The  motor booms fold up to make it smaller to transport.

The gimbal camera mount on the front made from heat bent acrylic bolted onto the motors.

The motors are just bolted straight onto the booms. The zip tie landing gear were held on with little zip ties threaded through holes in the large end of the zip tie.

The Video Tx and GPS Mount made from a foam tube for lightness and flexibility in a crash.

The Martinez V3 gimbal controller zip tied onto the base.

The booms folded up. The foam strip underneath is to mount the battery against with the orange and black strap. As with everything else, loads of little red zip ties hold it all together.

Ready for Action!
