Freestyle 5" 4S Analog CRSF

3 0 4

Tried and true 5" freestyle CRSF on cheap analog.

In the process of replacing all my crap banggood parts with stuff from GetFPV and Rotorvillage. Made a couple purchasing mistakes but I'm happy I got something to fly with even if I am still using some cloned parts...

Problems with this build:

Had to use nylon standoffs for stack, couldn't find long enough m3 screws and frame didn't come with any.
Xilo Stax VTX is a 30 x 30 mm mount, I accidentally bought it thinking it was 20 x 20 and could go in the back. Oh well, nothing double sided tape can't fix.
Runcam phoenix 2 barely fits between metal standoffs, can go behind but cuts off image or just leave one standoff unscrewed and it fits. (big L)

Future plans for this build:

Replace FC/esc with AIO FC so I can fit vtx on main stack or replace rx/vtx with crossfire sixty9 (it mounts 20x20) which would make it a slamdeck build
Upgrade motors.
Get a smaller camera if having the frame standoff screw missing causes problems.
Neoprene feet between immortal-t antennae to stop it from spinning instead of poster tape, less messy.

great angle for.. hovering in place lol

Arcaniist Aug 17, 2023

I'm a freestyle pilot, not a racer. Having a zero degree cam angle stops your roll/yaw from mixing and makes a lot of tricks 1000% easier. Yeah, it means im not going mach 5 everywhere but my fly style is more about building momentum

cool - do you have any flight footage?

Arcaniist Aug 17, 2023

Not published, no. Just got the Runcam thumb, I'll post here when I get some footage!

Build a DJI FPV Cinewhoop - QAV-CINE Freybott Edition

Mar 04, 2021

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..
