The largest obstacle to getting into FPV is money. Normally, someone has to pay $300+ to get into the hobby. Well after months of scouring the internet for the absolute cheapest quality parts, I show you step by step how to build an awesome micro drone and everything else you need to get it in the air at a fraction of the price. DISCLAIMER: the Links are affiliated, meaning I get a small commission at no extra cost to you when used (It is a great way to support the channel) Sadly the MEPS AIO 7amp flight controller is all sold out for good… Next best budget Flight controller is BetaFPV MATRIX 5in1. It costs $50so a bit more expensive but also has higher VTX output of 400mW compared to MEPS AIO.

Betaflight configuration should be the same. Let me know if you have any questions!
