JellyFish

The idea of this project was to use 3, 3.5 and 4inch props with 1407-3600kv brushless motors on a frame as short as possible.

We ended up with the "JellyFish", based on an awsome 145mm frame designed by my good friend Brax and a "Jelly" pod modelised by myself.

whats the weight on just the frame? or frame and pod

Babouch   Nov 05, 2017 

For the complete model that you see on the pictures, with 4mm frame, pod, all the electronics and 3.5" biblades props, weight is around 160gr without battery and around 240gr with a tattu 4s 650mah.

With the design of the pod, I try to keep the center of gravity as low as possible, the holes in the "head" are also for that purpose and not just an esthetic choice.

But how much is the frame and hardware alone? I love the design.

Babouch   Nov 05, 2017 

Glad you like it, but sorry dude, I don't know the weight of the frame alone.

AirbladeUAV has done it again and this time they've brought long range to the 5" class! Based on the popular Transformer Mini, the new Transformer 5" Ultralight adopts a lot of the same design philosophies with larger props and more payload capacity. 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..

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..
