Yeah, it's a clone. Problem ?

Talyst Machine: Blatant rip-off of a un-rip-off-able frame. It's pretty nice though (would recommend original). The arms are strong, construction is sturdy, and the build space is pretty amazing for how low it is!

Brotherhobby R6: Yeah they're shiny bois that's it. I like them, they spin well, they look bling and they show all the other quads how to look. Jokes aside, they're nice and powerful, and great for a heavy build.

Sharkbyte: Mentioned this previously, but heaps better than DJI for ease of setup, and miles away from them in terms of weight. The image is not as good, but in shadow excels... it's just that the sky ends up being really blue when flying.

Mamba F405 MK2: Buy it. It's good.

Haha, it's funny man. I usually kind of scoff at clones. But I realized something today, as I'm building my 6" Banggod. Catalyst machineworks is a great frame company, but they don't release any of their .STL files for printing parts. Not aftermarket option parts, and not stock replacement parts, nothing. But when there are clones, people design parts for them, and by golly they fit the original frame perfectly!! So when certain companies are a little annoying about prints, I'm ok with clones then.

Yeah I completely agree haha! Always handy to have someone who can give off stls; makes my job (and yours) a lot easier!
