Well this is my second Chameleon!
After damaging my first one (About 2 weeks to get warrantied exchange parts), I decided to get a backup to get flying all the time.

So I decided to go a little bit bigger (and follow the hype) with 2306 T-MOTOR F40 vIII 2400Kv.
Those motors are superb, really nice mate silver finish.

Hi, like your build! How do you manage inserting battery plug if the power plug is behind action camera? Is it too tight?

A bit annoying sometime but its ok really

Loving the look of the F40IIIs on the silver chameleon... What kind of flight times are you getting with them? How do they compare the the 2206 Oomphs?

Well they feel a bit more powerfull to me, but I changed the ESCs as well

Love the build, how do you find those f40's in regards to power?
Was wondering whether the xt60 in this (link below) flight controller would match up with where you have yours behind the session mount?

I dont think so, as I'm using cable I can bend them and get the desired angle, with a direct XT60 soldering it might be very tricky :/

Ok thanks for your comment. Am expecting my FC combo thing to come very soon, and will post the build once I'm finished.

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..
