FPV Stryker

Posted on November 24, 2012 by Mark

Posted on January 26, 2012 by Mark

One of the big attractions of the new Blade mQX quadcopter, to me, was its potential to carry my little keychain cameras around. I’m using the crudest of mounts – a piece of 3M Heavy Duty Fastener (e.g. Velcro) stuck … Continue reading →
