I'll put my first build up shortly and link it here or something but this is the rebuild, adding comments as and when I can on different parts:
It went smoothly, daisy chained both OSDs, added a mic, really pleased with how solid the XT60 feels, see pics for more details :)
So with the Matek PDB the solder pads sit right above the bottom plate where I like to mount my XT60 for strength, so close in fact there was no room to run a wire or anything, a piece of wire a few mm long sidways out of the XT60 ends up being one big solid lump of solder, you may be able to see it in the later pictures of the build, with a cable tie around it the PDB was still providing most of the support and would have probably been trashed if i'd had a bad crash so I tried a few alternatives and ended up with a coil of 12 gauge wire and two cable ties per side,
The PDB has it's own OSD and I also use the betaflight OSD as I've got a barometer and like to see my throttle position sometimes and plan on using the PID tuning options, my video seems to work quite well first going into the Metek, then into the FC then to the VTX so i'm very pleased with that! It also gets me around having to run (And overheat) the FC powering it directly from the battery to get voltage on the betaflight OSD
I noticed the build page here suggested pics of stacks are very useful, hopefully what i've got here is ok, I never really took a side on pic and I know have my twig proofing on so can't really show it (my last FC died when some sticks removed a few SMD components from the board!)
The action camera mount.... Definitely always buy an HS1177 style camera that'll fit your frame's mounts!!!! dear me!......... so after the bodge on my first build I ended up getting some bits of 2mm aluminum sheet and drilling it out and bending it to make the mount (it's held together with M2 nuts and bolts) it's really stable now but I think it weighs about 15g on it's own + 11g for the camera!
Oh with props on it's 360g (without battery or action camera)
out of interest, with the runcam3, 3d printed holder and the Turnigy Grapene 1500mah 4S All Up Weight is 660g!

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..

I have this frame and fpv camera. What did you use to mount it? I'm super unhappy with how mine is mounted.
Sorry, only just saw this, I ended up with a DIY bit of 2mm Aluminium witha hole in and a back plate bent to 20degrees
Recently got a 3d printer, there are a ton of mounts on Thingiverse, I designed my own but it's similar to those on there
