First FPV drone! Wizard x220 ARF with stock electronics and a bunch of little mods to make it custom! I use a file and sand paper to smooth and round edges then I painted them with a good oil based Electric Blue paint pen, also move the arms to above bottom plate to lower COG. I really have had a good couple months with THE WIZ learning the basics and getting better every time out! I made a little screen for each side to cover electronics since side plates don't fit after I moved arms! Going to rebuild with new electronics soon!

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