Tricopters are Boss. And even better are foldabe Tricopters you can take everywhere.

I only have pictures without the motors, dont exactly know why.
But i can say this Frame is great. even with the extension due to the FPV camera mount
(which i got from here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:852768)
the whole craft can fold down to the size of a small bottle of water, allowing you to just put it in the sidepocket of your packpack.
Another great feature is that you can run a lot of wires on the inside of the craft, aswell that the FC can be mounted in a safe bay at the bottom, which i used for my PDB.

Very unique and cool design! I'd love a tricopter myself some day and for a price like this, that can't be beat. Only thing that scares me is the materials used on the frame, I'm not quite THAT good of a pilot yet.

Thanks for the build.

I wouldnt recommend it for racing or acro flying. More of an transportable AP solution when combined with 7“ props

Interesting. Would be hard to get decent footage without a gimbal though.

yeah aerial videography is near imposible without a gimbal, but you can still record using a gopro 3/4 and extract single 4k images

Build a DJI FPV Cinewhoop - QAV-CINE Freybott Edition

Mar 04, 2021

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..
