Marty has just spotted that fast lads are selling arm extenders for the dji and clone frames. I think these might be worth a go because i always thought the arms on the dji style frames were a little bit short and they';d fly better with an extra few cms.

Not cheap at £13 each though!

I';ve seen these before and wondered if mounting the front ones pointing outwards to the arms would position the rotors out of view of a fixed camera.

That';s a good idea hibbo.

It might do - but for the price you could probably just buy a new frame;

Blimey. That';s cheap. Can';t be right surely?? Having told my girlfriend I won';t be spending any more on my quad as I';ve pretty much got everything, I may struggle to sneak one of these through the door......:-(

Tried that one, and the ';didn';t you know I';d got that? one - but struggle to either keep a straight face or not look ';guilty'; , after nearly 40 years together she knows me too well

I may struggle as I work away and have my parcels delivered to her work. Doh. :-(
