FPV pilots are gravitating towards the sub 250g build to avoid the FAA's remote ID. Thankfully there is more and more to choose from. I personally have found the sweet spot in this 2.5" little ripper. Proto FPV has a great thing going in not only the P25, but also their 5" frames.

Hi!
What's your impression of its flight performance? Also, what are the approximate average and maximum flight times (depending on the battery)?
Thank you

The performance is comparable to my 5". It really is quite nimble and fast. For just racing around, I'm using a 4S 720mAh and getting approx 5-6 minutes of flight. i also have a 4S 3000mAh LiIon that gets me almost 15 minutes of flight.

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..
