I wanted to put a Vista into a RotorX Atom 4" but the stock canopy is far too small and there is no support for a 26x26 AIO.

So taking the stock RotorX Atom4, some calipers, and a few hours in Fusion360, I soon had my own updated clone design.

It flies great and is super portable. This quad, the Tango 2, and the DJI Goggles can be thrown in any backpack.

Shoutouts to BensonK for the canopy design and to CNCmadness for cutting the frame.

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