My first Crossfire build. A 5" Armattan Rooster with AIO. The Lumenier Alpha AIO made it a nice clean build. The MMCX connector for the VTX antenna is really nice, much more solid than the regular U.FL connector.
Designed and printed my own Crossfire Micro RX tray which goes on the standard 30.5mm posts.
Sourced some really nice TPU printed parts from BMC3D: VTX antenna/Immortal-T Mount, GoPro Session Mount
The Alpha AIO FC/ESCs is mounted in the default orientation, which has the battery leads come nicely out the back (the BMC3D mount is built specifically to allow this). Had to get a special right-angle micro USB connector to get in there though.
Flies nicely with the default BR 3.2 PIDs. So far I'm liking it as much as my go-to Alien. It might become my daily driver....

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