Sirio X2

This is my first micro build, but I really like it so much.
It was coming in a DIY set from helipal, and in this set there was almost everything there what I needed for the build. I am really happy with the supplied parts, the quality is great, there are only 3 parts what I found not OK in the DIY kit:

for the battery cable is better to use AWG16 cable with XT30 connector
better to change the VTX for a stronger one, I think I will go with TBS Unify
The original battery straps are useless, they are too short for any kind battery

BTW: I broke my camera lens fixing ring, and can’t buy it anywhere for the RunCam Micro

Update: After a small crash ( its crazy because not even the prop was bent and the motor has not had contact with anything) one of the magnets moved out on the motor :( No chance to repair, have tu buy new motors.

Update: I added the FrSky r-xsr and the TBS Unify 5V, so I have now telemetry and also smart audio :)

any chance you could share your betaflight configuration somehow?

Nice build. It's so cute!

Napalm Sep 14, 2017

Thank you! Unfortunately the motors are not very durable :(

Carbon_Rob Sep 14, 2017

Oh well...

Nice build, super clean and sleek.

You can buy those camera rings. I have purchased them before in a pack and they are better than the stock ones. LMK if you need a link.

Napalm Sep 10, 2017

Please send me the link. I can not find them because they are not M12 like usual camera rings, they are M8.

BlackbirdFPV Sep 11, 2017

Well it may be the M12. Here is the link where I bought mine. https://www.readymaderc.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=11_62_63&products_id=6061

Great!.... Are you sure 4s 650 on this little thing??? Not to heavy????

Napalm Sep 08, 2017

Sorry it was my fault, i run it on 3S, but you are right, the AceHe LiPo's are to heavy, so I am waiting now on some lighter LiPo's.

My first choice was Gensace, but they are useless.

Build a 5" Long Range Drone - Transformer Ultralight

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..

Build a DJI FPV Cinewhoop - QAV-CINE Freybott Edition

Mar 04, 2021

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..
