I think this frame was intended for dual camera rigs however, I like the idea of one camera... two cams is too much haha! I added the runcam DVR, hopefully the recording quality will be alright, if not, I may upgrade to a HD cam system with built in DVR. The holes in the frame happen to fit a 5/8" OD rubber grommet; I used one with 1/4" ID as an antenna soft mount for the AXII Stubby, gets the antenna securely out of the way and facing my general direction... under the quad =) It also creates a nice little cant to the quad on lift off. Not sure if the ESC shield is going to help, but I figured what the hell, and stuck it on in hopes of cleaning up noise in my gyros and VTX. Printed WoodInMD's frame guards on Form3 in Tough1500 Resin, hopefully it lives up to its name.
Update - So I've been flying this thing for a couple months now, and it's pretty bulletproof (props excluded of course).

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..

hi,nice build but the vtx antenna under te model is not so safe....
How come? signal dips?
if you fly far away the best position for the vtx antenna is on top the model not down.
when you go back home the carbon frame between the video diversity receiver and the vtx antennax (I tried on my skin) is a problem.
Thank you for the heads up👍. great advice. I had not thought of this.
