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..

How did it work out fitting the Mini HS1177 camera in this build (can't tell from the background picture, no other photos)? I've only been able to get a smaller CMOS camera into the frame, the larger HS1177 & Swift had to go up on top. I don't like mounting the camera on top, too vulnerable to crash hits, and I also don't really like the CMOS cameras--prefer the additional clarity of the CCDs. The new RunCam Swift Mini seems to be the same 26x26mm size as this one, and I ordered a couple of those, so I'm interested to see if that size fits.
It's currently being rebuilt with that FPV Pod I listed above http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1618876 It gives it pretty good protection but does make the stack taller than I'd like but I couldn't deal with the limits of the small CMOS cameras. Too dark when looking out with the horizon nearly level and poor dynamic range. I will update this to show the final product some time next week for now it's in pieces on my work bench.
Ah, thanks, I missed that! So even the mini won't squeeze into the frame? That looks like nice pod solution for top-mounting the camera, I'll have to print one up and see how it works out. Thanks!
