You do know that big metal part with the rubber on it that you put in your stack goes on the bottom of the frame? It's made to be a non-skid pad and support for the battery. The frame is assembled very wrong. When assembled correctly it not only supports the battery but helps strengthen the frame and gives a channel for the strap to pass through without it being right under the stack. I've never seen anyone assemble it the way you did. There's a CF part that goes on the stack to attach your VTX to and then you'd have room for a VTX with a real antenna.

Thank you my friend. We'll did many stupid things with that build. All the things u mentioned are correct. I did fix it when actually got this quad to the air and maintenence part came. Thx

No worries, just an observation. I'm in the process of building one with the same frame, that's how I came across yours, getting ideas. Just took the first test flight today and so far I like it.

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..
