Nice little mod. Silly question though. These things need two hands to fly right? What have you go the camera attached to to film it :) Some kind of camera hat?

Adding stuff!?!

I striped all mine down and took the bodies off... so they look like flying circuit boards

Yeah you need both hands, and camera was just mounted on the bill of my hat :)
