Tinyshark, no fin or canopy, though I might switch to a canopy later since it looks like it would hold the VTX antenna in a better place. Also need to find some better rubber bands.

I'll be replacing the shinehole camera. It is mounted perfectly straight, yet I can see the entire left front motor in my FPV feed and none of the front right. Something is screwed up in the optics. This makes flying gaps harder unless you consciously compensate. See the short video here.

Update: 1/16/18: Replaced Shinhole AIO camera with Senor Crazepony's VM275T clone. No issues with FPV image being off center. The epoxy holding the whole lens assembly over the sensor came somewhat loose in a crash and I was able to rotate it in 90 degree increments. The image never shifted, so it was some issue with the sensor itself, though I couldn't see any misalignment. I ended up spending more by trying to go cheaper.

Here's some footage with the new cam, and a little more stick time.

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..
