This time i built a KababFPV toothpick inspired design. I had trouble some with the tiny solder pads on the FC, i found out that with the help of a better soldering iron and a microscope it's way easier and i think it is the best soldering i've ever done.

The frame is a custom design by a friend of a friend, very solid design.
Camera mount and battery mounts are 3D printed, and the battery mount is a little bit tight. My batteries almost don't fit anymore after they've puffed up a little. I'm probably switching to a rubberband, similar to what Kabab did. As you can see, the M2 screws are a little bit too long, but i didn't have anything else.
I also covered the arm with some electric tape to protect the motor cables.

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