This is the build the o4 is made for.
super stealth and surprisingly acrobatic.
let's see how it goes!
this is a rehash of this build
will be using betafpv o4 canopy instead of the newbeedrone one. unfortunately not as good looking.
just finished buttoning it up. it gained 6g from it's analog sibling which isn't bad. Most of that may be the beefier motors and this massive vibration dampening canopy. I have plans to replace that though as per marblekit's recent video, it seems the camera may do much better hard mounted! Plus I want to replace the lens with a wider one as well.
meanwhile, let's see how things thing is going to fly as is first! maiden forthcoming.

AirbladeUAV has done it again and this time they've brought long range to the 5" class! Based on the popular Transformer Mini, the new Transformer 5" Ultralight adopts a lot of the same design philosophies with larger props and more payload capacity. It can fly upwards of 20 minutes on a 4 cell Li-Ion battery pack and in ideal conditions it's got a range of over 4 to 5 miles. In this guide I'll walk..

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..

It appears you've carefully planned this build! Excited to see how the O4 performs with the Betafpv canopy—performance Geometry Dash counts more than aesthetics. Glad to hear about the stealth and acrobatic improvements! 6g is fine for beefier motors. Looking forward to the maiden flight and how those upgrades effect the footage. Good luck and travel safely!
I did a very short maiden flight and the canopy is complete utter garbage. the isolators that supposed to reduce vibrations end up amplifying them and it's jello party! not even worth posting footage. I'm going to try a 3d printed canopy. it'll be lighter, tougher and less jello.
