Based on this build by Murders FPV which is what started my build journey so check it out - https://youtu.be/k54V_UknaeQ?si=YLumihC_DxqaTl9E
This is a step by step how to video to help you build your own FPV drone. It’s a 3.5inch Sub250g, freestyle quad with DJI O3 and although these aren’t the cheapest parts, they are high quality and easily available in most countries… they also make the build extremely easy.
I’ll not only show you how I build this quad, but I’ll also take you through the Betaflight configuration and set up all the way through to your first flight.
If you're new here, I've been flying the 3inch version of this (the Siren F3) for the last year, it quickly became my favourite quad and is the closest I've had to a 5inch in a Sub250g package. As soon as Quadmula announced the Siren F35 I couldn't wait to try it out and since recording this video this has become the quad I run daily.
Disclosures:
I am not sponsored by any of the companies/ brands featured in this video, I haven't received a discount or free parts in exchange for creating this video. These are the parts I would typically use for builds. I've listed all the parts I've used below with non-affiliate links, this is partly because I'm too lazy to set them up but also because these parts aren't cheap and I want you to be sure that I'm not gaining anything by you buying any of the parts in this video.
If you do want to support me or the community, go check out MurdersFPV's channel and use his links for this build as he's the reason I started and now love building these quads!
