Only thing I really knew I wanted to use was the Tokio X frame. As I was planning my build, the Emax Magnum AIO came up for sale on piroflip so I figured what the hell. While it was super easy to use, fitting it in to the pod was a little bit more challenging. It does require some careful planning while soldering the motor wires onto the 4 in 1 ESC but overall not THAT difficult. It's really a good value if you consider that for $110 you get an F4 FC, 4 in 1 ESC, XM+ receiver, and a VTX! All you have to do is connect the motors and an FPV camera and its done!
The Tokio X frame is such high quality, I can't recommend it enough. I'm guessing that those butter mounts (or clones of them) will start popping up in some other frames. The carbon is super clean with no rough edges and everything fit together perfectly.
Also, that monster V2 is wonderful. It's my first 16:9 camera and I could instantly tell the difference in my Aomway Commander goggles (I've only ever used a 4:3 image with them before this). The image is extremely clear and I don't notice any latency.

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..

Can you share a pic of how you have the cam mounted?
I am running the monster v2 on my tokio sx, and have had some trouble getting the camera mount to play nicely with the pod... Ive tried both the alu foxeer mount, and the TPU mount. The alu mount isnt tall enough, and the TPU mount doesnt play nicely with the pod. the pod actually pushes the mount so you get a bunch of extra uptilt once the pod is attached. Ive got mine set to minimum uptilt on the mount, but its still pointing up close to the top of the camera slot once i get the pod on.
I am also using the TPU mount. I put the mounting screw in the 2nd slot from the front and screwed it down nice and tight. Maybe try moving the mount back into one of the screw holes farther back if its pushing on it?
How do you like those Hyperlites?
this isnt my build, but i was running 2206 2522kv hyperlites on mine and they were super fast (and they are the best looking motors on the market imo). Unfortunately they got full of sand and the shaft screws were cemented in so the heads stripped on 2 of them when i tried to remove the bells to clean them.
I have since replaced them with the RMRC Rifles, which are also sick.
The hyperlite are really nice. I haven't had any issues with them after 15 to 20 packs on this quad. I haven't had any serious crashes with it yet, though.
