I finally finished rebuilding my Blackout Mini H Quad and did several upgrades along the way.
First thing to do was strip everything off down to the pololu regulator install the "Fearless" arms and resolder the battery connector.

Build Recap

I received this frame as the grand prize for winning the Aerial GP open-class race with the GoodLuckBuy Hexacopter in my previous blog post. Unfortunately, I don't have many pictures of the build process as I built this late one night (which is why the pictures are kinda dark too).
The camera plate on top was missing when I received it (normally includes one) so I took some scrap kydex and made one to fit perfectly with the mobius camera.

Note: This is a recap of my experience as documented in this thread on FliteTest
When I first started building multi-rotors about a year ago, a guy showed up at the local field flying one of these frames with a pixhawk clone. I had my eyes set on the original Blackout Mini Hex but decided to purchase this frame instead since it was less than half the cost.
Unfortunately, there are some weak points in the design and general overall lower quality versus the 'original' but it is still a cheap alternative. It would serve well as a small aerial filming rig to carry a GoPro but I would not recommend it for any kind of aggressive flying or racing.
The first thing I did was swap out the cheap blue rubber dampeners with some black ones I got from HK.
