Hi, I'm building my first drone out of the ZD550 frame. Most of the extra weight would be from a small gimbal like this (180g) and a gopro hero 4 (83g). What kv/size of motor would be ideal for this config, plus some extra? Some speed would also be nice ;D I'm hearing around 600-900 kv, but I...

Hi I am a racing drone newbie with some very basic tiny whoop experience (with my TinyHawk) which I found both exhilarating and frustrating. I love the way these tiny race drone fly, but I am deeply frustrated with the fact that most such drones require much more technical skills (or time to...

Hi, I'm just your average man who wants to get into the drone hobby without breaking the bank. I have about $150 but I don't want to spend it all on a drone. I want one which can take good films / is hd ( 730p or 1080p ) and I can use as an fpv racer. I know this is a lot to ask, and I have...

Hey everyone, I am new to drones, hence the Beginner thread, and have been trying to do as much research as possible on drones. Unfortunately, information is all over the place and in my experience, the best place to go is the knowledge and experience of others. I am looking to buy some...

Hi everyone! I am quite new to drones and quadcopters, and I am still learning to fly. I have two smaller cheap chinese quads at home for now, one with FPV and one without. However I am not very pleased with the ones I have as they feel and behave very low-quality, and the flight-time is under...

Hi guys, I am building my first racing drone. I thought it would be easy as it's not the first radio controlled thing I've built (electric longboard) but apparently a drone is a whole different story :) I finished the frame as far as I could without obstructing the electronics, but I simply...
