Neat, do you plan to shoot some AP with this? This might make a nice platform for a compression mounted 3-axis gimbal.

I think you're better off investing extra funds into a good gimbal, like the Z1-Tiny2. You'll get a much better result with a good gimbal than good components. Plus, those SunnySky motors are very good in the first place. If you shop around and wait for a deal you can get the Tiny2 for less than $200.

Legend has it hobbyking let them go for $80 every now and then, and gearbest sells the tiny2 under the "ideafly" brand for $176.
Just finished front mounting mine to the discovery with almost no damping.. testing soon. If that fails I'll try mounting similar to Hba8103's design posted on rcgroups with the tarot/happymodel dampers I got. If that doesn't work, on rails in suspension out the front or slung underneath with legs :)

Build a DJI FPV Cinewhoop - QAV-CINE Freybott Edition

Mar 04, 2021

With the release of the DJI FPV Drone cinematic FPV has become a lot more accessible, but you certainly don't want to crash a $750 drone! The QAV-CINE Freybott is a compact, lightweight cinematic FPV drone that can take a hit and keep going. It's a lot safer to fly indoors and around people. With a naked GoPro or the SMO 4k you can capture some great stabilized footage. In this guide I'll show you..
