Sub 300gr race & freestyle build

At the heart: TBS Powercube FPVision v2 (PDB, FC, 2x2in1 ESCs, Unify VTX & Core Pro OSD) for a simplified, clean & easy build.
Basically just soldering motor wires to the ESCs, plug in the receiver, plug in the FPV cam and done

Didn't want to go micro cam because I strongly dislike the quality of 600tvl cams, the new Foxeer Predator (1000tvl, mini size) fits barely with its massive 1.8mm lens. For increased camera angle for racing, got to screw on a smaller lens, switch out the nuts under the camera so the cam can sink lower or get longer standoffs (right now it's the short 20mm ones that come with the frame).

Don't like VTX antennas sticking out, so I paired with the Lumenier Axii stubby antenna for solid & tight mounting. No worries there.

The Ghost frame is an absolute beauty & ease to build. Clearly based on the Floss, I feel like its a great improvement with the butting arms for increased rigidity. Got the 6" arms for a future upgrade into long range. Much love for the RCAddict.
Soft mounted the motors with TBS silicone soft mounts, more solid than TPU.
Running this on 5s puts a big smile on my face.

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..
