KingKong Tiny 6X whoop – build it yourself (in progress)

LDARC (ex. Kingkong) has released Tiny 6X  as an updated version of the Tiny 6. The main difference was switching to more powerful 7×16mm motors. After making of the custom Tiny 6,  I’m excited to try to make my own custom Tiny 6X! Of course you can buy a pre-build bind and fly version of the Tiny 6X, but I want a whoop with an OSD and pre-build version doesn’t have it. Besides you will be missing the joy of doing it by yourself.

Socket orientation for soldering should be this way:

You should buy two sets (2 CW and 2 CCW rotation). 

Camera

We need a micro AIO camera with OSD support – camera should have Video Out and Video In wires. AKK BS2-OSD camera has the right pinout so it will fit perfectly.
