This Lizard has had more work done than Joan Rivers. It all started after my fourth flight and one of the motors stopped working. I didn't want to wait for slow boat shipping for an Eachine replacement so I paid a premium for the HGLRC from Amazon. Next, the stock CMOS camera isn't very good unless it's a sunny afternoon. So I replaced that with a micro CCD. However, the width of the Lizard frame is a millimeter or two too small. So I had micro camera mounts 3d printed. Along with replacing the camera, I added the Eachine VTX03. Finally, to top it off I wired in the HMDVR-S to record clean video off the CCD camera directly onboard. I believe all these upgrades added about another 10 grams of weight over the stock setup.

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..

thinking of putting those props on my lizard 95. how are they holding up?
I have also tried the Avan 2" and the Gemfan 2035 4 blades. I like Hulkies the most. The Gemfan 2035 4 blades are responsive and fast but aren't very durable at all. They bend back but never seem right. The Avan's are very good too. To me, they a little feel less responsive and a little slower. They are also very durable, but I would say they are worth checking out.
thanks!
