I have moved the GPS off the arm and onto the top of the camera cage
This is the TopiriX frame from AerodyneRC. I always keep an eye out for unique frames and this one ticked all the right boxes. The camera position is amazing, it really gives the flight a "crisper" feel, I also like that depending on the angle of the camera, you can see where the sides of the quad are which makes it easier to judge gaps and distances. The frame is rock solid with the cnc body and solid unidirectional carbon fiber arms. super easy to take the frame apart and work on components. The KDE motors are by far the highest quality motors I've ever used. The power, smoothness and efficiency are unreal, I'm very impressed with KDE. I will continue to add to this as I fly this quad more. As of now I'm seriously floored with this thing.****

What a perfect frame with so nice thin and rounded arms to minimalize air resistance and you degrade it by GPS module, that is sin :) please put GPS on middle part of the frame or on top of camera!!!

Zakre256 Jun 04, 2019

you have a point! I believe I'll move it to the top of the camera. the middle part of the frame is too sexy to cover up! lol

this frame is so interesting and i love the use of alu for the arms, it looks really reassuring. ive been curious about that cam position, how would you say it feels 'crisper' or what oher differences are there to flight feel? im trying a similarish cam position in a frame soon to find out lol:

I feel like you have a better feel for your proximity to the surroundings of the quad. it makes turns and flips more precise I feel like. that frame is neat looking I bet that's light as hell.

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..

Build a DJI FPV Cinewhoop - QAV-CINE Freybott Edition

Mar 04, 2021

With the release of the DJI FPV Drone cinematic FPV has become a lot more accessible, but you certainly don't want to crash a $750 drone! 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..
