FPV Drone Frame X4/X5/X6/X7 200/230/260/300mm Drone Quadcopter Racing Frame, Carbon Fiber, X Structure (X5 230mm)

I PURCHASED THIS FRAME FOR THE PRICE POINT AND LOOKS ! i AM INSTALLING A CL RACING F4S AND INDIVIDUAL ESC'S . THE F4S IS 30.5 MM MOUNTING AND FITS VERY NICELY WITH ROOM TO SPARE. THE CAMERA BAY IS 28MM WIDE FOR LARGE CAMERA SUCH AS THE FOXEER . THE ONLY SHORT COMING OF THIS FRAME IS THAT THERE IS NO DEDICATED HOLE FOR MOUNTING THE VTX ANTENNA OR ANTENNA LEAD OUT ANYWHERE ON THE FRAME. I WILL DEVISE A METHOD TO MOUNT ANTENNA OR LEAD OUT AND SUCCEED WITH BUILDING AND FLYING THIS FRAME. OVERALL THERE IS PLENTY OF ROOM FOR ALL ELECTRONICS !

Alright, built this frame and flew it all day...here's my appraisal after about 26 packs:The Good: It looks really cool. The underbody design keeps the center of gravity closer to the center of the drone, and the FC. There are benefits to this, though minor. The props up top mean when you start to eat grass it just gets slung harmlessly at your battery and gopro instead of jamming a bunch of grass poo into your stack and FPV camera. The camera is well protected but my setup still has some of the frame in...frame (this is because I am using a 19mm camera and a 3D printed adapter). It's more rugged than I expected. Took a couple tumbles and one drop through a 30-foot tree that broke the battery strap and threw the battery, but the frame doesn't have a scratch.The Bad: I think they intend for a side-mounted battery connector but I couldn't make this work with my leads in a way that felt safe from the props, (also turning your ESC sideways means re-mapping the motor channels). This means I had to route my leads between the receiver and VTX...not elegant but it works.The Ugly: The body is fairly low profile and limits your stack options since you're forced into M3 studs. I was unable to find a good way to actually soft mount my board. The o-rings do not provide much damping and this frame makes my FC work harder to keep the drone under control. I have some jitters with this frame I didn't have with my previous frame.Overall, the lack of damping means this frame basically CAN'T have smooth flight characteristics. I've tuned out the worst of it but other frames fly much more smoothly, and without heating up my motors.

All and all this is a good little frame and would deserve a full 5 stars but I am thinking this was a late Friday assembly for the box of parts. There were a few screws missing 2 missing standoffs one for fpv camera and one for the body and 2 of the body standoffs have no threads in then to hold screws. I have built a number of quads and this stuff happens from time to time but still annoying when it does. Screws I have in plenty standoffs not so much and not in the proper color if that matters. But I ammsume this is a fluke and the frame is nice and thick and should resist some serious crashes real good for first time builders. I like to build then and give then away to local schools and stuff for teaching purposes. One of my local schools does a photography class and I give then to them for teaching an entire new way of photography that most kids don't get to experience and what the heck may get a few more kids into the hobby. Also I give 1 built and a bunch of u built kits to technologies classes for then to build and fly and keep.

Love the low profile belly. It looks solid. I just built it. I like that i can hide the capasitors under the arm away from the prop. I also like the protection of the camera. I have yet to fly it but i will come back to write about the flight and im sure a couple crashes. Ill let y'all know how it does.Update: wow! Love this frame. It's sick. Durable in crashes.... Rolled it down pavement due to ghost branches. I recommend getting one if your looking at 7" quads. About to mount gps on it and go long range as well.

This frame is great, I got the 7" version n been flying mostly with 5" and 6" props and it flys amazing on stock b\f 4.1 pids. Waiting for a restock so I can buy more!?!?!! Also if had some dang hard smacks into trees and more and the thing is still holding up, with the crashes I had and how long the arms are I wouldn't even be mad if one broke. Thing is sturdy! Restock soon please!?

Great frame no complaints at all. Very solid I’d buy it again based on putting it together. Goes together good and it’s very stiff. She’s gonna be a ripper!!!!

Love this company's frames have bought quite a few and will keep running them highly recommend for the price you can not find another like them. Ok the x5 is nice but bought an x7 and talk about jello think the arms are too small and the vibrations are way to much. I wouldn't suggest it might cut the arms down and make it a 6 in or throw my spare 5 in arms on it and abandon the 7 in

Ok frame, disappointing low quality plastic studs for fc/ecs and O rings instead of grommets. Won't buy again. (X4 frame)
