The new redesigned 3D printed Hovership quadcopter have made great improvements from their last model! There are still some flaws but overall a great platform. It holds the new Gopro Hero 4 and other models from Gopro just fine and has ample room for FPV gear and/or larger batteries. I recommend buying the electronics/hardware kit from Hovership unless your local hobby shop sells the motors, ESCs, etc. because I found it was very hard to find the correct motor size and 6mm vibration dampeners at the hobby shop, they seem to only sell 8mm ones for gimbals or larger quads. I recommend buy a few more vibration dampeners because when you crash and don't secure them to the frame they will get lost. While you're at it might as well buy more propellers because the ones supplied in the kit are very fragile. For the un-supplied electronics I used the newest KK2.1.5 board from Hobbyking as the controller along with the orange receiver.Make sure to have turn down you expos in your transmitter settings, especially if you are new so the quad isn't as touchy (I recommend 60% expos then move up). I had a problem in the beginning with the quad flipping but I reset my KK2 board and calibrated it then it worked just fine.
Wonderful quadcopter!
