Virtue,
I've got to have about 6 knock-off cameras here. I finally gave up on them, bit the bullet and got a GoPro Hero 4 Session. I'll never look back, I've got 5 of them now. You might just have to bite the bullet too.

Virtue,
I'm only right because I made the wrong decision 6 or so other times! Live and Learn.
(EDIT: Also, get at least a 32gb SD Card, 64gb even better but 16gb is too small for my liking.)

Virtue,
This should work: Dquad Obsession GoPro Session Mount, 30 Deg
(I ordered a 5" frame today. Dang!)

Ok guys ...enough...
I have a serious question and you two are perfect for a good answer. What is your favorite frame where the battery is NOT HANGING off the bottom?
Thanks
Keith

The reason is i am sick of broken straps and power loss...rendering finding the darn thing a pain

Keith,
I don't really have a favorite in that realm yet. All I have is Frank v1 and Frank v2. It's an Arris 250B frame, v2 is heavily modified with my own homemade parts. I do really like flying v2 with the big 2200mah 3S batteries on his back! I'm not real hip on the low-slung batts either. I also break a lot of straps and I'm dinging up a few batteries now. I actually lost a $30 Turnigy Graphene 1300mah 4S yesterday. Strap broke at the buckle. Searched for over an hour before I gave up. I'm hoping that new Armatten frame is a winner.

Thanks guys,
It is a sweet bird. I have been flying every day on my property ...(LOW) under and between stuff. Its funny the better i get the more fun it is. The thing i like about the chameleon is it lands flat...doesn't tip or dig props . Oh I wanted to mention that I have first hand experience that the DALPROP 5051 is really great on the DIATONE ...GT200 flys like a locked in car at lower speeds. They really grab the air very very well. I have been using the DALPROP CYCLONE. Which is a really good prop. The props on quads are like tires on rc cars... look at what your going to run on (or) fly around and pick a prop for that type of (track)...
Do you guys understand the bull nose prop idea? Or do you have any thoughts on them..or opinion.
Thanks
Keith
