iFlight iH3 V2 Dual Split Mini 3 Inch FPV Frame for FPV Racing and Aerial Filming Carbon Fiber Drone Frame Mini Quadcopter

This frame is very nice to build in. Ample room for your FC, ESC, VTX, Cadd Turtle and receiver. The bottom plate carbon seems nice and solid, I have crashed it a ton now and no breaks into the bottom plate.Now, for the bad. The camera mount is way too flimsy and sticks out the front like a sore thumb. This is, of course, to keep the props out of the camera's view, but the issue is the strength of these plates. One small front end crash and the carbon camera mounts will flex and break your camera screw holes or the camera housing itself. I have already had to super glue my Caddx camera case multiple times because those carbon pieces just cannot handle a crash.They fixed the above issue in the version 2, as they placed a brace (a stand off) onto the bottom of the camera plates to keep them from flexing. This version is not available on Amazon and is only available through their site. I truly wish my version had this improvement, as I am about to pull this frame from my build because of this oversight.Next issue is placing a 900Mhz antenna onto this build. Because the arms are straight, without any angle, you cannot fit a 900Mhx (R9 or TBS) in between the arms. This leaves the mounting options for the antenna somewhat limited. If they would have included the TPU mount they provide with their pre-built kit with the frame, this $0.40 piece of TPU would fix the problem. This mount is also not available on Amazon, so you are stuck ordering from their site for $7.00 plus shipping and wait multiple weeks for it.I love iFlight products, but this frame was pushed to market a little too fast. I may check out the V2, when it shows up on Amazon, but for now I am on a hunt for a replacement frame to protect my Caddx a little better and provide better mounting for the antenna.If you don't rash much, then this frame does fly nicely, and is easy to build in, just be careful about running into trees!

I built this with Aokfly 1407s, matek f411 FC, and Spedix 20A using GF 3052. It absolutely rips (check out Bayou Aerospace on utube for the vids). Great little frame and the videos come out as good as they really can for a 12g HD camera (split mini v2). Great thinking by iFlight with the triple stack design, though why doesn't it come with flush screws if the top plate stack is designed for them? Good frame though, and it's 20g lighter than the premium counterpart (Acrobrat).The durability of this frame is questionable though. I've broken the bottom plate in a fairly light crash, and it really annoys me that spare parts are not available individually. Other than that I've really had a great time ripping this little thing. I put probably 20-30 batteries through it before I crashed and broke the bottom plate (into a tree btw, not concrete). Anyway it's cheap enough that I just bought another frame but again I really wish I could get just the bottom plates, as 9/10 times you break something it will be the bottom plate.iFlight can you make this exact frame but with removable arms???? This would be my ideal 3" HD micro frame if only repairs were cheaper and easier.

Update:Very first crash snapped the front left arm off, making this entire frame useless. If a quad frame has a single plate design, that plate better be durable. Not the case here... Fun while it lasted, but didn’t last long at all.Original review:Loving this frame so far. I like to push the limits with power to weight and chose this frame because it supports an onboard HD DVR like the caddx turtle. My complete build list:Iflight succex f4 2-6s 30a esc AIO stackCaddx turtle HD DVR v2Emax 2300kv 1408 motorsThis build cost less than 200 and is already my favorite to fly around. I can cruise around on a 4s battery or rip it like a 5” on 6s. I am still testing different props for the best feel overall, 4-blade props are great with these motors. Would like to see how fast it can go on a high-pitch 2-blade though.This frame is sturdy, easy to assemble and handles very well in the air. Can’t beat that price either.

I was messing testing an unstable setup and things went bad. This thing went like 100 feet in the air before free falling into the cement gravel. I had not taken any time to care or wire tie and secure anything. I had even forgotten to put in the screws to the micro camera in the front cabinet. The only thing I lost was an vtx antenna adapter and cracked the x60 adapter and destroying a battery. The frame and all the important crap inside was fine. I literally had the vtx held on by only some 3mm sticky pad and the transmitter was just stuffed in and had a wire tie. I bought this as a best value item that would be decent enough and not so expensive that i would care if it died. I'm now deciding to try out their 8 inch XL model. i think it looks ok but not gangster. simple to install. great for a first frame for when you figuring this stuff out. just don't go crazy cause you don't have all that much space. Don't expect a GPS and sonars and barometers and all that extra stuff. It flew well before plunging to the ground. Time for repairs.

I've really enjoyed this frame so far. I replaced my xjb145 frame with this and i like it way more. I now get to have a top mounted battery. The quad handles really well and there is TONS of space! I love the triple mount system. I now finally have enough room to get a decent receiver. I highly recommend this frame.

Pretty good little frame, I especially liked the double stack feature and how the design prevents props from being in view of the camera. Only downside is the frame has a weakpoint at the screw holes which allowed the frame to break across the arm at that point during a fall from about 10ft up and it landed on the arm tip. I liked the frame enough to purchase it again.

The finish of the carbon fiber is great and I like the design. The problem is that the hole placement for the motors are placed in a way that almost leaves no carbon to hold the motor on and creates a weak point.Broke two frames in the same spot now. Second frame broke on the first crash which was a fall out of a tree from about 20 feet onto grass.
