FPV quadcopter

The FPV quadcopter Drew built, head-on, showing four ducted propellers and a front-mounted camera.

Build summary

I built an FPV drone in my basement using a carbon fiber frame, 3D printed ducts and camera mount, and I even experimented with some 3D printed blades. The ducts were especially important, allowing me to fly around my house without worrying about hitting anything with a bare prop. The camera is a Lumenier and the flight controller runs Betaflight, which allowed me to tune the drone controls to my liking.

The finished quadcopter at eye level on the workbench, showing the printed ducts around the orange three-blade propellers and the Lumenier camera on the nose.

The quad packed in a case alongside a blue FrSky Taranis transmitter and a pair of FPV goggles.
