Tadpole reborn with Baby Turtle
By DoubleJackOnTap on Sep 19, 2020
I had a Baby Turtle laying around from a previous project and it needed a place to go. I've seen several other Tadpole builds on here running small HD cams, so I decided to strip down my previous Tadpole build and start over. This was my most challenging build so far - not much space to cram in all the stuff I wanted. It took multiple trys to make sure I had room for everything. I thought about giving up on the baby Turtle several times. In the end, I was happy that I didnt give up on it. Its not pretty but Im sure it will fly just fine.
Its raining too hard right now for a maiden flight, so I will have to post an update once Ive done that.

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

Looking forward to seeing some footage! These are great little machines, and with HD, kind of ridiculously good, given how tiny they are.
