The Calimero HD is a fully 3D printed frame I designed to fit a Caddx Turtle V2 on a tootpick style platform.
Of course there is additional weight compared to a regular toothpick style setup (around 12g).
To compensate this I use lighter 300mah Turnigy Nano Lipos (16.6g) instead of e.g. Tattu 450mah (29.6g).
The AUW stays pretty much the same (76g) and although I lost some flight time the quad still has most of those great flight characteristics of a regular.
toothpick. Check the video in the comments. That tiny thing moves! :-D

So I'm looking on the thigiverse page and I had a couple questions(I'm reletively new to the hobby). Is the conopy only usefull for the turtle b2 or could I use it with the Cadx Turbo EOS2? If I go with that camera it would remove maybe 2mm from the internal stack. Would the canopy just sink down and take up the room? Looking forward to building this thing, thanks for the great work.
Yes 7500kV on a 2S is perfect. Kabab recommends 450mah but I personally think they feel a bit heavy in the air. So 350 is the best IMO. Jup, the nano sits just simply in the canopy. Also get an external Receiver and not the board with the integrated one. It fits nicely under the board in the frame.
Oh and by the way make sure to use the right version of the frame. You need the "Calimero" not the "Calimero HD". Check my youtube video on the frame for some more details :-)
I built your Gate Hunter frame, and this Calimero. Both amazing. The Calimero just needs some beefing up where the cutout for the sd card is. There is substantially more flex on those 2 arms than the other. Mine flies great regardless though. I can't wait for Version 2 of this frame, the engineering/design is top notch.
Thanks! I know that SD-Card slot was super annoying to integrate into the design. Its the whole reason I had to re-design the Microblivion and use the double arms. Regular arms would be in the way. I have a 3" Version for 1404 / 1304 motors coming soon to fit the new 12A 4S GEPRC Whoop board. Should be a beast on 3S 6000kV with light 3025 bi-blades
AirbladeUAV has done it again and this time they've brought long range to the 5" class! Based on the popular Transformer Mini, the new Transformer 5" Ultralight adopts a lot of the same design philosophies with larger props and more payload capacity. It can fly upwards of 20 minutes on a 4 cell Li-Ion battery pack and in ideal conditions it's got a range of over 4 to 5 miles. In this guide I'll walk..

The QAV-CINE Freybott is a compact, lightweight cinematic FPV drone that can take a hit and keep going. It's a lot safer to fly indoors and around people. With a naked GoPro or the SMO 4k you can capture some great stabilized footage. In this guide I'll show you..
