    I have the ZMO from OMP Hobby, it has the DJI Air unit mounted in it. The ZMO is at the same price point as this one, but functions a lot better. I too have the Caddx Peanut mounted in the nose and it takes great footage, just run it thru gyroflow to stabilize and it turns out great.

      Weight would max out with about 9 or so 18650 lithium ion battery cells at about 50grams each. So depends on how far you'd need to fly with the added weight 🍻

    Hi all! Be more attentive to the message where scammers write on behalf of the author of the channel on this and other channels and report that you have won something. Then they inform you that you need to choose the method of delivery of the prize and the need to pay for the delivery, if using PayPal, then they will definitely ask you to make a money transfer as a "friend or family" so that you can not return your money later. They send you a parcel number tracker and a fake carrier, and ask you to urgently pay the fee for your parcel to a fake carrier company, and again ask you to send money as a "friend or family." Be careful!

    Great video as always. Just curious if mounting the 360 cam changes the center of gravity very much. In the VTOL mode, it is probably in the right place, but in airplane mode, the camera is far forward. I wonder if you counter that with equal weight on the tail if it will fly more efficiently if re-balanced.
