It's a Garuda with a SirinFPV! This build was super clean with the Sirin providing the FC, OSD, VTX, and blackbox logger.
I used the Garuda Race Canopy (affectionately nicknamed the "race thong") and the 3mm bottom plate on this build to make it a little more lightweight. It weighs in at 296g dry with LEDs and a durable antenna.
I actually ran the pigtail forward and under the flight controller to prevent stress on the solder joints. The XSR sits on top of the FC, and the COB LED bar on top of that. There are two more COB LED bars under the arms, and all 3 are powered by the Uberdistro's 12V regulator.
I ran the current output from the Uberdistro PSB to UART2 RX and set feature CURRENT_METER
, then set current_meter_scale = 183
, and Sirin instantly showed my current usage on the OSD.

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