Tom, 5" freestyle for old analog boys

Here is my new freestyle build based on my frame design.
The purpose of this design is to be very compact, not too heavy and still rigid.
I wanted something simple and original. I tried to have the minimum amount of screws but still with dedicated screws for the stack.
Notice the vtx (Rush Tank Mini) which is isolated from the rest of the stack by the main plate and whose location contributes to the compactness of the frame.
I don't fly bando and the frame was not designed for that.
Also the propellers are in the field of view, which is not ideal for cinematics, although they are only slightly visible in this color.
Its preferred uses are, you guessed it, proximity/open air/sbang freestyle.
The total weight is 660g with the huge CNHL black serie 6S 1300mAh battery (235g), the DJI Action 2 and its TBS glass ND filter.
Many thanks to Tim O'Brien for designing the DJI Action 2 mount !

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..
