My Lumenier QAV-R kept cracking its bottom plate, so I now moved all the components to the original one, the 5" Alien frame. I'm very excited with this one.
Weight: 422 g (everything except LiPo)
AUW with LiPo: 587 g
Special considerations:
– There is a Panasonic 1000 µF 25 V low ESW filter capacitor in the quad for filtering.
– I applied a bit of super glue around the sides to strengthen the carbon fibers and sanded afterwards
– The buzzer's ground is connected to the FC, the positive side is conected to the LiPo voltage. That way, the buzzer is much louder. This works because the FC only switches the ground side and would pass through 5V to the buzzer + pad.

I picked up this in place of the capacitor you used. Will it suffice? http://www.frys.com/product/6816106?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG
What significant difference is there by using the cap?
Is that a custom 3d printed mount for your GoPro Session?
Yes I wrapped it in good quality Gaffer's tape so it holds the shape better. The foam I use is sturdy on its own but this way it will also resist the pressure from the straps better. The whole foam angle will be pressed in after some weeks, I gotta make sure there is still material left to dampen the camera, otherwise the camera would press against the frame after some time.

In late 2019 DJI made inroads into the FPV scene with their remarkable low-latency digital system. It gave us a 720p video feed with latency on-par with the status quo, analog video. Traditionally we've used analog video systems for low-latency video, but the video quality is far from ideal. It's a trade-off we've been willing to accept for the control. Now we've got the best of both worlds and what..

When the FatShark HDOs hit the market in 2018 the FPV community rejoiced for the new Sony OLED displays. While they lacked further upgrades like an updated DVR and power button they were still a market success. With the 2019 announcement of the Orqa FPV.One the community finally had a potential HDO killer on the horizon. With only weeks before the release of the Orqa FPV.One Skyzone came out of left..
