Rebuilt the Gecko! I shaved down the Ori32 so it fits in the orientation best for the BAT leads. The Ori is a perfect match in terms of the connecter. No reording the wires which is nice.

Using betaflight 32/32 Multishot with 32 Khz PWM frequency

Check the second pic in the look to watch it fly with the GoPro with the old setup. That was on a 3s 850Mah so now I have 4s and will give it another shot with the new setup.:

I have almost this same build. Whats your all up weight with the battery and gopro?

Nice work! Do you have any video with the Hero 7 Black? I'm shocked (happily) that a Gecko can carry such a huge camera.

Clean build!

How did you shave down the Ori32? I haven't received mine yet and was researching how I would fit it on my Gecko.

Thanks!

Vlad Jan 24, 2019

just used a file! its really easy to shave down. If you really have to you might be able to use a nail file on the clippers.

Build a 5" Long Range Drone - Transformer Ultralight

Jun 21, 2021

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..

Build a DJI FPV Cinewhoop - QAV-CINE Freybott Edition

Mar 04, 2021

With the release of the DJI FPV Drone cinematic FPV has become a lot more accessible, but you certainly don't want to crash a $750 drone! 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..
