UPDATE - 8/17/17 - Sadly on its third flight this quad was lost in action. A full speed collision with a tree top caused it to spin out and into a watery grave in a local creek. It was lost with all hands in 4 feet of murky, weed filled water despite the valiant efforts of me and another by stander wading around for 90 mins looking for it. I should report that for the time it was alive, it flew awesome. I really love the BF 3.2 dynamic filter! I have bought a new Matek FC to upgrade my other Chameleon to the same specs. Orange Chameleon July 2017 - August 2017, gone but not forgotten.
UPDATE - 8/8/17 - The build is now almost complete so I thought I'd add a few photos! Also, excited to discover that a standard silicon m3 o-ring serves perfectly to give the TBS Unify bulkhead fitting a nice tight fit through the antenna mount hole on the chassis. Oh, and in case anyone was wondering I used Sharpie paint pens for the orange.
So, after breaking the Obsessions arm after 1 crash I decided just to build a second Chameleon. Really planning to make this build as neat and tidy as possible.

Where did you mount your RX? Right behind the camera?
It's actually underneath the FC. I bound it first before putting it in finally, and I also remove the plastic connector and direct soldered the wires to save some height. It fits perfectly under the board if you use the rubber anti-vibe standoffs with a single extra nut underneath to space them up a tiny bit.

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..
