Hi. I like this and am going to build one too. Where have you mounted the Nano? Also, several months on, is there anything you would change?

Hello, and thanks for the interest! I mounted the nano rx with 3M sticky tape just under the stack. As of changes, I would consider installing a BN220 as well, as DJI now has added betaflight GPS support. I've also heard people preferring the Ttan DC5 frame, although it's slightly more expensive. I have also bought an iFlight GoPro mount that i just now added to "misc parts". Let me know if you have any other concerns :)

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