500 Glass Fiber Frame Kit (TBS design)

The TBS 500 Glass Fiber Frame Kit is an asymmetrical, 500mm wheelbase quadcopter frame engineered for FPV cruising and aerial photography. Utilising a distinct "spider" layout, it positions the front arms wider to ensure propellers stay completely out of your FPV or HD action camera's field of view. This geometry creates an excellent, stable foundation for a custom 9-inch or 10-inch camera rig, long-endurance explorer, or autonomous mapping drone.

Key features

• Asymmetrical spider design entirely eliminates propellers from the forward camera feed.

• Rigid glass fibre centre plates provide a stable mounting platform for heavier camera payloads and gimbals.

• Uses standard F450-style polyamide nylon arms to absorb landing impacts and reduce motor vibrations.

• Extended chassis layout accommodates large flight controllers, GPS modules, and high-capacity batteries to counter-balance front-mounted cameras.
