This is not a sponsored review, I purchased this with my own money and I wanted to share some thoughts on the frame.
TL;DR - Overall strong frame, good arm system, good bottom plate system, camera cage seems strong and its a big enough space to fit most stacks.
The caveats would be the back area and the original VTX mounting solution. Watch for more details.
Thank you for the heads-up. I love the frame design and I'll be checking out your thingyverse for those prints. Subbed.
I think you just saved me from buyers remorse. Thank you
Just the video I’ve been looking for on this frame! Thank you for making this and for sharing your experience with it. Looking to try something other than the apex and it was between this or the siren by quadmula. I think I’ll give the punch a try!
Even with the caveats, I love the frame. I've been flying it as my main rig since I got it with minimal issues after I designed some prints for it. If you run an O3 check out this reel on insta: instagram.com/p/C3QPNEmre1R/
going to try this thing in deadcat configuration with the squished x in the front and true x in the back. we will see how this works haha.
Haha, howed it turn out?
@@DanoFPV hasn't yet. Finally got the vtx. Been working a bunch so haven't had time to get it together yet. Soon though hopefully.
@@DanoFPV flies well. So far. Still need to take it to more space to adjust a bunch of stuff but it flies well
Just found this AFTER I purchased the frame and by chance the exact same stack, although I fly Walksnail and T-Motor F60. Did you hard-mount the ESC directly on the thread inserts or did you suspend it a little ? I see you cut the Axis stack screws to size just as I did. I actually find it very hard to mount the stack in a way that I still have enough space for the LiPo strap because I use T-Motor lipo straps with silicone lining. I just finished a TPU plug for the top deck that double-acts as a stress relief and will actually protect the 12AWG wiring from getting destroyed by the lipo in a frontal impact. I will now design a combined GPS and LIDAR mount for the rear end as I will fly this on INAV. The mount they provide for the MATEK M10 is a joke, it even protudes behind the motors and gives zero protection for the ceramic antenna body. And I will also fly it in a hybrid config, squished in front and trueX in the back as I do not fly with a GoPro. The stock VTx mount is okay for me, but I don't fly bandos, so my opinion does not count. Torx is very okay for me, as I live in Germany, but the actual screws and the tool they provide seem to be below average standard even though they claim quality name brand hardened stuff. Maybe they got ripped off in purchasing. Overall I like the frame, but I feel they stopped the design at about 90% finished. I sweared a lot building it. Let's see how it behaves in the air
Great review!
Thank you!
