Building a 5 inch using the Space One Frame

I bought the Space One frame while it was on "Sale" which seems to run constantly. $34.99 for a frame, I figured I'd give it a shot. Great looking frame and shipped in 3 days. All the edges of the 4mm baseplate have been sanded and rounded nicely.

The standoffs and screws provided also seem very high quality. I chose to go with a Custom 3D printed race pod rather than the standoff and top plate. I got 2 different pod versions so I can use a different camera if I want.

It could have been even cheaper had I only gotten the bottom plate and used the 3D pods. Bottom plate alone is only $25 https://www.spaceonefpv.com/collections/parts/products/220-x-replacement-unibody-frame

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..
