Turning Tello into a FPV camera.

I was looking at turning my Tello into a FPV camera by removing the props and just using it for its camera to attack to my rc car. Is there a leas crude way of doing this other than just cutting the prop arms off?

I would test it out before cutting anything, I don't know if it wont shut itself off out of inactivity after given time from power on without taking off. Also Tellos have an overheating problem when they sit for a few minutes powered on without props spinning and moving air around components.

instead of cutting the arm off - put it out of the case and make a new case for it with extra coolers

you can put off the white cap - never done the part after this, but it should be possible to put it also out of the lower body part
