The problem with them is that at a critical point in the legs, there is a slot cut in for what I assume is for routing wires. This makes them extremely weak where they need to be stronger.
The first 2 flights, one broke. A splint was rigged but it and another leg broke, and there were no crashes or even moderately hard landings.
I opted for a far better configuration. It involved removing the tubes and replacing them with the larger ones that come with the kit. The up side is that it provides a lot more clearance, is many orders of magnitude stronger and more resilient.
It also allowed for the 2 cameras to be mounted far enough ahead that they are between the front motors.
The battery was moved further back to ensure good balance. A keen eye might notice the foam between the battery and the plate. It is to prevent the bolts from digging into the battery and damaging it.
