This thing only weighs 214g with everything but the battery.I could have shaved a few more grams with a mini or micro camera, but I hate the way they look. The Asgard was replaced from https://rotorbuilds.com/build/4638 free of charge from myairbot.com even though I purchased it from rtf quads. I didn't even send in the bad one. Shoutout for that! Also, I didn't realize it the first time, but there are solder pads on the Asgard, and you don't have to use the jst connectors if you don't want to. Its 362 all up (with battery). It's pictured with RaceKraft 5040's, but I plan to test HQ 5040x3 v1s and all the newest bi-blade props to see which is best for the high kv motors. Thanks for looking!

Update: Since I'm going to be racing this thing, I broke down and added 3 grams of motor wire protection on the arms. = )

I am convinced my scale reads high after seeing this build. You build is exacttly like mine, but with a heavier camera!!!! and yet I am about 10 grams over...."

Have you flown this thing yet?

Just a hover test indoors. Looks like you have longer motor wires and a longer xt60 lead which may account for some of it.

Not the floss, but a decent edit.

Based on the popular Transformer Mini, the new Transformer 5" Ultralight adopts a lot of the same design philosophies with larger props and more payload capacity. 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..

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..
