I've built this beast with ruggedness in mind. The frame is a custom design by a friend called DoomedFPV that uses ridiculously thick carbon and has been crash tested a good amount. It's available in a shop over here in the UK.
It's paired with the Matek F405 flight contrlller which even survived my pitiful attempts to destroy it on the bench. It's the only FC that's survived my terrible relaxed approach to wiring and let off some magic smoke but still kept kicking. Thing is a tank.
To finish the immortal theme I've put on some HypeTrain Blaster motors that have a replacement program which means they must be pretty damned strong if they are happy to replace any you break for nothing.
The green colour scheme came first, then the name Froggy. and the front mount and screws looks like a weird frog face.

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

not true! I've seen your builds, and they are great! Especially the joker :D
