This is a full custom build I designed around a Runcam 2 camera. I wanted something durable and light to take HD video footage, so I started from scratch and made every component fit as tightly as possible together in Solidworks. Then I got the CF cut from Armattan Productions and 3D printed durable CF reinforced nylon parts on a MarkForged mkII printer.

Great build! - very interesting approach.
What's your AUW? And do you have any flight footage you could share?
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..

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..

I really like the idea of using a runcam as an all in one video capture and fpv system. It's a slick little build and YES I would be VERY interested in making one!
But what about the latency? Pretty impressive that he managed to fit one in there.
Latency is 40-60 ms glass to glass, compared to 20 for a standard analog system. Noticeable for proximity flight but totally fine for cruising, which is what this build is intended for.
Very cool, do you have any flight footage?
Wow, that's awesome! That's gotta be the best footage I've ever seen from such a small quad. What's your AUW?
