Typical ZMR250 build using cookie cutter parts. Little organization and wire sleeving goes a long way.
370g w/o battery, AUW 505g w/o GoPro.
Standoffs are 25mm nylon with M3x12 alloy screws. Camera is wedged in there, with Sugru (hot glue would also work) to hold it in place.
Added TPU GoPro mount and blackbox.

How do you get the paracord over the wires? Do you have to pull out the inside of the paracord?
If you guys where to build a fpv racer all over again would you stick with the ZMR250 frame? Or go with something else? Im trying to decide what would be a good frame.... Also what you spend the money upfront to buy a nice high quality carbon fiber frame like in this build or cheap out with some el cheapo fake carbon fiber?
This might not be the best place to ask, but im not sure where else to, it might be nice to have a forum or something.
I see those motors are only rated for 3s, would you or have you ran 4s on this anyway?
Wow. Just Wow. This has to be my favorite build aesthetically! I think I might have to borrow some inspiration from this with a lime green/black scheme.
How do you feel about the integrated PCB board? Ive read a lot of mixed reviews on them. It seems people either love them, or hate them.
This is the v1 FPVmodel board which requires insulating washers for the arms. It's not bad, I've had no problems with it. Survived many crashes so far, including a few head on metal pole hits which dented it a bit, and an unlucky tree tumble which ripped one of the ESC wires from the arm. All of the surface mount components are now hotglued for extra security. Some people have problems with pads lifting, but I feel that's installation error.
So for mounting the FPV cam you just shoved it in and filled the area around it with glue?
BTW: I love the cable tie antennas! That is so cool :)
Hi,
I really like this build, Just wondering which type of para cord you used where? I'm going to try this on my quad when I get round to installing a PDB for the remaining wires.
Hey, I was reading your description and see you used Sugru. I like that stuff, but have recently taken a liking to ThermoMorph. Have you tried that for anything? It isn't rubbery when it sets, though. It turns into hard plastic.
I'll probably using most of your parts list. Thanks!
Looks like your build had a good day today. The top spot on the featured builds seems to be working out for you!
I've seen you post this build a few places, and I must say I absolutely love it. Love the paracord wire loom!
Sorry about the price error! I corrected it for you. Now all the prices from fpvmodel.com should come through correctly here on out. I also just added part tags, so your parts list should be a bit better organized now. You might need to fine tune the auto-tag results though.
Great to see this here! I saw this on reddit the other day and loved the wiring job you did.
Well then, great work on the build and the photography! I cheated and just took some outdoor shots of mine, http://rotorbuilds.com/build/24
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..
Read moreWith 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..

How and where did you mount the receiver? I can't see it in the pictures. Thank you!
