This was a fun build. Quick, easy, and clean. Based on the Featherlight 4" frame, this is also by far the lightest build I've ever built -- based solely on me lifting it up. :)

Flies great, extremely nimble, and very quiet. Can't wait to fly it through some gates!

should work just fine :)

Hi again, thanks for the advice earlier. Ive finally received the parts for this build but not sure about the pinout. Are you connecting tx2 to vtx osd or is that for smart port telemetry?

Nice build! Are you flying it on 4s or 5s?

whoisfpv Feb 18, 2018

Thanks! I'm flying on 4s right now. I don't think the FC supports 5s voltage, so I'd probably need some modifications to do that.

Those ESCs are really noisy, i think the emax bullet pros would be better

whoisfpv Feb 09, 2018

Yeah I've seen some tests and they are indeed pretty noisy. But nothing noticeable as far as video noise, and tune is smooth like butter so I'm happy :)

sounds good, HAPPY FLYING

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..
