Since Dave_C published the design, I wanted to build a NanoLongRange - a year later I finally had all the parts together and could start building! I followed the template of Dave_C very closely, only the bottom I have enlarged a little and printed it out of TPU instead of PLA.

Update: Added a bigger antenna for more range and put the LC-filter ahead of the voltage regulator for a cleaner video signal. You can download the antenna mount on thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5216732

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