Tweaker 5"

I've been flying this build for a few weeks now and I've been really diggin it. I was worried that the 3d printed mount would break but I've crashed this thing quite a few times and the carbon does a good job of protecting it. The only thing I'd recommend if you plan on getting this frame is to order the hs1177 with the top connector because the 3d printed mount makes it difficult to connect the wires with the bottom connector. The only other problem I've had with it is the included 8mm m3 screws kept getting ripped out of the standoffs on the bottom because they have to go through the 4mm carbon first. To fix this I just got some 12mm m3 screws which have been holding up really well.

Nice build. How do you like the purple tops?

ΔV Jul 06, 2016

Thanks. I really like the amount of thrust I can get from them and they're only $13 each. I think I might switch to 5040 triblades though because my escs and batteries have been getting pretty warm due to how much current the motors pull with these props.

$13 is certainly attractive, but last time I looked they really get you on the shipping. I wonder how durable they are.

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..
