Backup 5" build. Main build is the chameleon but I found out having one 5" quad is never enough.
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..

Great build, was waiting fro one with this frame. Should weight around 100g right? How do you like this frame and how does it compare with the chameleon? Does it has enough space for a session and a 1500 lipo on top?
Yeah frame was 100 grams on the button with all the included hardware. This frame has less space length wise for a build however it has a bit more height wise over the chameleon. Both builds easily fit my vibration dampeners with CL racing F4, RX taped to FC and VTX zip-tied to the top plate.
It has enough space for a session, in fact there will be a 3D printed one in the works that screws and straps down. I'll be moving my VTX antenna but soon as I do the battery can be top mounted as well. Frame feels sturdy enough for the battery and gopro to be on top without issue.
Your iflight frame has an extra carbon fiber piece attached to the back with vtx antenna mounted. Where can I purchase that piece? That piece did not come with my frame.
thx,PR
Hey, I got that off a different frame actually. Came off an x-bee frame that I had crashed to bits. Not sure where you could get just that.
Dude, I love this frame. I have crashed this thing directly into 5 trees; nothing has broken....yet. No arms, mounts, nothing.
The frame itself weighs 110 grams. It does have enough space for a session, maybe a 1300 top-mount. If you mount the VTX behind the frame,
you may be able to get a 1500-1800 on top...
Currently, I have this as a bottom-mount battery setup.
This thing screams with the Tmotor F60 2400KV's....
