Why ‘CG’?
CG stands for Center of Gravity. This continues to be a key focus of Hyperlow design. Centralizing the mass of your quad through low profile builds is key for smoother, more predictable performance. The HYPERLOW CG continues this trend by offering variable top mount build heights to fit your choice of electronics, while also allowing for an invertible mid-mount build option AND modularity all in one!
With many other frame companies in 2017 following suit and dropping their build heights, Hyperlow frames continue to offer the lowest profile builds AND allows the use of full size FPV cameras. This year we are taking it up a notch with this redesign that also takes the guesswork out of building practices.
Component Mounting
With the HYPERLOW CG you are no longer presented with an empty cavity and left to your own devices to figure out where and how to place your electronics.
The design of this frame was focused around the standardized FC mounting pattern. This layout exist down the full body of the frame and doubles as mounting points for the new forked arms, and as individual mounting areas for each electronic component.
The FPV cam, receiver, flight controller, and VTX, all have their designated mounting positions along this horizontal layout. Thanks to the flared top plate leaving the rear clear from structural standoffs, you are also free to mix the RX, FC, and VTX order should you wish.
Component mounting plates provide a platform for easy attachment areas which also offer carbon isolation, increased airflow, and force a much tidier build. Having the components raised from the bottom plate then offers the opportunity for cleanly routing wires underneath the horizontal stack, and also allows for convenient battery strap space in the mid-mount configuration.
Extras and Optionals
Rounding off the kit are the various camera and antenna mounts, as well as battery, antenna, and landing pads for protection and isolation. Also included is a HYPERLOW GOPRO COUCH; ready to mount a Session, or provide overhead protection for a Runcam Split.

PH –
This is a really convenient frame to build a nice freestyle quad on! The finish is top notch and the design seems well thought-through.
The build is tight because of the low space for a stack but everything fits in there due to the separate space for receiver and VTX.
I printed combined arm guards/motor soft mounts from Thingiverse. I also found a decent AXII VTX antenna mount.
A bit strange that Hypelow didn’t provide any printed camera mounts for micro cameras (again found one on Thingiverse but it wasn’t an official mount). Same thing for the nice CrossFire Immortal antenna mount that can be bought via Hyperlow, not published for own printing.
Finally HD cam mount. The provided mount is nice but I prefer a lower camera tilt so I had to make my own.
How does it fly? Well, well balanced with the top mounted battery (6S 1050mAh) and a GoPro Session 5. Pretty “agile” in the air. With 2306 motors and the soft mounts I get very good picture quality with no yello on the GoPro.
When it comes to durability I cannot say that much yet. Some trees, grass and softer ground but no bando flying yet.
All in all, nice frame but I think Hyperlow should provide some more models for 3D printing on Thingiverse.
