Axisflying Manta5 SE V2 X O4 - 6S ELRS with GPS

Axisflying Manta5 SE V2 is a 5" freestyle drone with a good price/performance ratio and DJI O4 video transmission. The drone is in a Squeshed X configuration, where the flight characteristics are close to a classic X frame and the arms provide better camera protection in a front impact than a Deadcat frame. The drone includes a 3D printed mount for securing a GoPro camera and a GPS module hidden under the GoPro mount. GPS enables automatic return to home and displays speed, distance, and direction to the takeoff point in the FPV image. The second version of the drone is equipped with plastic side panels that protect the electronics from dirt. For higher durability, the arms are milled from 5.5 mm thick carbon. The FPV camera is mounted in aluminum side plates using rubber inserts that minimize vibration transfer.

The drive is provided by AE2207 V2 1960KV motors and 60A ESCs with 32-bit firmware. The flight controller uses an F722 processor and ICM42688P gyro. It also features 16 MB blackbox memory and an integrated barometer for altitude measurement. Video transmission is handled by the DJI O4 digital unit. The drone is equipped with an ELRS receiver on 2.4 GHz.

Recommended batteries are 6S with a capacity of 1050–1550mAh.
