This is an excellent build, with the exception of the motor/esc combo. With awesome parts from TBS and Motolab, do this rig some justice and get some good EMAX red bottoms or anything other than Eachine motors. I love the blue outline, I might have to do this on my Martian II builds.

With a naked GoPro or the SMO 4k you can capture some great stabilized footage. In this guide I'll show you..
