OpenRacer DJI O4 Build
By Stevensbox on Feb 23, 2025
This is yet another build based on Limon's (Ivan Efimov) OpenRacer frame. He recently released the canopy incorporating the DJI O4 (get it on Github). I was initially surprised it now mounts the VTX on screws but quickly realized its necessary because the O4's entire top plate must be removed to access the antenna connectors. As per the previous canopies, I had to lengthen the canopy legs & cut into the body to give access to the Speedybee F7V3 FC usb & make room for the LED connectors. I need access to the usb connector because it powers up the GPS via a usb power bank for the required 10 to 15 minutes to get enough satellites to work. This keeps the VTX from over heating if it were powered with the lipo. If interested, get my stl file at ... https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6959891

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..
