I picked up a job lot of frames off the old bay with one in particular I wanted. This was in the mix - the Lantian LTHEX4 200mm Pro.
Although a lot of stock pictures and bare frame review shots are floating around on Google, not a single photo of a complete build can be spotted anywhere. After thrashing the Y200 and destroying it's pod, I transferred most of the goodies to this frame and submit a completed build picture of this mildly interesting frame.
This is my first build with the sweet & clean Matek FC405 with the matching PDB. The layout of this FC/PDB is well thought out and the board is very well assembled.
The pieces all fit nice and snug. No filing needed. Lantian did a good job with this.
One gripe is the battery strap holes seemed to be an afterthought and interfere with the pod. It's going to be such a pain to service this thing.
The frame is 3mm thick so it's inevitable that I will destroy this thing as I'm a complete noob with two left thumbs. To help prolong the magic, I gave the frame edges two coats of nail polish to reduce de-lamination under flex
RIP June 24, 2017 - So long pal.. had some good times! Frame couldn't handle my newbage - time for a new frame!

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..

Watchout for your fpv transmitter, mine used to hang off the drone like that and after a few crashes the female connecter for the antennae broke off
haha, thanks for the warning. Actually on maiden this morning, when I did a quick roll, the antenna flexed into the props and got ripped out! Fortunately nothing got damaged... so I should be back in action for this sunny weekend..whew!!
