The GoPro Camera mount is to long for the standard Landing Gear on the 3DR Quad ...So after some look around I decided on these (ALware 3D Elastic Landing Gear) from Flying Hobby .
oh ..I got it on a special for $12...Delivery was VERY Quick which in itself is strange as they used my Billing address and not my Shipping address ...It is a wonder it did arrive here , say a lot of the South African Post Office ...yeah well done guys !Package it self was normal A5 size with bubble wrap inside ..
Assembly of the Legs are very straight forward ...Just follow the manual that you can get online ...I had to drill two holes into the legs , basically used original legs to get holes in the right place ...Also painted front legs to keep it the same with the Blue tubes ....I moved both legs to the back of the Aluminum tube , hoping the GoPro wont pick it up,If it work's? ...Well , will see later ...Mount for GoPr just loosely pressed in to see clearance ....All in All , I like the legs ..they make the Quad look mean :~) , and yeah they do have pointy ends , but fortunately for me I can land properly ...ALWARE Supper Elastic Landing Gear is a brand new design product used for original main frame of GAUI 330X/S.
