Sony 1/3" 800TVL Camera Power LED Modification
Just about every board in the Blackout Mini H Quad has an LED to indicate it's powered up (ie; Naze32, Bluetooth, VTX), except the Sony 1/3" 800TVL Effio-V FPV camera.
After clipping a tree branch (which actually dislodged the FPV camera out...
This takes a look at the 3D printed Naze32 case from NextFPV.
They ask $14.95 + postage.

Home grown with our 3D printer, these little cases not only protect your Naze from "unscheduled" landings, also have a small piece of foam glued into the lid to cover the barometer, which...
Video Transmitter
VTX is a FT952 32 Channel 200mW 5.8 GHz unit. I have 4 of these now, and unlike other brands/models, they "just work".
Having the flexibility of operating well away from the crowded Fatshark channels (only 8, with 20 MHz spacing) is handy on the field with others.

Ended up getting a Taranis.
WKM FS simply enabled with a spare switch mapped to the U channel.
Ended up being much easier, once I had things in front of me to play with.
You've modelled this in eCalc?
Dual 4S batteries sounds heavy to begin with.
Will 10" props and those motors provide enough lift?
With my recent build, I use the F450 central boards, but I use the Aimdroix extended arms from ReadyMadeRC, which brings it out to 550 M-T-M.

This video takes a look at the $65/pair T-Motor carbon fiber propellers for their Navigator series motors, vs a $23/pair Gemfan "T-Style" knockoffs.
As always, you get what you pay for?
Appreciate the input.
You got me thinking!
Being a camera barge, I should take into account the widest angle of view (100° in this case), and avoiding legs.
Then there are no tears or regrets later!

Hi all
With installing a Wookong-M in mind, I am wondering which is the best way to orientate the Flamewheel F450 boards?
North-South or East-West configuration?
A picture is worth 1,000 words:
I intend to hang a mirrorless class camera beneath it, so the East-West favours that...
