It's hard to find frames for 070X motor mounting holes pattern. Luckily T4bee Design has a wide range of super micro frames at Armattan Productions. Mine is 68mm Micro frame. Quality is amazing and it weighs next to nothing.
I don't like most of available camera mounts. I mean ones that you put at the top of the stack and slide the cam into. They don't offer sufficient protection and they just don't look good. So I had to design my own cam holder. It's made of two pieces of high impact polistyrene bent into shape using hot air, with holes drilled for screws, antennas, cam button and plug. For extra style I added a sticker cut from a piece of electrical tape:) I did not have time to fly a lot, but so far it survived a couple of crashes. I guess at 24 grams (plus battery) the quad doesn't have enough inertia to harm itself during a crash.
Camera itself is quite ok. I had to cut one of its connectors and solder wires to connect video in/out to FC. Now I have a nano quad with OSD, and that's great:) KingKong Tiny 7 did not have that.
12000KV 0703 Boldclash motors with 40mm KingKong props are ok but just a tiny bit too weak to my liking. So I'm ordering both bigger props (41mm four blade and 45mm triblade) and 15000KV motors. We'll see how it will perform with those. At the moment my flight times are just above 3 minutes on severely abused and slightly puffed 3.7V 450mAh Gaoneng batteries I got with KingKong.

Nice work, good to see someone else on a 40mm 070X train
That's a super cool micro you have there! Looks like it's from Star Wars or something. Impressive that it's only 24g - wow.
AirbladeUAV has done it again and this time they've brought long range to the 5" class! Based on the popular Transformer Mini, the new Transformer 5" Ultralight adopts a lot of the same design philosophies with larger props and more payload capacity. It can fly upwards of 20 minutes on a 4 cell Li-Ion battery pack and in ideal conditions it's got a range of over 4 to 5 miles. In this guide I'll walk..

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..
