Kopis CInewhoop concept

Decided to try to design a new ducts to Kopis Cinewhoop.
Kopis frame is very good platform to my purpose, since it is quite low prized, frame is really rigid but original ducts are crap :P
I designed a hollow double duct to replace the original hard plastic ducts. I am aiming to have more durability and softer crashes.
Bigger ducts means, that i had to redesign the cam cage plates to bring the camera forward. I also remixed the GoPro mount to come more forward.
I designed a simple antenna mount to Caddx Vista (Rush) antenna to rear. Also some landing pads.
One duct weights about 60g. It sounds a lot but if you take e.g. Taycan: Two ducts weight alone 15g each, then foam, 6 standoffs, top and bottom sandwich plates -> goes very close to this. I weighted my Bumblebee build to same weight with this design, about 350g without gopro and lipo.

All printable parts are here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4235898

I use some old Gemfan Hulkie 5055 props now and they work very well trimmed close to duct.

SETTINGS:
I have the Betaflight version 4.1.5 and latest blheli32 flashed
Motor timing is set to Auto and pwm frequency is 48hHz in blheli32.
I run Dshot600 with 8k/8k, because i use the F7 fc.
Rpm filters are on.

I copied my settings (shown in the pics) from cinewhoopers Facebook page. My bird flies like a dream with these! Super smooth!
Removed the previous settings from this text, because these new are WAY better! :)

How did you attach the back of the GoPro mount?

Hello !!, what a great job !!. I consult you, I am just with this build, this frame, and I am in doubt if it influences that the FC board, is centered on the frame or not? I should do the same, but I'm not sure about that. Thank you!!!

yes fc fits to center just fine. i had to put the stack to rear, because i had a first batch vista with short cam cable.

I was about to strip this quad for parts and make a new one, the ducts were so bad. Gonna give it another shot with your new and improved ducts after seeing this!

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..

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! 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..
