Yeah...stuck on the Fruit names... nothing pops in mind with the color scheme of this one, so more of a space holder, but I wanted to post this one to track the low weight achievement. And I just ripped two packs in my living room and this rig goooooooes.

I have some builds in the pipeline as usual...gonna build a cucumber fruit and a tomato fruit color schemes tiny whoop...still debating 75 vs 75 mm pro (40 v 45 mm props)...and cost v weight arguing HDZero AIO v the cheap betaflight or the better quality happymodel analog AIO...

But yeah, to summarize this one:
weight was really the main objective here. Focused around the cockroach lite AF frame from NewBeeDrone, the BF 4in 1 and the tinywhoop.com pincher camera.
Motors are WeBleedFPV... because those are best, and props are HQ ultralight.... for that same reason

Yeah...a couple of weird things that happened during the build process were --> the holes in the cockroach motor mounts were too tight for the WeeBleed snaprings that come out straight at the bottom of those motors....so I drilled those out. And another thing was --> those BF plastic peek screws had to be shortened to fit that frame with those motors...so I guess...weird frame dimensions, but nothing too difficult to figure out

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..
