Reading through this thread inspired me to get my CineFlea out for a mad few minutes.
A while since this was posted. I’ve just grabbed one of these kits from UMT - looks really neat, and still a bargain atm. Would you happen to have a link to the STL file for the frame? I’d like to have a go at printing and modding a spare. Thx.
Oooh. Will have to have a look. Was actually looking to sell mine soon!
I’ve taken mine out of the heavy cine frame and am looking at putting it on a Twiglet 2.5" frame. In the Cine frame (40-50g) it flies like a brick on 2S, I reckon on a 5g frame it might be a bit more fun.
And yes they are good value for money even if you just take the parts and put them on a different frame. I mean you get a 12A aio fc that does 2-4S, 4x decent motors, vtx and cam, plus a 3S 450mAh Lipo, for £85. If you throw that on 2.5" frame with an elrs rx, you have a mini ripper for under £100.
I would love another one for transplanting on to a better (lighter) frame.
Pretty much my plan exactly
That list of parts for £85 is a steal in FPV terms!
The original kit comes with a 3S and this is way better than 2S by all accounts. It does look like a fairly chunky little thing so a frame swap would also work well.
The stack is 25.5 x 25.5 mounts so my plan is to move battery mount to the underside and then stick the spare Vista unit i have where the battery currently sits to replace the current analogue set up. Hopefully ending up with a pretty sweet sub 250g, DJI goggle compatible, sub £200 tiny cine whoop thing.

There’s a the STL mate
Magic - many thanks! (The link share isn’t turned on though so can’t access it atm)

Changed the sharing settings
Ah - smashing, I hadn’t searched for Cine8 on Thingiverse… seems there’s quite a few add ons for it too. Looking forward to playing with this when it all arrives
Thx for pointers - and your original post too which is super helpful.
No worries, tbh it’s one I need to get back in the air. I think it’s OK tbh, just not flown or played with it for a long time. Time to make it lighter
I’ve just charged the lipos for mine - I’ve recently (finally) sorted the BF gyro settings so I can actually now fly it in angle/horizon without it trying to turn upside-down and I currently have scaffolding up around the house, which should provide some entertainment. A bit wet today though.
It’s basically last year’s prices…
I’ve looked at loads of different options recently, and yup - you’d be lucky to find 4 motors and the FC for that price!
Well. That’s my weekend sorted.
Am lucky enough to live 10mins down the road from Unmanned Tech so got to go pick it up this PM
The FC is the thing that interests me the most, but the motors are pretty sweet as well. Finding a 12A 2-4S FC with connectors is a bit of a pain. I’m kind of hoping they will get some more of those FC’s in at some point. They are good for motor sizes up to 1303 (and maybe bigger). Plus the price was good. Now that i have a few Twiglet and Twiglet Mini frames to play with I am looking forward to putting some 2-2.5" builds together based on the CineFlea parts.
Enjoy your build. I found it to be more annoying to build that kit, than to build and solder up my tiny whoop. Several hours vs one hour.
