Bare FPV, minimalistic build.

This buid started out as a "cheap backup" quad build but quickly spiraled into something else.
It all started when I saw the frame, MitoF2 210 and immediately thought, I have to have it.

The motor of choice was the DYS Samguk Wu 2700KV.

For the ESC and FC, the first plan was to go with the XRotor stack and it also ended up that way.
The ESC is a 4 in 1 40A ESC and the FC is a OmnibusF4SD board.
Alt Tag

Add to that, the XRotor VTX to complete the stack.
Alt Tag

The build

The motor wire have blue braided cabel sleeves and are secuered by an o-ring around the arm.
Alt Tag

Mounting the frame was a breese, even though instructions was lacking.
Once the first board was in the frame (ESC) the motor and batteri wires was soldered in and I was ready for the next layer.
Alt Tag

As the boards has pinheaders to connect the boards together, ther is no need to solder wires between the boards, which maks for an easy and tidy build.
The only thing to solder on the FC board was camera and RX wires (six in total).
Alt Tag

The camera, I had never tested before, the Caddx Turbo F1, was a bit to small for this build and not really suitable, I would recommend a standard size camera fro this frame.
Alt Tag

The RX turned out to be a FrSKy XM+, nothing to say about it ;-)
Alt Tag

Finailly it was just to put the top on and start cutting to vinyl stickers.
Alt Tag

Only some of the where fitted but I think it looks good.
Alt Tag

End result

Alt Tag

This turned out way better then I could have hoped for. So good that I plan to build another one so I have a backup in case of craches.
So I can only recommend building this setup.

The advise

The only thing you need to watch out fot is the C-rating on your battery as this quad eats C's.
My batteries are 45-90 C's and they are not enough.
But remember, this is a 5S capable machine.

Enjoy!

how did you mount the camera?

I used this (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2839053) as a base and made a remix (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3338453) to fit the frame, fired up the 3D printer and made the part.

How do you like the motors quality wise?

So far so good, Smacked the quad right in to the mud, but a good cleanup did the trick and no issues with the motors yet.
Also plenty of power, the hole combo motors and the XRotor stack is really nice.

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..
