My first build ever. Initially i wanted to 3D print a simple frame (MHQ2) and just slap some cheap 3S-capable parts onto it, but the more i read on forums and the more videos i watched on YouTube (Hi Joshua Bardwell!), the further away i went from that original plan. At first it was only switching everything to 4S, and in the end i completely abandoned even the 3D printed frame and went with the Armattan Chameleon.
The only 3D printed parts actually used are a custom designed "back stack" for the RX and VTX, a bumper that holds an 8 LED bar (Adafruit Neopixel Stick), and a mount for the beeper that goes under/behind the FPV camera.

Looks damn good. I would go with two battery straps for those big batteries though! Would love to see a video from this aircraft.

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..

I really like that mount you designed for all the "guts." I'm thinking about using it myself but i was wondering if you think the frsky r-xsr receiver dimensions are 16mm×11mm×5.4mm would fit? Maybe with some vhb tape? And awesome first build by the way, it's very clean and sitting pretty! Thanks mate!
