I feel really happy Pirat Frames decided to make 2nd generation of Lil'Matey – this tiny 3.5" frame is awesome!

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. :)


Dry weight: 218g
Full weight (with 4S 850mAh battery): 320g
Flight time: 6-8min

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..
