This was my first ever build. I didn't listen to the internet when they said the atom isn't a beginner friendly build. But I wanted something small yet flies like the big boys. I learned everything from youtube, multicopter subreddit and the fpvchat on slack. Thank you everyone for helping! It was a great learning experience. The only thing I would change is, actually listen to the internet and start off with the 1105 motors, this thing is hard to fly. I'm new to flying in rate mode.

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..
