Quite a difficult build due to the cramped space just behind the power input pads. I had to actually snip the 4-in-1 board slightly around the pads to ensure that the positive pad wouldn't short with the frame in a crash. I also added a number of coats of conformal coating and liquid electrical tape. In hindsight I should have probably flipped the board around and put the power leads towards to the front of the quad.

I thought I'd try something a bit different and add mamba 'flashbang' LEDs to the motors. I also added a Matek BEC to this build as the flight controller isn't a HDV specific board.

Note that the tray for the DJI air unit is a custom TPU mount available on thingiverse. This shifts the air unit towards the front of the frame slightly to give the cable a little more slack and adds an XT60 power cable holder to the side of the frame.

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