What's so GOOD about the Umma95 FPV Drone

We came across the Umma95 drone during our search for a super-small FPV quad. High Line Drones were hired on a project to promote a local attraction. In this project we were asked if we could fly through a small tunnel? Of course we can!!?;)

This became a mission to find and build an FPV quad capable of delivering what the client asked for. And one that was capable of fitting a GoPro Hero 6 on-board. The reason we went with the Umma95 was not only for its size or GoPro carrying capabilities. It was also because it was equipped with the Caddx Vista meaning we could use it with our DJI Digital FPV System. Which we knew was the combination we needed to achieve our mission.

What's NOT so good about the Umma95 FPV Drone

If you want to get really picky about the Umma95 drone and ask us to list a few cons about it. There would only be a couple, one of which is no surprise for a small and light quad. And that would be the wind! If it's breezy, it ain't gonna be easy!

The other would be the access to the serial port. Once the quad is built it's a huge pain to get to the port to hook it up to Betaflight. You have to remove the landing pad and unscrew the Flight Controller each and every time you want to make changes.
