This build is for smooth flying while filming with a Bones 10. No flips, rolls, etc, hence the tame rates. I am very impressed at how smooth it flies and pretty much vibration free as you can see from the osd footage in the video. I do have sorbothane under the Bones.

Instead of mini Immortal T(which was going down to LQ 1:85} i switched to the L zip tie configuration and now the LQ barely dropped below LQ 1:100 going out 4,000'

The video was filmed at 10,000' and tested with 3 & 4s batteries. The 3s were very lethargic with no real power but flew well. The 650mah 4s is perfect lots of power and flight time with bones @ 4 minutes.

This flies so good that my Impulse Alien 3" is now shelved.

I went to install the included go pro mount and it is designed for the regular gopro mount, not the bones 10. i cut out the middle tab and put in spacers, seems solid.Alt Tag

Hi, you have a nice build there ! I'm flying a lot of 3inch drones and I have a few different 1404 motors. I was looking at the XNOVA a while ago... Can you give me a feed back about them ? are there better than other ? would you recommend them ?

yes i like them, they seem smooth. i am just using them for filming, so smooth flying in the mountains along cliffs etc. no flips, rolls or fancy stuff.

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..
