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

Until recently GoPros were delegated to larger quads. A typical GoPro weighs around 125g and we've only recently begun to mount them on 3" cinewhoops. Even that is a stress on the motors. Now we've got the "GoPro Lite". Remove the battery, displays and casing and you're left with a small, lightweight board and sensor. Wrap it in protective TPU casing and you've got a 30g micro GoPro. The Hero6 is..

This guide will walk you through the process of building your first FPV quad. The goal with this design was to build a low-cost, lightweight quad, yet powerful enough to safely carry a GoPro in close proximity areas. I chose these parts to minimize the amount of soldering at no cost to the quality. A typical build requires around 30 solders while this only needs 25. It's not a huge difference, but..

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....
