Thanks for positive the comments. I've been out flying the Zeph today... It's like its on rails! The GoPro will be getting some form protection on the Disco soon, although the clear acrylic case is a bit bulky. I think the Layer Lens  http://www.fpvmanuals.com/layerlens/ (http://www.fpvmanuals.com/layerlens/) or something similar may be the way to go. The GoPro sits in a plywood box on the Zeph not sure how well it would fair in a total nose in though. Fingers crossed it will never happen.

If you dont mind hacking the waterproof casing and want to save a phew bob, try this:

Thanks for the link Malcr001 its not a bad idea. Unfortunately I use the lens protector from the case on the Zeph and also use the case on my snowboard so I'm still leaning toward the Layerlens option.

Here's the Zephyr setup.

Spookfish  I did not know about this layer lense looks a fair price and ideal if your go pro is already protected cheers for the linky :)

Love the Disco.
Did you paint the arms or are they not DJI ones?

Cheers for the comments guys. :thumbsup:

The Disco arms are genuine DJI items. I swapped the red and white ones out for the black ones for a more stealthy look. People have stopped saying it looks like I've made it from Lego now, which is an added bonus.
