I thought the X12 board was a potential cheat code for a 1-2S toothpick, until I read some warnings about trying to remove the motor plugs, thus the tangle of soldered-on pigtails. Heavier than it should be. Needs a better antenna setup; the location of the u.fl port--right up front under the camera plug-- makes it a challenge. Speaking of camera plug, I sure wish it didn't face outward. I also wish the USB port didn't face up (it's easiest to connect if you unplug the camera first). Maybe Happymodel should make something like this specifically for toothpick builders.

I only got it out for two packs before the snow started, but it was flying nicely with UAVTech's toothpick preset.

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