Apex 5" HD Freestyle FPV Drone Frame - Durable & Easy Maintenance
Build your ultimate freestyle machine with the Apex 5" HD FPV drone frame . Designed specifically for 5-inch propellers, this premium freestyle frame boasts a symmetrical X-shape configuration, ensuring balanced and predictable flight characteristics crucial for precise maneuvers. If you're searching for a reliable 5 inch quadcopter frame that blends performance with durability, the Apex HD is a top choice.
What truly sets the Apex frame apart is its innovative stack mounting system. Unlike traditional frames, the stack bolts are cleverly recessed and attach only to the central carbon plate, not passing through the arms or bottom plate. This revolutionary design means arm replacement is incredibly fast and easy , as you no longer need to disassemble your entire electronics stack. This feature makes it an ideal easy maintenance FPV frame.
Constructed with robust 5.5mm thick carbon fiber arms and durable top (2mm) and bottom (2.5mm) plates, this frame is built to withstand the inevitable impacts of aggressive freestyle flying. It offers versatile mounting options, accommodating both 20x20mm and 30.5x30.5mm M3 stacks. The rear features dedicated 20x20mm M2 mounting holes for secure video transmitter (VTX) installation. The HD version provides slightly more space in the rear, making it perfect for larger digital VTX units like the DJI O3 Air Unit, Caddx Vista, or Walksnail Avatar system, while still being fully compatible with analog FPV setups. The arms support motors with both 16mm and 19mm mounting patterns.
Included 3D printed parts provide convenient motor cable protectors or landing pads, adding extra value and protection to your build. Whether you need a durable FPV frame, a frame for DJI O3, or simply a high-performance carbon fiber drone frame that simplifies repairs, the Apex 5" HD delivers.
