This is a 3" quad that I really enjoy flying. It's slightly less powerful than the 1407 version and not lighter (172g dry, about 232g with battery) but that's a good thing in smaller locations. I can fly this quad virtually anywhere. I get 3-4 minutes of flight time with a 480 mAh 4S battery. Watch it fly around some palm trees in Oahu:

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!

You really like the Shrieker frame then :)
