Built a 1S tinyshark and then immediately wanted a lightweight 2S for more acro power.
This guy is lots of fun. He crashes well. I think the prop guards help save the not-super-robest racerstar motors from a fair bit of trauma. Though it does feel more agile without the guards.
Cons: I really don't like the micro cmos camera, and the version of the cam i have extends past the canopy by quite a bit unfortunately. I've shifted focus with a frontal crash already. Using an unsightly glob of hot glue as a bumper at the moment. I shelled out for the runcam nano hoping for better video - waiting for that to arrive, not sure if it'll fit the canopy.
Thinking about using the fullspeed baby16 2S stack in this guy (losing telemetry, gaining OSD) and moving the 1S-2S capable tinyfish+star6+pololu stack to the tinyshark, to make it 2S-capable.
PIDs that work:
roll: 30, 40, 27
pitch: 40, 50, 32
yaw: 70, 45
4k/4k, dynamic filtering, PT1, both gyro notches off
TODO
- replace tinyfish + racerstar + pololu stack w/ fullspeed baby16 FC+ESC and micro frsky rx. Loses telemetry, but gains OSD. Becomes 2S only.
- try runcam nano for better light handling, low light?
- design new pod with more camera protection. maybe that can fit AIO cams.

I love how it gained prop gaurds only after you rammed it into yourself 😂and the squirrel was so chill about it

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..

The FSD-tx200 seems to fit pretty tight. do you have problems with overheating?
Yeah, it was tight but I don't think I had issues with heat. Though I've since redone this build to use a custom pod: https://rotorbuilds.com/build/11346 (i need to finish the write-up, so it's still a mockup at the moment)
That pod is designed for use with a micro AIO whoop-style cam+vtx, like the cm/vm275t or the LST-S2 Shinehalo camera, because I found that those cameras actually had better image quality than the cheap banggood camera that the babyshark pod is designed around. You do lose the ability to do 200mw, though.
Wow that pod looks awesome!
