Rotated Martian 3 frame to a stretch configuration.
Using up some old parts. Should be 5s capable. Really like building with the Matek VTX and micro swift.

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..

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..

where can I get the top plate?
nvm i found it
Is that plate still available by itself? I've been looking, but no luck.
It was part of the Martian III kits. I think it was a battery protection plate or something. If you need any parts I have two 6" and 1 4" kit I could sell. I'm putting all that gear on 5" now.
I did have to cut out a section for the camera to see out of the top as you can probably tell.
They're intended as battery mounting plates for under-mount battery - I was just wondering if somebody found a place to source just that plate (so I could do the same mods).
I've been trying to find an optimal way to repurpose MartianIII kits myself, but I guess I'll be making Shrike style stack/camera setups.
You could possibly use these as top plates. Double up if you want more strength.

Those feel a bit fragile (but I do have spares).
I'll give these a try too - https://armattanproductions.com/pages/product_details/6896 from the Icelus SSM Kit
