Tangerine
By Rotorenpilot on Nov 10, 2024
I've had the parts for this thing sitting in a box for a few months now, just waiting for the right time... I guess.
Maybe it's also just the fact that it's so much easier building a 5 inch and getting it to fly right than a 2.5 inch, which is kind of an odd size...
But yes, finally just put this together, mainly out of leftover parts and pieces accumulated from other quads they didn't work out for. I still haven't gotten the right props, or a proper battery strap, and I'm not sure if the battery will be top or bottom mounted. Flew it with a top mounted 3S and it handled pretty good with no tune, just my normal rates. Pretty snappy and kind of what you'd expect for 2.5 inch, but I'm sure it can be sweetened up with a proper tune and some larger props

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..
