It’s currently common to use the top plate as a structural element so that the main deck can be reduced in weight. While this still works great, it relies on a number of spaced out joints for structural integrity. If you pull those joints closer together, your structural integrity will improve. This is the same reason why shorter standoffs are more durable in a crash. The structure of the Prototype 5 is designed to pull all the structural elements as close together as possible to create a deck that is rigid, but more importantly cross braced against itself to help manage forces and vibrations. This probably sounds like a bunch of mumbo-jumbo but when you hold it in your hand, you immediately understand and it feels right.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0172\/6051\/1286\/files\/20201118_201252_600x600.jpg?v=1605767204\" alt=\"\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0172\/6051\/1286\/files\/20201118_201252_600x600.jpg?v=1605767204\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHauling a GoPro around is an annoying necessity. One of the biggest annoyances is getting the props out of the camera view at low camera tilt without destroying flight performance. In order to achieve this, most designs either have a super tall build height, move the camera way way forward or the frame is enormous and the GoPro sits between the front blades. Any of these methods will significantly compromise weight, weight distribution and control performance. But it is what it is, no? While it definitely is what it is, with this design we’ve carefully positioned the GoPro as close to the CG as possible such that you will get a bit of prop in view at low 20deg GoPro Hero angles but after software stabilization, there ‘should’ be no props in view. This doesn’t immediately seem like a big deal but the resulting performance of the quad in such a small package speaks for itself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0172\/6051\/1286\/files\/20201118_201228_600x600.jpg?v=1605767332\" alt=\"\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0172\/6051\/1286\/files\/20201118_201228_600x600.jpg?v=1605767332\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis design was drawn up in 2019 in anticipation of the future electronics we have today. The design has not yet been broadly tested by a large audience yet. Typically, our frames go through initial design and testing, then several prototype batches where copious amounts of feedback are collected and considered. Adjustments are made if necessary and the frame becomes more complete then gets a name. The future adjusted parts will stay compatible with the current parts as well and prototype batches are discounted too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is one annoyance with this frame we must point out up front. It uses press-nuts for everything which is much simpler but if you’re using a 20x20 stack, you cannot just replace an arm by undoing the two arm screws. You must loosen two other arm screws to pop the arm out. If using the Whoop pattern or 30x30, this isn’t an issue. Annoying but not a big deal because it only takes an extra couple seconds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits 5.25” props\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMotor mount pattern: 16x16\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComes with motor mounting screws\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrame weight fully built: ~115g (no batt pad needed)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePremium materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20mm build height\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo side by side electronic platforms, 30x30, 20x20 and Whoop mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo stack screw integration with arms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWide X layout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo props in GoPro Hero view at ~20deg after stabilization processing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo screws per independent arm with bracing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMotor bumpers on arms ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGoPro mount platform compatible with other FPVCycle frames\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGoPro mounts sold on the FPVCycle site will fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12.9 hardness steel screws and steel press-nuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicro and Nano sized FPV camera spacing (20mm wide or narrower)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComfortable room for battery on top\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo need for battery pads.
