Really liked the look of this frame throughout development, seemed like a good no-nonsense, top-mount-battery freestyle frame.
Unfortunately I didn't compare the dimensions of the Asgard32 against the original Asgard - the frame was designed to accommodate the original but the new version is even bigger so I had to put it sideways which made the whole thing a lot less clean than it should've been, required extending the motor wires, makes the USB socket inaccessible, etc. :(
I think I'll go for a 20x20 stack in my second Flowride frame, whenever I decide to build that one up.

Nice build man! I've been considering a flowride build, any reccomendations?
I would recommend NOT using the Asgard32, because even though Kabab did a bunch of super neat looking builds with the original Asgard/Kamikaze the new Asgard32 doesn't fit lengthways.
Only other thing to mention is if you're going to use the SMA mount on the bottom plate remember you'll need a suitable right-angle SMA pigtail.
The 3D printed micro cam mounts are great, I got a bunch more printed to use on other builds.
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..

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..

What is the black stuff you used on your ESC solder joints?
PlastiDip. Like using conformal, but provides more strain relief & is easily removable.
You just brush it on? Thanks!
Yup!
