So this 4" seems to be the upcoming thing and I already had a few parts laying around so decided to jump on a build a GarageCrab. These things seem small but they're really not a bad build at all. The camera mount in the front leaves lots of room for the stack so I just built straight up. Weight is 185g without a battery and about 315 with the Lumenier 1000mah graphenes. We'll see how it stacks up against the 5" once I get some packs through it.
Updated with BH 1407 3022kv motors, a Runcam Micro Swift 2, and a custom printed pod. This really compacted things and offers much better protection to the camera than the original carbon mount. Really a speedy tank now. The 3022kv motors are preferred as they open up tri-blade prop options on 1000mah now.

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..

What did you put on the edge? It makes it look really spiffy.
Paint pen and thin superglue to seal it up and keep it from chipping off immediately. Kind of my signature white trim, rest of my builds have it as well.
Looks great!
It really does!
Such a clean build. I am going to have the check out the race flight stuff for my next setup.
