My first 2 DJI 04 "lite" builds were a 75mm 1S whoop and an 85mm 2S whoop. I decided to try open prop for the 85mm so I moved my components to a Bassline frame. Really loved it but wanted to make it more of a freestyle looking setup. Just finished my Baby Turtle. I cannot say enough how much I love the 04 "lite" air unit. I don't really fly my 6S 04 Pro 3" as much as I should :)
I can shave a few grams off of this but I will do that next weekend. I'm charging batteries to give it a rip. It currently weighs 47.4 grams.

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..

Does the footage look ok with gyro flow?
I have since disassembled the Baby Turtle because honestly it did not meet the performance criteria I was looking for. It's gyro flow performance was usable. Not perfect. I moved the Baby Turtle's 04 air unit over to my JeNo Pocket build. The JeNo Pocket's performance is more in line with what I was seeking in a backyard freestyle quad. It is much closer in flight performance to a larger quad. The JeNO Pocket's gyro flow performance unfortunately is much worse than the Baby Turtle's and I cannot use stabilization with it at all. I have some things that I will be trying to fix this. It is surprising to me that the stabilization performance on my 75mm whoop 04 is very good and I can't get it smooth on these micros.
I didnt realise i commented on both your posts! Thanks for the reply. I have the same build as your pocket on an alfarc fi115 frame and also have issues with gyroflow, however the footage while flying is good and has no jello. I was thinking the jeno o4 camera mount would have solved this but seems like it hasnt for you.
It definitely hasn't for me. The turtle only suffered from mild gyro flow issues. My Pocket is so bad I turned off the stabilization.
