Looks good!!
Undecided between the Tadpole and Phantom frames for a 2.5" build (or something better if it exists). Analog for now and maybe HDZero when available in low weight options.
Having used both frames, which one is better or do you prefer?
I was planning to build a ultralight 5" for freestyle with the Emax Eco II 2004 instead, aiming to be able to run on 4 or 6s, do you recommend changing to your suggested motor? I'm particularly a beginner to intermediate pilot, thanks in advance (and also for supplying my mind with so much builds below 250g)
Beautiful build!
I fly 6s on 2200's tmotor for months now.
Have an Tmotor p60a esc, but the real difference was an fettec spike absorber and 35v capacitor! ;)
doing a similar build. its is all together and have bind to my Radiomaster 16S Pro. however, i cant get it in the air. i have my flight control arrow to the the left of the camera whereas you have yours to the right. using betaflight, all motors spin the correct direction and are mounted in the correct location. this is my very first build. im 70 years old and and for the darn of me, i cant figure it out. you help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Nice! I've built 2 of these 4" versions on 6s so far. They are so damn much fun. I didn't even think about throwing a Nebula Pro Nano in there.. I guess it would be just about as good as any other 120fps cam. I also have a regular 5" 2fiddy built up too, but run 4.5" props on it, and it's just about as good as the 4" versions.
Dude those side panels make it, they are awesome. You should think about making more and selling them. Love it.
Such a great mod to bring HD to the Micro Alien. Looks great. I stopped flying mine after I built a Micro Apex 4 with Vista.
Ahh man, I want to see footage of this baby in action! I've wondered when people were going to start pushing the 35mm whoop platform. Super cool!
Wow, I ordered my parts for this yesterday almost the same spec (except analogue) and the v2 frame. Cant wait!
awesome build! may I know what battery are you using? as I have a 1507 motor and running 1300mah and my motors are very hot and only have 2.5mins flight time
Do not give up on those motors yet. Ideally you should use a 4s lipos and up to 1300mah with the 1507 3600kv motors. In the past, I was able to get about 10 minutes flight time with 1300mah 4s lipo and 1407 3600kv motors. Please keep in mind this it base on slow cruising speeds, and I had kept the quad as light as possible. What you should try first is different PIDs. Check out this build I have, Look in the image gallery, and on the bottom are 3 screen shots of the PIDs and ESC settings I did. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT.... you have to use Betaflight 4.1.5!!!! I know it is an older firmware version but these PIDs are specific to that version of betaflight. Give that a try first, and see how it does. You can still use a motor output limit, but you might have to set that up on CLI. I do not recall if betaflight 4.1.5 had that in the GUI.
Hay there did you have any issues with your air unit overheating? My buddy has the same setup and a air unit in the nose with the gopro hole open and still had the unit blackout on 25mw. We are thinking overheating.
