New frame I'm very excited to try out. This is my 3rd build. Not gonna lie the frame was a lot different than I'm used to. I ended up not using some of the parts included: like the square carbon fiber protector (which I think is supposed to protect some of the wires? I couldn't fit it around my pigtail) and 3d printed motor soft mounts (didn't have screws the right size make these work. The dys f4 has built in soft mounts anyways) and also I ended up going with shorter stand offs since I'm using a micro camera. If I swap to a bigger camera I will definitely need to use the included standoffs. It was a welcome challenge to build this frame out and I'm very happy with the finished product. After adding kydex (the black plastic i have taped to the arms) the dry weight is 244g.

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