This was my first time building a micro, and it's been a lot of fun. I love fine details and figuring out placement for everything, and building something this small it was a necessity. I went with the Eclair V2 because it can carry the Runcam Micro, I hate CMOS cams and the little ones just don't do it for me. I like to see where I am going.

If you look at the stack theres the ESC on the bottom, Micro Lux V2 above it, and a third level made from a piece of delrin plastic that has the VTX on top of it. Its very clean and looks good with only adding about a gram of weight. Since it comes in at 78g I didn't think that extra gram was a big deal. 124g with the 3s 450mah lipo. The lemon sat is between the FC and the VTX mount.

Edit: I swapped out the motors to the Emax 1106/6000kv. Run times are about the same with more power. They run a little warm so I'm going to try some different prop combos.

I get about 2.5-3 minutes depending how hard I'm flying.

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..

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..
