This is my second ever drone build after my first budget build only had 5 flights before I fried the board due to bad soldering. I have had a couple pre-built quads and the one I found to enjoy the most was my pre built Chameleon with Oomph motors.

Because of that I decided to build a Chameleon from the ground up using their new Velvet motors, this time taking much more care into the soldering and overall look. For my 2nd build, I think I did pretty good.

Maiden Flight + testing our my first race gate.

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