Hello everyone,

I am new to the RC scene and I'm looking to build my first quadcopter. I have been looking into my first build for a couple months now and have done a little research. But of course, I am here to find some more knowledgable recommendation and information.

Purpose: My purpose of having a quadcopter is to be able to mount my GoPro 3+ or 4 and have great stability for videos/photos. Decent or long battery life would be beneficial.

Like I mentioned, I am VERY NEW to building and I am still in the learning process. If anyone can suggest different products that will make this build better for the price, please post.

What
 
I got the talon v2 and had little intention of puting the gopro on it, but now that i want to, i will have to build a mount as there is no where to mount it.
 
Hi plushtalon ,tell me about it thats what i have but its now at 700mm, i used a plate from the x525 to give me some where to mount the PDB and receiver

Are those the extended arms hobbyking sells? And do you have any advice on how to get a gopro on the talon without mutilating it lol
 
Hi mate if it was me i would buy a carbon fibre sheet and long legs , use the sheet to make a bigger bottom then mount legs to this and camera .
Now also on E bay there is a seller that sells legs that have a gimbal mount mounted already and also has mounts for extra batteries
 
First version of my rotor. Talon v2 with plates from two kits to make a "tower" for my electronics. Multistar 40a esc, multistar 4010-580kv brushless with 15x7.5 prop, naza lite flight controller, 4s 10000mah battery. Average flight time in attitude/GPS mode (best for video) about 40min.

These will give you the extra room for a gopro gimble.
