My first build using my knowledge from owning a Wizard and knowing what fails on it. Any help would be great! Still debating if I go 4in1 ESC or single ones. Also Blheli_S or Blheli_32?

You can save quite a bit of money by going with an Omnibus board. If you aren't running individual ESCs you don't really need a PDB FC. Are you running a 16:9 headset? Otherwise you don't need the Monster cam. I heard it's difficult to find a good lens replacement for a wider FOV. You're probably better off with a Runcam Swift variant or an HS1177. And finally I'd just get a VTX03 and use the included antenna. It gives you great reception for the price and you can save the cost of the Aomway antennas.

Thanks for ur feedback. I was looking at the omnibus f4 pro FC as I want the amp meter. The thing that turned me off was how u had to wire it up to the esc and battery. Also the matek runs a 32k gyro. Do u know what the latest omnibus board runs? As for the camera and VTX I already have them on my wizard so was planning to swap them over. Have u used the latest Racerstar tattoo 4in1 ESC with Blheli_32? Any feedback on them would be great! Thanks mate 👍🏼

There are 4-in-1 ESCs that have a current sensor. I think that's a better place for it. I'm not sure how useful the 32k gyro is unless you can run 32k system wide. I've never tried that personally. I have not tried the BLHeli_32 ESC yet, but probably sometime soon.

AirbladeUAV has done it again and this time they've brought long range to the 5" class! 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..
