This is basically a similar setup to the SmashinPumpkin that I built with the HDZero AIO, but as an analog version.

It's a little bit lighter, but flies almost the same.

Currently 75 and 75mm Pro seem to be the best sizes for around the driveway and in small spots outside. I don't think they need to be on 2S, as the 1S setups really smash. Also build a black 75mm regular with the HDZero AIO and the rcInPower motors, as that's a sure winning combination... waiting on a LuX camera for an upgrade in video on the smashing pumpkin, and I've still got some interest for an 85mm setup, which is probably the largest I would feel comfortable flying in my driveway.

I've got a mob8 which flies pretty good, but sometimes kinda flops around strangely...still juicy flicks, power loops and matties...but just doesn't feel as "locked in" as 75mm, which seems to be the outside sweet spot...and 65mm below 18 grams is the sweet spot for indoors. The 2S at that size is perhaps a bit heavy, flings better, but then is too sluggish to feel locked in...and yeah, that mob8 frame is trash... already on my 3rd one, gonna try out the meteor85 frame, but my expectations are low

... another thing I have been noticing with flying tiny whoops on my driveway...rain gutters eat tiny whoops for breakfast lunch and dinner. Normally it's trees to watch out for, but it's so much easier to climb a tree than getting roof access

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. With a naked GoPro or the SMO 4k you can capture some great stabilized footage. In this guide I'll show you..
