I have assembled the Cinerat for filmmaking, and it proves to be an incredibly versatile frame, particularly when equipped with prop guards, enabling both indoor and outdoor flight. The build is exceptionally sturdy and robust, capable of withstanding rough handling.

However, I am experiencing a relatively short flight time of about 2-3 minutes with a 6s, 1150mAh battery and GoPro 11 Mini. I suspect that the PID tune may not be optimized for my setup. I would greatly appreciate it if you could share your PID tune with me; any guidance on enhancing flight performance would be invaluable. Thank you in advance.

For those interested in the 3D aspect, you can find related files here. It's important to note that the FPV camera mount, specifically the holes for attaching the FPV camera on the front piece, is positioned too low in these 3D prints. This resulted in an inability to adjust the FPV camera angle properly.

To address this issue, I had to use longer standoffs for the top plate to achieve a higher position, modify some of the TPU, and incorporate spacers to allow for proper adjustment of the camera angle. Based on my experience, I would not recommend the front piece 3D print at all. Ultimately, I opted for the regular that Ethix provides.

AirbladeUAV has done it again and this time they've brought long range to the 5" class! Based on the popular Transformer Mini, the new Transformer 5" Ultralight adopts a lot of the same design philosophies with larger props and more payload capacity. It can fly upwards of 20 minutes on a 4 cell Li-Ion battery pack and in ideal conditions it's got a range of over 4 to 5 miles. In this guide I'll walk..

With the release of the DJI FPV Drone cinematic FPV has become a lot more accessible, but you certainly don't want to crash a $750 drone! The QAV-CINE Freybott is a compact, lightweight cinematic FPV drone that can take a hit and keep going. It's a lot safer to fly indoors and around people. With a naked GoPro or the SMO 4k you can capture some great stabilized footage. In this guide I'll show you..
