The landing gear consists of 16mm & 10mm diameter carbon fiber tubes with connectors that has been thickened and strengthened.

The platform board now has mounting holes for GPS & popular companion computers such as the Raspberry Pi 4 & Jetson Nano. There is an optional Depth Camera Mount (available separately) for various depth cameras such as the Intel RealSense series & Structure Core Depth Cameras. The spacing between the top and bottom carbon fiber plates has been increased to provide easier access. The adjustable battery mounting board has been enlarged to support bigger batteries for longer flight times. The rail mounting system is ready to take a whole host of camera mounts and gimbals for various applications. All tools for installation are provided in the package.
