A super lightweight and agile toothpick with HDZero AIO, perfect for backyard acro sessions - it just flies well, and crashes on grass seldom need repairs. A fantastic combo of HDZero digital footage with a micro platform - pure flying joy!
what's the benefit of tilting the rotors? I can only really imagine it making sense for adjusting overall pitch but still using differential thrust for attitude control on pitch. incredibly impressive design.
Beautiful design, saved the file for a future build. Does it hold up well in crashes?
A super compact and tough quad - perfect for indoor and close‑proximity flights, it really takes hits and keeps flying. The lightweight bone frame adds a fun twist - a totally different experience compared to regular X‑frames!
Well-thought-out build - lightweight, modular, and ready for tweaks. Perfect for those who love to experiment and still want smooth footage.
How much is your all up weight? I'm having to put in much more tuning with my little builds than I ever had to with my 5" drones. I still don't have my 2.5" or 3" perfect yet for extremely aggressive moves. With my 2.5", if I tune it perfect for one battery and then I change to a battery that weighs 5 grams more it flutters. I'll probably have to use two profiles controlled by a switch.
Hi! I'm working on a build similar to yours, and my on Apex evo frame the VTX mounts use M3 screws but the HDZero Freestyle V2 uses M2 screws. How did you mount the VTX to the frame?
With 10” props and 3110 motors, Sprunki you may need to adjust PID & filter settings in Betaflight or iNav to prevent oscillations.
Nice! Very similar to the turtle. As an aside. The Dogcom 560mah 2S 150C batteries are advertised as weighing 33g. The four that I received weigh between 31 and 31.5g. I will tell you that I believe the extra couple of grams are worth it. I also have the GNB 2S 530mah 90C batteries. The Dogcoms sag much less and give a better punch so much so that I am trying to get Dogcoms for my 3" build.
hey man, love your build!
I really like your final version of gopro mini mount, by any chance do you still have the stl file so i can steal with pride? I would really appreciate it.
I added the clam shell style GoPro mini 11 to the collection of FR7 parts on thingiverse, it should be the last item on the list (FR7_Hero_11_MINI v14 Short.stl):

I used these Clevis Pins (4mm X 25mm) that I bought from amazon to hold the mount gopro case together. Or you can get creative and use anything that is similar in size.

Hey so nice! I tried to copy, and used the same AIO, same motors same everything, I check I had motors and props correct direction, looks same as yours, but I can spin up the motors and it won't lift off, did you need to changed any setting for it to work correctly??
Thanks for the note! Sorry to hear you're having trouble. I would be happy to share my cli settings. I can also help problem solve as I've built many of these. Reach out via my email if interested.

OMG amazing, thx so much!! I don't want to waste your time, so will be very quick, I have swapped the AIO over w the same motors, tonight I will LOAD the DIFF I can see you provide, however I would have thought it would at least lift off, w the old tune, so I expect I have missed something basic, I am a bit new, but I have checked the motors direction in betaflight and prop direction and its looks correct it even looks same direction as yours, it was left stock in my case, I will go over everthing again, but wow, what a ledgend for offeing to help!! one motor did look like it was not spinning up, as good so swapped it out....more soon, I left the word on the build site for others to see if needed...;)
So turns out, the motor direction was wrong, and I change the magnets on the motor to 14, we have lift off!!! now to use your tune, thx again for helping!
Ok, that's great! Not sure what motors you use but double check your magnet poles. Should maybe just have 12.
I 100% could be wrong, I read, Rcinpower 1202 likely has 14 poles, Happymodel 0702 likely has 12 poles. on betaflight it says, count the magnets, not stator slots, so I changed it to 14, given the same motors used as yourself, what is your motor pole setting in BF?? I know its only for RPM filtering, but still keen to get it all correct....:)
