However the problem with aerial photography is, if you are looking for a decent setup that can shoot pictures that get you an instant Right Swipe on tinder, you need to cough out at least 2 month's salary (or maybe more), plus getting DJI stuff in India is another pain in the rear, specially the batteries. But then I got a chance to fly a DJI Phantom 3 and got hooked instantly, the locked-in feeling, the video quality, the point where you wanna go kinda flight dynamics was an instant catch, and I discovered a new hobby, Aerial Photography. so consequently I bought myself a whoop and went to town, however, I soon felt that the fast speed, low video quality setups that FPV guys use and absolutely love, isn't my cup of tea.somehow I was missing the relaxed no-nonsense flights of my Cessna. The recent developments in the quadcopter FPV scene was another driving factor. Now cutting the chase, and coming to the intended topic of this thread, as you guys know I've been a fixed-wing guy for quite a while now, but due to the absence of flying spaces in and around the city and the sheer lack of free time to travel 40kms outside the city to fly, I've been drawn towards multirotor. Am thankful to all the folks who kept checking on me to find out if am okay during my absence, am short of words to describe my gratitude. Looking forward to see what Robert comes up with here.Its been a while since I've shared anything with this community, apart from occasional transactions over on the sale threads. It’s for sure not nearly as pretty but has masses of flexible room for payload on the body rails, and you can stretch the body out as much as you need for extra payload. However, it’s quite heavy and doesn’t have huge room for dev frame linked above I built in similar fashion with slim ESCs in the arms and no wiring on show. It has retract landing gear and a neat canopy to put over the top, it really looks like a professional quad when completed with no wiring on show. I have one and it’s really nice and neat to integrate - the plates act as power distribution and you can hide slim ESCs in the arms. Take a look at the Tarot 650Sport (they may have upgraded/replaced it by now). ![]() I really want a seamlessly integrated frame/shell that doesn’t have wires and antennas hanging all over it with the extensibility of ardupilot. I love the integrated design of DJI products but want and need the flexibility of arducopter. I just bought a Phantom 4 Pro and own an Inspire 1 Pro and a Matrix G. I want to bring all of these things to the forefront so anyone who wants to build their own frame can have a bit of a head start. There are some techniques I’ve learned from others and from my own experiments that can reduce crash damage. There are certain guidelines that can produce a stiffer and lighter frame. Still, there are certain things that come into play with all frames. For some, an X frame will be best, for others, a hybrid H or some other shape will be best. ![]() I don’t believe there is a “perfect” frame. I have a number of posts in mind, all educational in nature. In my next couple of posts, I’m going to be comparing the torsional rigidity of an H4 Alien 680mm frame I recently purchased, with my previous X frame (roughly 620mm diagonal, so similar in size). There are basically only two real important features for a quad frame of a certain dimension class.
