I had to remove the middle rear standoffs of the frame to fit the VTX.
The 30x30 adapter can be mounted over the rear deck without any modifications, but I sanded the sides of the rear decks 20x20 mounting to be flush so I could shift the VTX further forward in order to prevent the pigtail from jamming into the VTX in a rear impact.

Flight weight is 652g with a speedy pizza 1200mah 6s.

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..
