My first mini quad build. This was very enjoyable to build. The frame tolerances were very good. The camera pod was a little difficult for me at first to build but I watched the video and that helped. I havent cashed too hard yet but I haven't broke anything. The DAL Cyclone props are very durable. I've onyl got a few nicks and some grass stains. If I was going to build it again I might go with a 4-in-1 ESC so the are would be cleaner looking, but I might have to re-think using the Holybro Kakute because of the gyro isolation making it a little taller than other FC's and getting it all to fit in the stack. Another option would be to not mount the VTX on the stack, however I like having all the components (except the TX) mechanically attached. Model flies great

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