Those Yeti's... ALWAYS a looker!!
Cool build, of course, I like the esc covers.
I have thought about running a GPS antenna on the battery strap, but never committed. I always worry it won't be correctly calibrated after I unstrap and re-strap the battery, but I tell myself that I could just secure the battery strap and it should be plenty close for the calibration to be accurate. Please let me know how it performs, you would help my OCD :)

I have had several ships with the GPS on the battery strap. I have had no issues with calibration... the battery is unplugged when you undo the strap... and you are moving the drone around when it lands anyway, the gps doesn't know if its dangling on a strap or being shook around while you place the drone back on a good take-off spot. The only real issue I have had is it can get ripped off if you hit a tree branch, etc.

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..
