This is my second build, this time for a friend. It's meant to be a cheap build around a frame picked by my friend.
Pre-build thoughts:
I wanted to try and use a 4-in-1 ESC for the first time as well as using betaflight instead of cleanflight (hence also the choice of flight controller). This FC has OSD and PDB build-in, hence no need for those parts which I thought was a good idea given the small frame. I have seen that it can be a bit tricky to wire a 4-in-1 ESC to the betaflight F3 but I suppose that's just another challenge... Anyway, if anyone has any comments on the parts below then please let me know!
Post-build thoughts
The build was quite tight. Having the FC above the 4-in-1 ESC leaves you about 1 cm free space underneath the frame. This was more than enough to fit the small FrSky XM+ receiver and the VTX

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