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.

FPV has had quite a journey. Just a few years ago we started racing drones around a track and doing flips over trees, but professional cinematic FPV is a more recent development. DJI has always owned the drone photography market, but smaller acrobatic drones are starting to enter the market. They have the advantage of close proximity flight indoors and around people. There's more artistic freedom and..

For the longest time we've been limited to 3 to 4 minutes of flight and lots and lots of batteries. With more efficient motors and frame designs it's now possible to push the envelope much further. This guide will walk you through the process of building a micro long range quad capable of flying 8-30 minutes and more than 4km. The build is moderately difficult, but with the right tools and steady hands..
