This is the rig I run on warmup heats, or heats after I've already qualed for finals or won my round. I throw a gopro on this, slightly higher pitch props, and get at least 3 laps of madness until I slow it down. on 1300 this struggles for 2 minutes but with 1550 it has enough juice. I never race competitively with this, I only use it for HD. It's at least 100gm heavier than my normal setup before I throw a gopro on. I think AUW HD in the air is roughly 580, where My racers are 400.

I have the 40 deg couch mount for the gopro. sometimes it's enough :D

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