My first 5" build was a lot of fun and I love the way it flies. I was bummed that the "Golden" champion is actually more of a copper color, but they still look pretty sweet. One downside of this frame is that the side panels don't have a slot to slip a strap through, so I'm finding GoPro mounting cumbersome. Other than that everything worked great - haven't really done any tuning but I'm not seeing any oscillations when I punch it (thank you Betaflight anti-gravity, perhaps?)

I can bite and tell if its the real gold but I cant find it. My friend Yukon tries finding it by chucking a pick axe at snow and licking it. He looks like a jerk doing it and a really weird man.

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..
