360 aerial video from low-cost drone with auto-retracting landing gear

Check out this customized version of a Cheerson CX-20 drone with automatically retractable landing gear.


Martin Smith modified his Cheerson CX-20 by attaching a rubber-dampened mount for his Samsung Gear 360, then he added retractable landing gear so that the camera would have a clearer 360 view.

The landing gear was supplied by Eachine, while the modification to the open source controller software was by Bangs6996.  The landing gear automatically retracts when the drone takes off and deploys when the drone lands:

Here’s the video from this setup:

If you have any questions for Martin, please post them in the YouTube video’s comments.
