First i have to say it's not such an easy build because of the frame weight consideration and the closed top frame.

TIP OF THE DAY:
The frame has M3 mounting holes for the stack, but the XJB boards will only fit on M2 standoffs.
I used cartridge of BIC pen to make an adapter that fits snugly into the M3 holes on the frame and reduces them to M2. DUDE!

I try a first build with a micro swift for a total weight of 163g.
But i think micro swift was too small for the frame so i put a swift 2 for a new total weight of 171g witch is pretty good for a Jap'.

I used the new amazing XJB F428 stack from HGLRC, with the optional TX20 video transmitter mounted atop the flight controller.

Finally i'm verry happy with this build because i love this little quad and flies like a champ....

How do you like the F428 stack?

Are components (esc/fc/vtx) connected with header pins, or soldering required between them?

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..
