My first drone build. Wasn't sure what I was doing, but I did my homework and think I ended up with a pretty sweet little kit. Printed a lot of custom parts to get the look and fit that I wanted. Learning to fly and tune it now.

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!

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