I got sucked down the rabbit hole and am rebuilding one quad and building two new quads. All are planned to be 1s builds that are focussed just on flying and having fun. Most of the builds I have taken on have been focussed on the ability to film with either a naked gopro, an insta360 Go, or an insta360 one r, but more often than not I just end up flying my custom 75x build around my neighborhood. So Im listening to my habits and selling a couple never used quads to make space for more of these fun quads.

All thats left is configuring all the soft/firmware end of things! Im stoked on just how clean this build is. Definitely is motivation to get the TKS75 swapped over to this 5in1 AIO. Also really hoping this TBS linear antenna works out, cuz its oh so clean and tidy!! Will report back once I finish the beeps and boops, hopefully with some flight DVR.

Welp this has been a ride. both this build and the babytooth took giant steps back and essentially required rebuilds. In this build I had a jacked up pin in the usb that bent when I inserted the usb for one last run through of the config before a maoden. So I had to order up a new micro usb connector to solder on later, and the second happymodel 5in1 aio I got originally for the TKS75. so after a quick rebuild of the quad and the config we were finally ready for a maiden.

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..

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..
