That thing looks excellent. The staggered design makes sense as a compromise to the siccario and a flat design. One thing I'd point out is that while small footprint improves yaw, wider stances improve pitch and roll. This is why so many like the wide X 5" platform. A 6" size true X is best with 5" props. That being said, short arms are best here for resonance sake and weight. Also as you said, weight distribution on these platforms is absolutely critical and that battery position with where the props are situated is excellent Overall you've put a fantastic amount of thought into this.
Thanks Bob! Good point about the pitch/roll stability. I do notice that it does take some high P gains to arrest the drone's momentum when doing a snap flip or roll. I'd say the quick yaw spins are more common in the cinema space though luckily in part because of JohnnyFPV's style that he created. Having larger spaced arms even a couple cm or so really affects the vibration characteristics and requires more beefing up on the carbon.
Drone fpv racer in france would be the first guys that come to my mind . They have a history of stocking cutting edge boutique product and the electronics to match. Look em up i think you guys would be a match.
What an amazing work. If cinelifting wasn’t my goal of 2023, I would buy it right away :) Look foreward to see your futurs improvements with this frame !
Nice bird. One thing i didnt like is how you grounded the frame using the air unit antennas. Had a frame giving me voltage once, around 3-5v and it turned out it was the esc mounting wholes that had voltage. It was leaking through the gummies and into the frame. They were the tmotor pacer 60 amp 4in1 escs so in your frames case that voltage would have been grounded causing a current leakage and who knows what other issues to come with it.
Thanks! I didn't realize current leakage could happen with the ESCs. It is a poor ESC design if the mounting holes are plated and grounded. I don't believe most are like that. Regarding the antennas: La Mamba frame does not ground the VTx antennas. If you see this part of my frame assembly video: ruclips.net/video/SEeDjLkcMsY/видео.html I show how there are 3D printed shoulder washers that electrically isolate the antenna ground away from the frame. Also I recommend putting down electrical tape onto the carbon before installing the air unit and TPU saddle strap: ruclips.net/video/SEeDjLkcMsY/видео.html
Great frame design I’m sure like all your other work ,that everything was tested and really ready to rip the sky Keep up! And if you are board by any chance (; Bring and design the best 5-5.5 cinematic freestyle frame our community have ever seen (;
Wow!!! This frame looks amazing, hoping you'll eventually offer a BNF version for those of us who don't trust themselves with such a big/expensive build!
@@strawhatsam Wow thanks for answer! So where is a limit for max payload weight that You recommend? Do You mount dji rs2 on an angled camera plate ?Or some adapter?
@@jurgieldetka5469 i believe he used the rs2 mount that I sell on my website. Komodo with light lens is okay, not sure about dji transmission on the gimbal too...
@@jurgieldetka5469 I would say the maximum weight is 6lbs. It depends on the motors used too. 3115 1050kV motors with HQ 9x5x3 props is going to lift a lot more than with 2812 900kV motors with Gemfan 9045 props for instance. So perhaps a range of 5-7lbs flyable I would say.
This build is crazy I’m not even anywhere near needing a rig like that yet but this thing purpose built!

Ok I love the quick release plate. Well done!
really impressive Sam! we need you to setup a EU warehouse, otherwise VAT and shipping costs will kill us!

@@markoliovic7519totally agree! Sam you should really consider distributing your frames and kits via Drone fpv Racer
This looks like and excellent frame . Nice design 👌

As always so clever details.
This is such an well thought out design! Quality as always Sam!
This is mind blowing sam!! Now we need some footage and build details!
Just made those videos public. Enjoy!
@@strawhatsam nowww!! Thanks and keep inspiring us :)
Nice job sam!!! Love the adjustable batteries and camera!!
Wow, amazing design, hope it perform as good as it looks.
Always absolut amazing work 🙌🏻
Great design Sam
nice work
finally :D thats what i was waiting for sam!!!!
Amazing

can i strap dji rs2 with camera on top of it ? will it be able to fly any more ?
Yes you sure can! @magfly_fpv has done it before.
