How did you mount the camera? Did you use the pressure mounts that come with the frame?

Has the lack of weight made your quad more "durable". I find on my quads which are 500-630g AUW have needed to have their motors replaced every 2-3 months due to everyday crashes into dirt and pebble. I want a quad that I dont have to buy a new set of motors for every couple month just because of everyday crashes

I picked up 5 spare arms when I picked up the frame. Through several races an lots of gate hits I have not needed to replace any arms yet. It seems to bounce off things rather then smash into them.

I would say yes. I also feel that in most cases that a impact strong enough to damage a motor would break the arm first. The replacement arms are only $1.99 ea.

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..
