Based on frog race 218 frame, with emax 2306 2400 kv motors and 30A blheli_s dshot600 ESC. Combined with 5 inches T5046C props it offers a lot of trust and torque!

It allows telemetry and OSD through betaflight.

Total weight without battery= 360g.

I just finished the build and still need to set-up PIDs. I will give my the parameters as soon as they are defined.

75g lighter?? Because of the motors?

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..
