It's FPV ERA 5" FPV Frame Kit - The Perfect 5 Inch?

[@justinreschke3642]

"The perfect 5 inch" is my OF channel name. 😂

[@StoneFPV-]

Great video Ian! Glad to see you finally got out and did some flying.

[@LtsPrty]

got my 2 delivered today. ordered on sunday & even got my tracking number the same day, on a SUNDAY!? quality is amazing. perfect 5” ❤

[@DigitalCruzer]

Ordered mine about 2 weeks ago, they was very quick to ship! And thier support is amazing, i ordered more extra parts after ordering the frame just incase and they refunded me the extra shipping to the states cuz they combined them, which was awesome of them... It Was supposed to be here Monday but looks like it got tied up in customs...

[@calebd1776]

amazing, solid frame that flies very very well. ive built 2 of them so far and they are my daily drivers now. the era is definitely a bit heavier than the vannystyle pro, which is another amazing frame, but I just love the way the era was designed and how it feels in the air, especially with an mpu6000 gyro onboard. on top of that the frame is extremely durable. great vid Ian, happy to see you cover this awesome frame. 👍

[@MadRC]

Iv been wanting to check out the Vanny. I won’t be sent one lol but I may order one in

[@MCsCreations]

Awesome review, Ian! 😃 Looks like a pretty good frame indeed! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@mrmoon_fpv]

good content as always. The frame looks nice but seems a bit pricey for what it is. Might give it a try one day. Keep up the good work. Support you 100%.

[@ImperialArmour]

Glad you recovered your brand new quad.

[@FREEDOMFPV84]

I seen a couple other people review it and the one crashed it pretty good and nothing broke it's a strong frame that's for sure it's just a little steep on tje price but I think I will get one at some point I love building new quads and that one seems pretty strong thanks for the review bud 👍👍

[@Ferdigrapher]

❤🔥 Sick Frame! Hope I will get mine soon!

[@DrFrantic77]

Nice Review... this frame looks like a better Apex... the design is very similar.

[@keithcarpenter5254]

A oner for a frame! It ought to come with all the plastics, an maybe couple of spare arms. I know tooling is still quite dear, and the indestructible camera mount is one of its main selling points, but lord that's still steep! The only con i can see, otherwise. 😊 Nice piece of design.

[@JuicyJ_FPV]

Very interesting. I hope to see this show up in US shops. I don’t want to get stuck only being able to order parts from one spot over seas. I’ve been dealing with that flying quadmula framed which I do love but when things get sold out you shit out of luck.

[@LehtusBphree2flyFPV]

I'm still waiting for this frame to come in the mail but the USPS lost it and now i have to wait until they find it. This reminds me of the Apex frame. Download the STL files for the parts you need for this FRAME. At $110 is not bad. Armattan frames come with a lifetime warranty on everything that might break which is EPIC for s company to offer. Print the RadioMaster mount for the front of the cage. The Armattan BEAVER is a great frame it comes with it's own racewire and sticky battery pads and fly high has STL files for the LED FEET to run LED strings through the feet. He sells them for 10 Yoda's which is totally worth it.

[@Actionmannin]

what was the cause of the ELRS failsafe? I'm having receiver problems on a brand new babyhawk 03

[@peterboy209]

Clever design...👍

[@DaiHungFPV]

I like shorter frames as well! tried some of the longer ones, like Roma F5, Iflight xl5 and Apex EVO but I really don't like them. and right now I only fly the OG Apex frame, bought some clones of the frame and they are excellent in durability and flight character.

[@HunnyFPV]

Finally somebody put that frame on a scale. These guys don't even mention the weight on their site. Well, 146g is not bad, but not even close to vannystyle or quadmula.

[@MrMartinRome]

How is this frame work twice as much as a Mario 5? No way.

[@rubberonasphalt]

Yeah I don't see 2x the value here. Speedybee, FlyfishRC, and iFlight frames look better, and are cheaper for me to replace arms and other parts

[@Kai-P]

As always there are diminishing returns between a budget frame and a premium frame. A premium frame will never be the best value.

[@Royskooner]

I think the price will come down in the future. It's their first product and they still don't have the scale of something like SpeedyBee

[@Simofly]

So similar to apex, updated in the right places I have to say. I don’t understand how could it be so crash resistant with only one screw holding the arm. In hard crashes on long term the arm will move permanently.Imho

[@Smagsfpv]

Çant wait to see more on this frame

[@noisy_boi_fpv_3920]

Without a noise profile from black box or a look at raw noise its kinda a fan boi hail does look good but im apex all day

[@ClareFPV]

Apex for the win

[@noisy_boi_fpv_3920]

Dam straight 🎉

[@athirfpv9310]

Hi you said its really flying nice and you using fettec stock I'm using the same Fettec G4 FC and fettec 65A ESC but the tune still not there didn't fly 100% good with fettec. can you share your tune please, my quad flying loses even I changed the motor still not good as other quad I tried to contact them and they have only betaflight tune. No fettec, but the frame rally good and strong 💪

[@fededabz]

111 bucks is crazy

[@Loochy3]

To be fair a Apex also costs 100 or so. For me at least 100 Bucks for a Excellent Frame isn't that bad

[@DanZfpv]

Not the right frame for me. BUT, I love that they have thought outside the box and executed some new things. I think the concepts are neat. I'm curious to see hardcore freestyle pilots with various flight styles put it through the ringer.

[@GlobalSourcing]

What are your thoughts on a nylon camera cage?

[@DanZfpv]

@@GlobalSourcing I love the idea. I don’t know enough about all the properties of Nylon. But everybody seems to say it’s incredibly durable. I’ll assume that the majority is correct on this one unless proven otherwise. I’m curious what affects, if any, colder temps have. I generally keep flying until it starts getting below 40F(~4C). At those colder temps I see some materials start to react differently. The only concrete part that I question about it is that it’s advertised as being fixed at 20deg. Personally, I fly 30fixed. I’m sure there is some wiggle room in there. But I would not want any obstructions in view.

[@dod.fpv_]

You have a perfectly clear view from 5 to 40° uptilt :) ​@@DanZfpv

Fixed camera angle?

[@malnasimon7041]

Hey Ian. Im goingt to be honest here, this 'review' does not seem like one. It felt like it was really rushed and not that critical. I am NOT saying it was biast. I am just saying, that it wasnt as in-dept as your other reviews. I kind of understand this. I mean, it's just another frame. But on the other hand, it's a very interesting frame. So you could have gone a bit more into detail on everything. I mean, you didnt even mention the t800 and t700 carbon fiber, which is kind of one of the most important features of the ERA and 'kevlar battery straps increase rigidity'? Come on, we all know you can do better than this. Now in regards to the frame itself, I absolutely love it. Actually, it has everything I ever wanted. I am currently flying an Apex, which I really like, but the ERA seems like an even better version of the apex. It is really similar, but with a few adjustments, that make it even better than the Apex. So I might consider it for a build in the future, as I am living in Luxembourg, so no extra shipping costs, etc. To be clear, this was not personnal against you, Ian. I just wanted to write a constructive critisism, as that is something everybody needs to get better. I still love your videos, will always do that and the video was still entertaining. Cheers!

[@ClareFPV]

Fettec is a hunk of shit and I agree that this review was biased.

[@midnitejesus]

how much does the frame weigh?

[@Nodestradamus]

Why can't I buy a frame that has good 03 camera mounting, AIO layout, and suitable for a sub250 freestyle build? The ONLY frame that comes close is the Five33 TT HD but it has a stacked setup more like a racing than freestyle. ImpulseRC Micro Apex is crazy old and needs the EVO treatment, give it an AIO, and 03 mounting PLEASE!

[@WegaFPV]

the new tanq s seems fit to your requirment kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXqYoWl3p96recU&ab_channel=LetsFlyRC

[@Nodestradamus]

@@WegaFPV That thing is WAYYY to heavy, Weight: 84g. It's almost 300g the way he fly's it, needs to be around 50/55g like the Apex micro.

[@martinfpv5]

Without AIO, checkout quadmula djinn. 2.5 inch but very nice

[@mr-huggy]

Have a check at the vast range of frames that CNCdrones does form 31m to 13 inches. They have a ton of options for sub 250g quads.

[@TheLastTater]

Looks awesome and no doubt has great quality but much heavier than I would liked. I’m sure it’s durable but I think I’d prefer the quadmula f5 split to save the extra 40ish grams.

[@GarethDix]

I just built a siren F5 and it’s amazing… I am tempted by this too but the F5 is definitely an easier build… even space for a double cap

[@TheLastTater]

@@GarethDix absolutely! I’m still waiting for them to come back in stock lol

[@ah4quadssake885]

Think I will stick with the £18.99 apex copy which is very similar to this. And the press nuts are preinstalled unlike this one and the original apex kits

[@McShakyFPV]

A few reviews were put off that they refuse to release weight

[@nils_vo]

Wait until you see the Blackbox log if you build the other one with Betaflight 😉

[@jasukenneth]

@@awerks12budget problems in the hobby that is cheap for wallet 🤙

[@rainsquadfpv]

It's a cool frame and idea but $100 is a bit steep for me

[@NikolayBrovkin]

Welcome to 2015 with fixed camera angle for only $112 + shipping!!!

[@ClareFPV]

🤣🤣🤣

[@madladdan]

Elrs failsafe?

[@Smagsfpv]

I really like this frame, wanna buy 1 but it's expensive, the shipping is expensive. Ordering replacement parts will be expensive and take longer to ship. They should lower the price

[@ilikebananasFPV]

well now you know what its like to be european with all the good U.S. made frames :)

[@DanZfpv]

@@ilikebananasFPV 🤣very true

[@JuicyJ_FPV]

Yeah I feel you. Hopefully pyrodrone and others will start carrying this frame and its parts but until then I will probably wait. I did win a set of the 2208 motors but haven’t flown them yet. They look super nice but there are a lot of once motors out there but less money.

[@LehtusBphree2flyFPV]

I buy frames from ProtoFPV although expensive but so worth the money for pattyflipzFPV design. The Proto5 is amazing it's the baby hawk 2 HD frame but in a 5 inch. At $172 for the full kit or $145 for the core kit and you can print your own parts. I rather support the creators that make great frames than order ones from China that breaks more.

[@Smagsfpv]

@@JuicyJ_FPV I got one. Ordered from Germany lol

[@phiveone]

Literally a modified Apex. all at a higher price.

[@SirCrypt666]

Doubt it's any better than Apex EVO or Mark5. Indeed it looks inferior due to catastrophic lack of space.

[@trippyzocy]

I like it but there's props in view so im not into now.

[@testpilotian3188]

It’s getting a bit annoying that frame manufactures are continuing to make their frames slam decks, so you have to either have specific flight controller stacks or cut down the grommets on others to get them in, it’s only a matter of 5mm and when I’ve modified a frame to be 5mm taler, it’s made absolutely no difference to the flight experience.

[@hi_desert_rat]

Better it failsafed into those trees instead of that water.

[@schweizerluchs7146]

yeah right!!! Just two seconds later and it would dunk into the river 😬

[@edenr1988]

Would be very cool to see how you build it with the DJI o3 Airunit. Thanks !!

[@gabrielemoro1]

The perfect 5" frame is my Gravity Loss.

[@eyeflytinkerings]

They ask for 111$ internationally and 119€ within the EU - which is... quite weird. Makes absolutely no sense.

[@invertedflow]

EU pricing includes taxes, not international (as the receiving country taxes on import) :)

[@aarondodson1261]

I don't spend more than 50 on a frame fly the same to me

[@AlyxFPV]

Another re drawn ImpulseRC Apex god dammit...

[@kerrymillar4981]

What a poor fit the carbon arms the to lock in the carbon frame

[@JKwon_FPV]

u put on the topplate the wrong way around. cutouts need to face the stack. i like this frame so far. having flown with it for ca. 30-50 packs by now. if you try to fly like ken/dod/nils.vo/abgehoben/refurbished (as in lines through gaps etc) this frame will serve you well. still not sure how this frames holds up to matty abuse in a bando. but so far i can say its a good frame.

[@MadRC]

What do you mean the top plate is in wrong. It can only go one way

[@JKwon_FPV]

@@MadRC wrong as in upside down. at least in 13:58 it looks like you had it upside down. but at 17:35 it looks like you had it right with the lipo pad.

[@ilikebananasFPV]

zitat eines piloten der vermutlich anonym bleiben möchte - "ein frame für vorwärtsflieger" 30-50 packs sind nice, da gibts nen anderen frame wo die top plate schon durch war

[@JKwon_FPV]

@@ilikebananasFPV nur am spitten der Boy :D daher ja die custom Version vom besagtem frame 👀👀

[@calebd1776]

@@MadRC its upside down. I did the exact same thing the first time I built it. the cutouts on the top platte should be facing down while the smooth side of the top plate should have the battery pad on it. it was actually ken that told me it was upside down when he saw a pic of my build online. smooth side faces up, cutouts face down. how much difference does it make? probably none lol but that's what I was told by the frame designer.
