I always liked the frame designs of Armattan. This Tadpole 2.5" is no exception. The frame is just big enough to house all the components. I even managed to include a relatively huge buzzer. It was challenging to find a 16x16mm FC/AIO ESC stack. Also the motor wires were too short, so I had to extend them a little bit. Overal, I liked how the build turned out.

The flight time is about 10 minutes, which is really good!

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..

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.
