I have not had a good opportunity to test its full capabilities yet, but those few flights I had, totally assured me this drone is gorgeous.
The only thing I worry about is the motors – they rip af and I can fly easily on 25-30% throttle, but they become pretty hot even after cruising for a few minutes, so maybe will find out how to fix it in the best way later. On the other hand, the motor's technical documentation cautions that they would be that hot in a similar configuration, so I'm not sure for now if I'll keep them or if I should try to replace them with a 2680KV model.
To install the Phoenix2 SE camera to this frame, I needed to modify the default camera mount lightly, you can take it here if you need it. here if you need it.
Also, if you want to install an action camera to this frame, feel free to use this mount I designed. :)

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..
