This is quad is powered purely on hype! All the latest stuff I could fit into one quad! It's super heavy though! 660g with GoPro and 4S battery, 700g with 5S. Wish it was a bit lighter.

Oh I see. So how do you like the Loki? I am tempted to get one because of the 6mm super slim arms and the weight. I have a 3 inch build using the Storm Sirio X3 frame and I really like it.

It is pretty good, though the 6mm makes it a bit heavy. I think maybe there are better frames for the same or less weight that are as durable, but so much of that is user preference. I like this one because if you work it right you can mount the battery on top.

Could you show how you have connected the fc, pdb and escs because i'm planning a similar build?

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..
