started life as an wizard x220 great quad for bashing and learning. as time went on i felt the need to change things, broken or not because i can’t keep anything stock.
running latest version of betaflight
Dshot600
4k/4k zero filters, motors are as cool as when i take off
multi star 1400mah 3s
just picked up some CHNL 1300mah 4s can’t wait to try some 4s
quad weights- 510g with battery no gopro
392g no battery no gopro
Mods!!!!
first to swap out was the stock motors and ESCs. i broke one esc and felt i should just upgrade to some 30amp and also felt i should upgrade to new motors. because why not.
also added a CAP to help video feed
next was the frame
removed the side plates
lowered the top plate with 30mm stand off. may trim them down to 28mm or even lower. retap if i have too
raised the arms to the top on the bottom plate (stock is under the lower plate)
doing these changes yes i lost a ton of support to the center of the quad but my new Center of gravity is amazing. quad handles great not boat like or very top heavy. i added two new stand off in the center of the quad for support. (yes had to drill new holes)
the amount of crashing i’ve done with this new set up haven’t broken anything. and definitely way harder crashes then when it was stock.
i’m happy with every part on the quad. video is clear. flight times are about 4min going hard. like balls deep.
amazing quad. can’t wait till i build another quad
cough cough in the mail ;)

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..
