Any Advice on how you got the Monster to fit? i heard people had a hard time and shaving needed to be done because of its width. any tips or Advice?

I just mounted the camera into the aluminum cage before attaching the cage to the frame. Then you just need to kind of squeeze the cage to line up the holes and slide the screws in as you go. I did not shave the camera down. Hope that helps.

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..
