I must have built 35 or more of these over the years and it still is an amazing frame to fly. I own several builds still and I use 900 MHz, 2.4GHz or 1.3GHz for video depending on the situation and UHF for radio control for miles of flying only limited to my batteries (which can be up to two 4.500mah packs in parallel). I have several different antenna setups for best reception and portability ranging all frequencies from 900MHz to 1.3GHz for video and 72MHz up to 5.8GHz for radio control.

How long are your flights?

Charles Hidalgo   May 17, 2017 

I can get 30 minutes or more on parallel packs and 10" props.

Thanks for the update! When I first started, I had the Blade Chroma 4K, than I saw an episode of Drone Racing League (DRL) on ESPN and slowly moved away from photo/video rigs and into racing. After looking at your build, it makes me want to go back. Do you have any flight footage to share?

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..
