NOT an easy first build, but I did it!
I had to modify those fancy carbon side plates with my dremel to accomodate the boards, and I literally just glued and ziptied the rx and the vtx. The vtx I went with is simply too big for this frame, so i have it tentatively ziptied on top of the canopy, though I'm contemplating replacing it with something smaller. If I could go back and do it again (which I will, someday when I recover financially from this one) I would opt for separate ESCs instead of using the 4-in-1. There just wasn't enough space for it to make sense. It also complicated things trying to get an AIO FC to play nice with the 4-in-1 ESC and not miss out on current sensing or anything, hence the sloppy extra wire running under the XT-60 (which I'm casually not giving you a great angle on due to shame)
But it flies, and I'm overjoyed and already planning another one, much to my wife's chagrin.

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