Buildlog for the DIY Foldable GoPro Drone
The goal was to build action camera drone with the following characteristics:
1. Portable
2. Foldable
3. Autopilot - Follow Me, Missions planning, autonomous flight
4. Capable to carry GoPro / SJCAM SJ-4000
5. Modular design and easy operation
6. Option for manual control
7. Phone controllable (Android/IOS)
The perfect frame for this seem to be the new HobbyKing Quanum Trifecta foldable tricopter frame:
Quanum Trifecta Mini Foldable Tricopter Frame (KIT)
Paired with the HKPilot Mega Micro complete set:
Micro HKPilot Mega Master Set With OSD, GPS, Telemetry Radio, PDB/BEC/Power Sensor (433Mhz) (APM)

The GPS module is not direct so i had to cut a piece of 2mm soft plastic.
First, cut 25mm square hole for the GPS body, then cut outside and drill holes for mounting:
