This is the maiden flight experience for my recently completed Volantex Ranger 2000 build. Things could have gone better, but we all walked away with all of our fingers and toes!
My custom Ranger 2000 parts:

bonafidepirate's Pan/Tilt mount for the RunCam Hybrid 4K:

(I did a 'remix' of the above by adding a part to hold the tilt servo, see my custom parts)
See bonafidepirate's Jx Servo mod video:
• Modding the JX 9180MG ...
I took photos and videos of my servo modification process, but I have lost that directory! If I find it, I will make my own video of the experience. I have four more servo's to mod, so I'll record that processes someday. It is not for the faint of heart! Make sure you follow Keith's recommendation and use 1/8 watt resistors and cover them with heat shrink. Have some 30AWG silicone coated wire ready to replace the existing wire in the servo.
