I have the DC version of that. And I had to buy TPU inserts, put em into the mounts, which had to be turned inside out, and then make sure the cam wasn't touching the frame, in order to keep jitters out of the camera's gyro data. Otherwise - it's a great frame, as JB noted.

I bought this frame for my 8s build. The thing I dislike the most is having the connect at the back. Because of this I have to extend the capicator with a wire to the front, but this causes problems. The other way is to mount it at the arm, which looks ugly and is not well protected there. I should have bought a different frame.

Hey buddy, do you know these small screw sets with the small screw heads and screwer (don't know the exact word). Do you know why it's hard to apply much torque with these tools while screwing stuff in? It's so you don't strip it. You're using a power tool, for aluminium screws, relax, or set the torque to 1nm, and do the rest manually.

The torque on my driver is adjustable simply by twisting my wrist. It has a gyro in it. I am turning them in as gently as possible. They are not stripping because I have an electric driver.

Other than the pigeon-hole, that certain govt bodies are pushing us into, I am all about utility. I don't care if it's a pig with wings, and the whole damn battery was in frame… If somehow that made my craft fly better, that would be my ride! *edit> 190?? nope, not for me, For a durable frame, I might go up to around 170grams, but really, I'd rather build three, 80~ to 120grams frames, and break arms. Even if it takes me a whole season to afford all three quads. Once I have 'em built, I have the back-ups I need, to be able to fly beyond my limits, and it's usually just an arm that breaks anyway. More performance = more fun!
@Kai-P

It would be great if you could measure the frames and quads you get in a similar manner to make them comparable. Not sure which frame you mean with 110g, but from what I found the QAV-S Joshua Bardwell Special Edition is 107g WITHOUT battery pad, hardmounted XT60, chin guard, arm guard, antenna holders and stack screws. The rotor riot tanq which you quote as "only 180 grams" is 184.8g on your scale, without battery pad, XT60, chin guard, arm guard and stack screws. I don't think a manufacturer should be shamed for providing optional additional pieces.

Myself and other members of KwadKvlt have watched Josh Grau #GrauFPV bash the shit out of this frame to the point where half or better of the local members have swapped to it bc of its unbelievable durability. Yeah it’s heavy but if your flying concrete n steel like we do down here in Tennessee and you don’t want to come home with a broke quad every weekend this is worth your consideration. It’s high quality frame, with an excellent price point compared to other frames in this class. I believe it’s the only one cut from T-700 carbon and it also comes with all of the prints you need. Really hard to argue against this frame. I don’t own it personally but it is the #1 contender on my list when I break my current frame.

This new content is making me want to switch all of the gear from one of my drones to a new frame . 😛 Off topic tho I think it would be productive to use a drone to drop a 150 mm popper on breezing Bluefin Tuna from a distance but design a setup that can be used rapidly to deploy baits and lures for 25 rods , one right after the other . Currently some sportfishing charters use kites and balloons so bait placement is dictated by boat positioning and the wind . Its very productive for Bluefin Tuna ( 40 to 180 pounds ) in the proper situation and when nothing else is working. A drone can move at any angle across or against the wind so that bait placement can be dramatically improved and expedited. I've seen a few fishing assist drones online and are mostly used for surf casting long distances . Hovering over a drifting boat is probably challenging.
