vtx is just under the top plate. just make sure to shield any exposed metal from the frame. a layer of electrical tape and or shrink wire around the frame top should work.
rx is stuffed somewhere in the stack or under.

Hi nice build and flight Where are you fixed the VTX and RX???

What does it weigh?
The foto on the scale doesn't show the weight

i should have used a pic that would not get clipped

How much flight time do you get?
Mine is heavy with the prop guards and 1.9" props.
I only get 2:30 minutes on a 450 mah
I might get rid of the prop guards and put on 2.3" props

i get the usual 3.5 - 4min flight time, but i dont typically do punchouts or dives. just smooth crusing and some flips.
i highly recommend going 2.3 emax prop. you can also get much lighter prop guards for 2.3” if you want.

Build a DJI FPV Cinewhoop - QAV-CINE Freybott Edition

Mar 04, 2021

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..
