Foldable Quad designed for a GoPro

[Fredrik R]

Hi all!

Got bored of the 'small' DJI FlameWheel the other day. Even that small it take some space.
So I sat down and designed a foldable quad in 450 size. The goal was to place a GoPro in the front.

Here is the drawing:

And here is the result.

The folded size it 130mm wide and 330mm long.
Pretty fair to transport even in a bag.

Depends what size of prop you using. With 10" you can see little of the prop.

PM me about the cost if your interested.

Is there room for 'landing gear' or an FPV camera on the bottom side?

This frame looks almost identical (save for no tilt gimbal) to the Jago Heavy Lifter quad-
