It was shaped around the sweep of the FPV camera angle to provide protection regardless of camera position. The main plate is cut short upfront so the FPV camera can sit low.. The 3mm vertical carbon pieces clamp on to the main plate via three horizontal standoffs, one of which also secures the GoPro mount.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGoPro Mount Integration\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe 3D printed GoPro mount was considered from the beginning rather than left to be retro-fitted. It was originally intended to slide over two upper horizontal standoffs to fully eliminate the possibility of the screws pulling through mounting holes. However, crashes tend to be from the front, so a single rear mounting bolt was considered because the front standoff sleeve would provide nearly all the benefit. This became the final design as it also allowed for the removal of an upper standoff; the rear GoPro mount screw also serving as the front top plate screw simplifies maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInternal Serviceability\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe top plate removes with 5 screws, allowing access to the drone’s internals. The front camera cage stays secure to the main plate even without the top plate so it will not fall out while handling the opened drone.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCurved Arm Interface\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe overlap between the main plate and arms has an extreme curve to distribute the shear force on the arms during crashes.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArm Replacement\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eShould an arm need replacing, pressnuts in the main plate facilitate the swap. Additionally, the 30 x 30 holes in the arms and lower brace are enlarged so that the electronics stack need not be disturbed when replacing arms.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStack Isolation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe 30 x 30 holes in the main plate accommodate the included grommets to isolate the electronics stack.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRear Slots\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe two slots in the rear of the main plate were designed around a 20x20 M2 hole pattern. A component such as a receiver can be placed between the slots and strapped down while M2 screws can fit in the ends of the slot to mount an additional 20x20 component such as a video transmitter.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLow CG\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe top plate sits 20mm above the main plate. Drib experimented with everything from high 35mm top mount battery to 0mm mid mount battery frame design. He found that he prefers the agile feel of top mount over the neutral feel of mid mount. However, also found that the lowering the battery a bit improved the “locked in” feel. He settled on 20mm as his favorite height of top mount battery.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenuine Ummagrip\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eCustom cut Ummagrip eliminates battery slippage.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMotor Protection\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe classic teardrop arm end, extended to be bolder and provide for better motor protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTapered Rear\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eDamn, look at that booty.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eSoft mount for FC on the 30x30 stack.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e20mm Standoffs\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eUmmagrip Sticky Battery Pad\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eTop Mount battery Design\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e4mm durable arms \u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003ePlenty of room for a nice clean compact build\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eeasy single arm replacement \u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003ch2\u003eIncludes\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e1x Skyeliner Frame\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e1x Set of high-quality Steel hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e1x Battery Strap\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e1x ESC sticker Sheet\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e4x Foam Landing Pads\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e1x Sticky Battery pad by Ummagrip Company, Designed specifically for the Skyeliner\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"XHover","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":14779083423807,"sku":"9446","price":96.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0084\/8301\/2671\/products\/dsc00731.jpg?v=1570044000","url":"https:\/\/dronecosmo.myshopify.com\/products\/xhover-skyeliner-by-drib-5-frame","provider":"DroneCosmo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
