My first 2 DJI 04 "lite" builds were a 75mm 1S whoop and an 85mm 2S whoop. I decided to try open prop for the 85mm so I moved my components to a Bassline frame. Really loved it but wanted to make it more of a freestyle looking setup. Just finished my Baby Turtle. I cannot say enough how much I love the 04 "lite" air unit. I don't really fly my 6S 04 Pro 3" as much as I should :)

I can shave a few grams off of this but I will do that next weekend. I'm charging batteries to give it a rip. It currently weighs 47.4 grams.

Does the footage look ok with gyro flow?

I have since disassembled the Baby Turtle because honestly it did not meet the performance criteria I was looking for. It's gyro flow performance was usable. Not perfect. I moved the Baby Turtle's 04 air unit over to my JeNo Pocket build. The JeNo Pocket's performance is more in line with what I was seeking in a backyard freestyle quad. It is much closer in flight performance to a larger quad. The JeNO Pocket's gyro flow performance unfortunately is much worse than the Baby Turtle's and I cannot use stabilization with it at all. I have some things that I will be trying to fix this. It is surprising to me that the stabilization performance on my 75mm whoop 04 is very good and I can't get it smooth on these micros.

I didnt realise i commented on both your posts! Thanks for the reply. I have the same build as your pocket on an alfarc fi115 frame and also have issues with gyroflow, however the footage while flying is good and has no jello. I was thinking the jeno o4 camera mount would have solved this but seems like it hasnt for you.
