Hello and some cheap hacks for my DJI450

Just wanted to say hello to the community and post some of my customisations to the DJI450.

I have learnt as I have broken things.. so thought I would share how I try to solve small issues.

As I said, I have a DJI450. The first thing I noticed after adding a camera under the belly, was that it didnt sit very tall. There is very little to no space under the body.

So while at my local £1.20 store (I am in the Isle of Man, so they add 20p to have the items shipped over here) I noticed some bendy chord. You get 2 for £1.20.

So I built my first set of legs:

A closer look:

as you can see, they are a bit long and so I have folded them back while I work out the right length for height and strength. They are strong and have some bounce in them. They can also be folded away while they are in the car.

I have also added a small inclosure for my FPV camera. It came with a really long cable that Iwanted to roll up and keep out of the way. So after a quick trip to B&Q I found a little box that was perfect:

I used some of the extra leg material for seperation. The little box opens and closes so it is easy to take apart and service etc...

This is all noobie stuff i know.. but keeps it off the ground and protected.

Next I am going to experiment with the RX and also a GoPro gimble. So any tips would be great.

I am working towards having a sytem that is more modular. So if I want to fly FPV I just plug the parts on, if not, they should just come off. The same goes for the gimble etc..
