Attemt at making some sort of decent aerial photography quad as cheap as possible.
At some level it was a success, on some parts it was total failure.

It works decently, but as I guessed, the arms are waaay too flimsy. FPV feed from upped fixed camera is total jellotown. I will replace the arms with carbon fiber arms when materials arrive.

Instagram post with some video and more pictures.

Pros:

• 20min+ fligght time
• Gimbal + gopro makes very smooth video
• GPS flight position hold works well
• Dual cameras are good
• Lost model beeper, just in case
• Somewhat quiet
• Cheap

Cons:

• Wobbly
• Jello video
• Gimbal has glitch which makes is tilt in some direction when copter yaws
• Alt hold drifts a little
• Had to rise motors higher to make room for the battery
• Very annoying to open and very little room to work on.

Frame required some light fine tuning with basic tools.

End goal for this was to build some sort of copter that works and then change out what is needed to make it work even better, and I think I achieved this goal.

To do is a comparison between this and actual Phantom 4.

Enjoy a lot of pictures. :)
