Having fallen in love with a new hobby after plenty of time playing with my first quadcopter I decided it was time for an upgrade. After some thought about what I’d like from this new quad I came up with some rough criteria.

Not pre-built

Able to carry a go pro

Eventually be able to add first person view functionality

Not cost a fortune!

Nothing too restrictive here. Basically I wanted something that would give me lots of chances to learn during this project while also being future proof. These are the parts I came up with (and their rounded current costs)

Parts

Total: £163

And here they all are with the frame already assembled.
