Dragonfly

A 7" fpv/freestyle drone I will use for photgraphy. The drone is equiped with GPS and propper RID. I have included the list of what I believe to be every item purchased note the RID module ships with extra mounting hardware I used around. The camera mount which holds my phone is sized for an iPhone 15 with an Otterbox case and is angled 7.5 degrees downwards while the inverse one is 7.5 degrees upwards the photos included use the inverse mount.

Aprox ~1.2Kg

Materials that are not listed but implied:
Electrical tape
Solder + Soldering iron
Basic tools for assembly
Label maker for registration (optionally use masking tape and like sharpie or something)
A piece of scotch tape over the registration cause I don't trust the label paper to stick

The tail of the drone that makes it look like a dragonfly keeps the gps away from the main electronics and keeps the RID module which is 2.4GHz away from the 2.4Ghz ELRS reciever to hopefully minimize signal loss.

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..
