A freestyle build, weight is not really a concern but I think this will end up pretty light nonetheless. I had been looking for a freestyle frame for a while. In particular I wanted a wide stance and a short body. This teammates frame fitted the build. I'm not convinced by the camera mounting shenanigans that come with the frame at I replaced the machined aluminium side plates with standard standoffs, and used 3d printed camera mounts I had lying around. This little quad (it looks small four a 5 inch) is a rocket. I have yet to refine the tune, but with ballpark figures it flies great as you would expect. I've gone for 5045 cyclones as I wasn't smooth flight characteristics, and Max amp drawn was around 90A, which is OK. All in all, great frame, matek stack is rock solid. Emax motors have oodles of power, and spedix ESCs are behaving. Looking forward to a lot more fun with this fella.

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