This is my first attempt at including an HD action camera on a quad. I have went with the Hawkeye Firefly 2 due to the low price and weight.
The quad flies great, if a little slower than expected due to the extra weight of the camera. Maiden flight footage has been uploaded to YouTube:
To further reduce weight, the battery in the Firefly 2 has been removed - the camera is powered from the main lipo battery, using a small buck converter to drop the 4S voltage down to ~3.9V (the camera did not function correctly when powered from either the 3.3V or 5V pads on the flight controller).
Attempted to partially soft-mount the motors by using 3 layers of electrical tape around the frame where the motors are screwed in - unsure if this actually helps reduce vibrations or not but thought I'd give it a go anyway.
Using a few 3D printed parts found on Thingiverse to keep the build as tidy as possible, making full use of both stacks provided in the Gecko frame.

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

A camera with a cheapest price, I don't want to take this offer because i never came with best writing services and it was not perfect to have such an interesting points. I would like to invent the most important work which are be increase when we see working for cameras.
