This is a very light weight DJI O3 toothpick. I had to have custom titanium main screws that are 30mm long and threaded to 2mm and 1.6mm dual threads. I also had custom 1.6mm standoff made to hold the naked DJI O3 circuit boards in the toothpick. This drone is very light weight comming in at 122 grams with the battery, model finder and external receiver. The DJI Remote 2 isn't very reliable. I will remove the extenal receiver to reduce 2 grams of wieght once dJI has decent firmware for the Remote 2. I will list ebay links in the parts list so that you can purchase the custom hardware. I had to spend $2,000 on the custom hardware and I have a few hundred of extra main screws and custom nylon 1.6mm spacers. You can cut down your own main screws out of steel using HSSE threaders of 1.8mm x 0.35 pitch and then 1.6mm x 0.35 pitch.
Notice the battery is perminently fixed with 20Lb Spider Wire fishing line. There is some velcro above the battery to make a spacer for the screw heads. This quadcopter is my main everyday flyer. It can fly 15 minutes in hover and 7 minutes in bando. I just fly a single flight and then charge. It is small enough to fly anywhere. The O3 camera is also naked and mounted with fishing line in the Larva canopy.

The main 4 screws are 30mm long threaded down to 1.8mm x 0.35 pitch and then 1.6mm x 0.35 pitch. I have custom titanium screws comming from china. I also had custom 1.6mm nylon standoff made. This custom hardware cost me $2000. I will provide ebay links below so you can buy the hardware without having to have minimum orders made in China.

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..
