My first build with an official frame for the DJI FPV System. I like GEPRC frames, they are interesting and usually very nicely made, and this is no exception. The retrofitting of the Mark4 frame is quite well done, but by putting the Air Unit into the caboose, it makes finding a place for the XT60 pigtail difficult, and frankly annoying. The lack of strap slots is irksome too...
But once it was done, it makes for a slick looking build, well done GEPRC, and the geometry flies very nicely. Plus the lizard shape means that it's pretty much entirely prop-free views, so I am running it at 16:9 as a more cinematic machine.

What is the dry and AUW weight?
hey I just wanted to say thank you for the tpu parts you designed ..I also wanted to know what program did you use to make them ? I just got my mark4 hd5 frame and I also wanted to start making my own parts as well .where did you look foor guidance when were looking for your first 3d printer ? Thanks again for your time and effort !
I do (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCetujluq-BgBMkVuZFKWeYg/) but it's mostly a few random flight videos from the last several years; nothing very interesting or helpful I'm afraid
Hello, I have the xl5, but for dji I have to make it higher (I have seen your build) that you prefer xl5 or this geprc? Thank you very much
So I would actually go with this GEPRC MarkHD frame. It's a really nice frame, it's designed for the DJI gear, and you don't get any props in view (which you will with the XL5), and that in turn means you don't need to mount a GoPro for your HD footage; comes straight out of the Air Unit!
The XL5 might be slightly more acrobatic, but it's a minimal difference, and it requireas a lot more work to get everything to fit inside the frame.
So yes, I would start with the Mark4HD frame!
Hello! You use an original DJI air unit antenna? From the box? Elbow mmcx. Thx. Igor
FPV has had quite a journey. Just a few years ago we started racing drones around a track and doing flips over trees, but professional cinematic FPV is a more recent development. DJI has always owned the drone photography market, but smaller acrobatic drones are starting to enter the market. They have the advantage of close proximity flight indoors and around people. There's more artistic freedom and..
Read moreFor the longest time we've been limited to 3 to 4 minutes of flight and lots and lots of batteries. With more efficient motors and frame designs it's now possible to push the envelope much further. This guide will walk you through the process of building a micro long range quad capable of flying 8-30 minutes and more than 4km. The build is moderately difficult, but with the right tools and steady hands..

How do you like the frame?
It's good, nearly excellent. Top quality carbon and hardware, good geometry, flies fast, quick and stable. And you really can't see the props, even in 16:9 mode. But the pigtail placement was tricky, and that knocks off a few points, but other than that, this is really nice. And, most importantly, it flies really well!
its true, the frame has a very tight spot for you pigtail, capacitor or any wires that wanna pass.i did my pigtail sideways and wired my capacitor to the front behind the camera. otherwise a great frame
