The Falcon Multirotors Tinyshark is shipping now! Get yours for only $20!

This is the most fun you can have on 1 cell. Tinyshark flies longer, faster, and better than a whoop on the same packs... I haven't even had a chance to try the larger JST 2p pin batteries on this rig, and I'm already convinced I'll never fly a brushed micro again. She's good indoors for fast tracks or for slow cruising, with more than enough get-up-and-go to keep you interested, but not enough that she feels out of control. Tinyshark's top fin protects the VTX from upside down impacts, and with the nearly indestructible 4g prop guard solution installed, motor shafts and props take very few hits unless you fly full speed into the ground.

I crashed straight into my own neck without guards and had nothing more than, well, a red neck, but with more power, bigger props, and less protection than a whoop, and without the ducts, the props are more exposed, so you're more likely to cause injury if you crash into someone's face. Avoid this by being a big more responsible than you might be with a brushed ducted micro!

I designed a sweet new canopy and she's looking better than ever!

I was gonna get the babyshark but it weights twice what the tiny shark does

lazd   Dec 07, 2017 

It does weigh more, partly because of the canopy and partly because of the wider arms that are required to prevent breakage when the battery weighs 2-4x as much (1S 220mAh vs 2S 450mAh).

Makes perfect sense! We will see how the tiny shark holds up on 2s

Could you say more about the different prop guard options? The ones in the latest pics look like the Eachine Aurora guards , while the earlier ones (with less plastic and the hoop) looks more like the pepperfish setup, which apparently uses a cfk rod. Where do you acquire such a thing? :-)

Do you have a link to the frame?

can you like the new frame here once it's released?

Will do!

Is 34g with the prop guard the dry weight? I don't think I see a battery in the picture.

lazd   Sep 21, 2017 

Yes, dry.

Looks awesome lazd! In the main description, you said " haven't even had a chance to try the larger JST 2p pin batteries on this rig" - do you mean the heavier JST PH 2.0 "power whoop" connectors? Because it looks like that's what's in the photos, and the battery you listed uses that connector.

Also, could you run 2S with this setup?

Yes, I have not used the JST PH 2.0 connectors on this rig -- it uses the old, tiny E-Flite connectors. I listed the newer packs so people cloning the build would end up with the right stuff :)

You definitely cannot run 2S, unless you use an ESC that supports 2S such as the Star6 or tinyPEPPER2.

FYI. You've got 4 4-in-1 escs listed, making the parts list look like it costs $45 more than it should.

Fixed, thanks!

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..
