This was the first quad I started learning to fly in Acro mode with (I was spoiled by DJI stuff when I started getting into flying) and it's seen some rather hard landings, buildings, chainlink fences, lot of upside down landings, and on and on.

Pretty happy with how she came out. Didn't spend a bunch of time on aesthetics for this one as it's the one I tend to drive into the ground frequently but she still looks ok.

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