This build was an attempt to put all the technical features of a 5-inch quad into Toothpick size.
So I chose my components to have BLHeli 32, F7 FC with blackbox logging and twin gyro, digital video, LEDs and an extra loud beeper.
I didn't find an AIO controler with all these features, so I decided to use a mini-size stack.
To get all mounted, I put the ESC underneath the frame - but putting all these components on each other results in a big tower nevertheless...
This tower flies really great and relieable, but it feels bit underpowerd, compared to a 4S 5-inch.
Weight dry: 115 g
AUW with 4S 450 mAh: 167 g
Unfortunately, the frame has proven to be not so stable, or this build is just too heavy for this frame.
It broke during a harmless chrash, which means I have to build a version 2 ;)

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