Blue Aurora

Couple of months ago I got my first brushless quadcopter. It was a aurora 100 from Banggood.
Since then a lot has changed and upgraded. The aurora 100 is known for its bad camera so that was something I wanted to change out and switched to a runcam micro swift. (which i painted (kinda messy)blue). The bottom plate is the 2.5mm upgrade from Banggood, and to make it 3s capable I changed the motors to DYS 1104 6500KV. In its current form its a lot heavier than the stock Aurora 100, 73.06 grams. It's still a lot of fun on 2S but the real fun begins with the 3s on this one.

Jun 21, 2021

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..
