Martian III frame with 6" arms. Bottom plate trimmed and rotated 90 degrees to make a stretch X. The thin fiberglass board was used to make place for a battery strap and the pod is held on with the lipo strap for now instead of the bottom mounting plate that the designer on Thingiverse had intended. Haven't crash tested yet, but this way it's easy to access under the pod and the strap seems to hold it on snugly without the need of the added weight of the other piece. It's still heavy at 385g as pictured. The pod is fairly heavy printed in TPU, but really captures the HS1177 camera with 2.1 lens perfectly and with good protection. A very small part of the pod can be seen in the camera view, so maximum lens protection while not getting into the view.
The TBS unify was mounted on the back of the HS1177 camera so all FPV is mounted in the pod and can be easily separated with the JST cable, although I plan to add smart audio support to change VTX channel by Taranis script. (that's what the blue wire with open connection is for.)

AirbladeUAV has done it again and this time they've brought long range to the 5" class!

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..

Do you know if these Rcx motors are as durable as the old Red bottoms?
I've never had the EMAX red bottoms to compare. I've heard of people busting magnets loose on both EMAX and RCX, although I've not had issues out of mine. Worth a shot if you buy them with the "no warranty" option I think.
