Eclair 3K 2"

This is basically a redux of my Lantian 90 build. After I built the Lantian I found that the FrSky receiver that came with the Eachine Minicube stack seemed a bit flaky, and I wanted to get something with diversity. I promptly smashed up AIO VTX/Camera because of the reciever losing connection. I decided that I would go the route I had originally intended and get the Eclair 3k + RunCam Micro Swift 2. I de-soldered the old FrSky receiver and reused the FC/ESC, pairing it with a new FrSky XSR-M receiver. For the VTX I got the Eachine ATX 03 because it's the same price as the Eachine VTX 03 but comes with audio (I like having audio and want the option to add a mic).

Using dshot commands with betaflight 3.2.0-RC5 for the beeper so I don't have to solder one on and take up more room.

Can you see your props when you're flying with this 2" frame? I noticed the props appear in the bottom corner of the screen with the Eclair 2.5" frame.

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..
