3D Printed Landing Gear and Camera Mount for my DJI F550
Several weeks ago I ordered a new Naza-M V2 for my DJI F550 Flame Wheel multicopter. I originally had the DJI Wookong-M controller but had to sell that. The Naza v2 has all of the stability of that more expensive model and works great. Another feature I wanted to add was a brushless stabilized camera […]
