Building a 5 inch using the Space One Frame
I bought the Space One frame while it was on "Sale" which seems to run constantly. $34.99 for a frame, I figured I'd give it a shot. Great looking frame and shipped in 3 days. All the edges of the 4mm baseplate have been sanded and rounded nicely.
The standoffs and screws provided also seem very high quality. I chose to go with a Custom 3D printed race pod rather than the standoff and top plate. I got 2 different pod versions so I can use a different camera if I want.

Wow, that's a cheap build.
It could have been even cheaper had I only gotten the bottom plate and used the 3D pods. Bottom plate alone is only $25 https://www.spaceonefpv.com/collections/parts/products/220-x-replacement-unibody-frame

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