This is my first post to RotorBuilds and also my first DIY quadcopter. I built it for freestyle and just to fly for fun. It is super fast and lots of fun to fly. The mount for the reciever and video transmitter was designed and 3d printed by me. I also designed and 3d printed motor gaurds to keep the motors clean when it crashes, and an antenna mount that fits a buzzer and has two holes for the receiver antennas (both in red), but those are optional. I will edit this post later and add links to the STL files for both the VTX/RX and antenna mounts and the motor gaurds.

Update: I switched to Hypetrain motors and the Foxeer Arrow HS1190 cam which is intended for this frame and has a built in mic and OSD so is a much better option and I highly reccomend the switch. I also started using props with a pitch of 4.3 instead of 4. I tried 4.8 pitch props but they eat a lot of power and I don't like how they feel. I'm too lazy to change the pictures.

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..
