I have build a 5 incher and a 6 incher and love them. This is one of the few frames, where you can mount a GPS module on the top back, and still be able to top mount a normal sized 1500mah lipo between the GoPro mount and the GPS module.

very cool, I can definately see that happening as the body is pretty large for a 5 inch. Thanks for the info!

Nice review buddy, another great frame from GEPRC that's why almost all my frames are GEP they make them to last. You said you don't remember why a bit of give is a good thing, it's the car bumper effect, so the shock wave from a hard it is absorbed

cool looking frame, tanks for the video Max!

One of my favorite frames. I’ve been using this and the dji version since Nov and it’s been durable. So far the top sandwich plate that holds the arms cracked on mine recently. Quick and easy swap. I don’t have to mess with the stack. Lots of room for electronics because of the arm design.

What do you mean when you say you dont "like the H-ness, the ratio". Are you talking about the distance between the motors? You want to have a longer distance between motors left and motors right?

@MaxBeamer

3 жыл бұрын

yes I like the motors on the roll axis to be further apart than on the pitch axis for more stability on roll (which this frame does) I just prefer a "wide x" instead of a "wide H" motor layout as the wide x has a bit more symmetry following the arms diagonally.

I havnt found a clear answer to this. new to the hobby. The AstroX Johnny frame is more of a 4s frame I think🤔 Its also 145g. You seem to love the Apex. Is that the most juicy for 6s? I really liked your prop video! It helped me understand the differences between the props. Great point about the width of the propeller which nobody talks about. I ordered the WinDancer (and Ethix Lemon Lime, just to see the difference).

Nice frame I wonder how easy the arms snap. And for some reason "budget frame" to me seems like it should be $20-25. Someone should make frames that don't come with the 3d printed parts, but give you .STL files etc. RDQ Source one is an actual budget basher. Thanks for vids.

@MaxBeamer

3 жыл бұрын

thx for the comment, I guess the term budget is relative but imo anything under 30 bucks is in the desperation category haha. you'll get a frame that consists of the bare minimum quality and parts requirements to get something in the air.

@@MaxBeamer Well I actually do own one of the 'desperation' RDQ/TBS Source One frames. It's a great frame for the < $30 price. I just 3D printed some nice DJI parts for it and I'm switching it over. It's a good 5mm frame with beefy arms and the replacement parts are dirt cheap. So I think it's perfect for beating on in a concrete environment. Inexpensive doesn't always mean cheap and if you think of the material costs it's a fair price with a small margin. I think $100-150 frames are a waste of money I'd rather spend on motors etc. But that's just me. The $55 for this frame is fair but those thin arms worry me. But like you, I enjoy a lightweight rig. I'm really surprised by the weight of some people's drones. I get 8-11.5(!) mins cruising and a solid 6-7 doing hard freestyle with my lighter drones . My friends heavy drones feel like a brick and get 4-4:30 flights. But now I'm putting air units in mine, we shall see...

well I don't think they were shooting for the MOST durable frame when designing this but I must say it's probably as durable as 85% of the frames out there and even more durable than the ones i've seen in the same weight class. Of course that could all change when flying it into concrete at 70mph i'm just taking an educated guess lol
