{"product_id":"fpvcycle-8mm-glide-frame-kit","title":"FPVCycle 8mm Glide Frame Kit","description":"This frame has\u003cstrong\u003e 8mm thick arms\u003c\/strong\u003e that are set inside the body and brace the entire fuselage. It is incredibly rigid yet still only \u003cstrong\u003eweighs ~115g\u003c\/strong\u003e built.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThere are tens of thousands of Glides out there. Its formula is extremely tried and true at this point. It has been extremely difficult to improve on the Glide in any meaningful way but this is finally a genuine step forward. While the 8mm Glide shares the same name, the electronic layout is really the only aspect that it shares with the regular Glide. The rest of its design elements come from our other designs through the years.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis frame was inspired by \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@CiottiFPV\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eAhren Ciotti (CiottiFPV)\u003c\/a\u003e because he has a knack for destroying absolutely everything. The idea was to use the much thicker and stronger arms to secure the entire fuselage structure by moving the arms inside the body and extending a leg to hold the next set of standoffs. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@ChrisRosser\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eChirs Rosser’s\u003c\/a\u003e λ (lambda) arm design was a shoe in here because it was the obvious way to extend that leg to the next standoff. Chris wasn’t the first to use the λ arm design but he did demonstrate its torsional superiority. That being said, it’s not as simple as just making that shape, full computational analysis is required to achieve the sought after performance because it must be designed as a unified structure. We don’t guarantee that you won’t have vibrations, but the first computational node on this structure is so high that it would seem impossible for the frame to resonate and exasperate any vibrations.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe weight distribution of how the GoPro and battery sits are completely optimized for the wide X layout. We went with wide X because it’s the only reasonable way to get props out of the view of the GoPro without ruining the weight distribution. This is a significant factor.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpare parts will be available soon\u003c\/strong\u003e however it’s unlikely you’ll need any spare arms. Computer analysis says the top plate will be the first part to crack which is great because that part is cheap and easy to replace.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGood quality drivers or otherwise drivers that will not strip or deform such as those \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.miponline.com\/MIP-Hex-Drivers-Metric-SAE\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003emade by MIP\u003c\/a\u003e are always STRONGLY encouraged. The frame is not chamfered because it adds so much to the cost. Hit it with a little sand paper and make it yours if you like.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eGoPro:\u003c\/h4\u003e\nThis frame has been designed to take a Hero 11 Mini on the front between the blades. At ~20deg tilt and 8:7 wide, you will get a bit of prop view in the lower corners but any amount of stabilization with any software will completely remove any visible prop. Or you can crop it to 16:9 and props will be gone. If you’re running a full Hero cam, the mount will be raised up a bit. If you’re running something narrower than a H11Mini, perfect. Brain3D already has all the mounts ready for this.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDJI O3:\u003c\/h4\u003e\nWe have some frames with O3 cams in them that have no issues with vibrations but we also understand that many still want some degree of soft mounting of the camera. Those will come in the next batch and will be available separately.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTPU stuff:\u003c\/h4\u003e\nBrain 3D already has all of it ready.
