All paints I use is from "DNA Paints" https://www.dna-paints.com/
For this job I stated off with a base silver coat, then a candy colour coat "Purple", then I use a clear gloss to bring out a shine.

I think its funny that you mention this because I was thinking about it on the way home from work just a few days ago. I'll include a link to a 4 hole version that I made, but I have yet to test. I had contemplated make a version with only 3 (maybe only 2) holes since I never use all 4 screws to mount my motors. However, for now, here's a simple 4 hole version. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5529776

You rock man, Thanks! Yeah I plan to build one up and willl use larger 4 hole mounted motors. I've had three or four frames break that had the multi-mount option and really appreciate your efforts here. I’ve two builds in front of the Spark but will be sure to add it here as well as Thingyverse.

Thanks! I am using a Sovol SV01 3D Printer. The best thing about this printer is that it is all ready to go and do not need to upgrade anything.

Just read some of the other replies, and how the paint is holding up. I might try hydrodipping.. Great idea!

Hi,
The VTX is running directly off Vbat . I mostly use a 2S lipo and have not had any problems. Now that the HDZero Whoop Lite VTX is available I'm considering using that on a 5V connection. I'm contacting BetaFPV support to find out what amperage the on-board 5V BEC of the FC can handle.

Yes. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4586001

But I have since found this better one. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5466198

You are great! Tyvm

thanks dude, yeah 12000kv, I followed Kabab's recommendations and looked around here and it seems like the sweet spot for 1s 65mm.

Thanks, I like to build and try out new quads! Currently my all time favorite cinewhoop that can carry a full size gopro will be the Slammed Squirt v2.1 HD 6s - 2205 2300kv. The Cinelog 35 will be a close second, the only reason it did not beat the squirt is because of the noise level. If you have a Naked GoPro or Bones, you may have other options with a smaller form factor, like a cinelog 25. I just bought a few new frames that I have high hopes for and it may dethrone the Cinelog 25. The 3 new frames are: Snapshot, Hurricane 2.5" (similar to Lumenier QAV-PRO), Hurricane 2" (whole different class because it is a 2" and I never tried carrying a naked gopro with it before). It might take some time before I can finish them because I am still waiting for them to arrive in the mail. :)

Perfect, that's what I thought :) I think I'll slowly start acquiring the parts for the Slammed Squirt, hopefully some of it secondhand. I have a 5" quad but would love a cinewhoop too. Keep us updated on the new frames, very excited to see how they come out!

Hey man, I appreciate all you do for this hobby. Learned a lot from you!
But, you made me even more confused with the above comment. Haha
I have a Squirt V1 and I was contemplating to either let go or convert to a slammed.
And I wanted to build 2 of these Foxwhoop 25 with GP Bones, for indoor flights(mostly real estate). I worry that squirt/cinelog35/apex 3" w/ducts, is too big for what I want to do. For slow and steady cruise kind of flying, no acro at all!
Is a slammed squirt really good enough?
Or is a 2.5" really worth the hassle to get the perfect tune? Just to get the benefit of the smaller drone size and less risk in knocking stuff over on an expensive property.
Is there really a big benefit between overall drone size/width between these two?

I didn't notice much vibration on your gopro, specially because you were flying too fast, I wonder what would it looked like with further tuning suited for slow flying. Its the unbreakable guard that made me really want to get this haha

I'd really appreciate your input on my dilemma. :)

@zacuge the biggest difference that you need to be aware of is the camera you plan to lift. If you have both a Naked GoPro (Or Bones) and Full Gopro then you will be set to use what ever quad that would fit your task. Personally, I would keep both a 2.5" and Squirt because it will depend on the condition, I would choose one of the other. Something you need to be aware of is that you will get more prop wash with the Squirt when you fly indoors in small spaces. For example when you fly slowly down a narrow hallway, it may be more challenging to get a smooth flight with the Squirt because it will push a lot of air around and that air will bounce off the walls and back to your quad.

With the Squirt, I NEVER had any issues with vibration or jello in my FPV feed or GoPro recording. But with the 2.5" quads, it is a hit or miss. Depending on the quad and props, the amount of vibrations will vary. In most cases, you can clean it up in post production software, or even use the GoPro's hypersmooth. Because a 2.5" quad is small and lighter it will be easier to fly through small gaps, especially if you are indoors. Getting a good tune with any Cinewhoop is very important because it will make a huge difference on the handling and footage you record. It is not just the PID Tune and Filters settings, the Rates are equally as important too. The real question you need to ask yourself when flying indoors for a property shoot.... "do you really need a drone to do record it?" Especially if you do NOT need a one shot video, a lot of the time, you can do these shots with a nice DSLR camera.

I do not know much about the Squirt V1 frame, but if you can use the V2 mini ducts and have a 3D printer. I would suggest take what you have now and try and see if you can improve it. Because you will not get much money trying to sell an old V1 squirt.

Thank you! That's it then, I'm converting the squirt to V2 mini. But I'd like to take the challenge of tuning the 2.5 with GoPro Bones for slow indoor flying.
I'm already halfway through understanding all the PIDs settings and done a few but is mostly aiming for smooth/freestyle flying. I have not yet seen an example yet on tuning a drone for slow and cruise kind of fying. I already had low rates, and learned to use curves on controller(open tx) to get more resolution on the stick for throttle control.

The place where I live has lots of lifestyle properties that could benefit from FPV's flexibility in framing the shot in an artistic way(exterior) more than a normal dji drone can do, then swoop in for a tour inside the house. I thought that, whether I do a one shot, or multiple, the process would still be faster(please correct me if I'm wrong), than having a dslr with lots of extra equipments to buy and setup. I will be doing photography mostly, then offer FPV as an addition. There's not much fpv in real estate too in my area so theres that too.

Initially, I was going for Cinelog35 as it is overall smaller width, and can carry a full GoPro. But a really good deal came up with squirt included so I had to buy it and I can't get a Cinelog35 soon enough here in NZ. So I've decided to keep the squirt and build a smaller one for GoPro Bones specific for indoors. Luckily, a local shop has few frames of Foxwhoop 25 available.

I'd be keen for any of these Pavo30, Cinelog30, or any pusher type as they still end up way smaller than squirt, as long as they are way easier to tune than Foxwoop 25. :)

Again, thanks for your inputs. Kudos!

No Problem, good luck with your builds. Let me know if you have anymore questions. As for the Cinelog 35, that was the most difficult one to fly indoors. Plus, it is loudest so it is kind of intimidating. Check this out, I just finished this last night and did my first test flight right now: https://rotorbuilds.com/build/30081

Hey James, how are you liking this latest new build compared to the original 2205 2300kv squirt you liked?

I had a few other people built this same quad as I did with the 2205 2300KV motors and had trouble when using the same tune that I have on it. They were telling me that the motors are running hot and etc. So, I wanted to build another one with the same motors but different stack setup and see if I run in to the same problems. So, to answer your question...both builds feel the same. I did back-to-back flights between the quads and they both are practically identical.
