For this build I hitched a ride on the hype train.

I am building practically the same quad and I was wondering what your PID's are, Just to put me in the ballpark. Thanks.

My PIDs are 4.

You might just want to start with the default PIDs and go from there. If you aren't seeing any oscillations during flight you may only want to adjust your rates according to your taste.

Super clean build! What's the AUW (without battery)?

How did you get the HS1190 to fit on the camera mount with the 3d printed parts? I haven't figured out how to get mine to fit yet...

I just took a knife to it and made it fit by trimming away at the back portion of the rubber.

How is everything on this build holding up durability wise? It looks freaking clean!

I'll have to report back on durability because as of right now only testing flights. Pics were taken yesterday evening.

Awesome build! I love the colors. How do you like the ZMX V3? I think this is the first I've seen of them.

Hard to tell with the limited LOS flights I've had with them but they do feel very powerful. I had to get pics up on the site before the whole thing starts looking too gross :-p

Did you use a filter to get clean power from the vtx to your camera?

Camera is being powered by straight battery voltage which doesnt seem to be a problem on the HS1190. Powering the cam this way allows for the built-in OSD to show your battery voltage.

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..
