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 feel is 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 attaching a GoPro camera and a GPS module hidden under the GoPro mount. GPS enables automatic return to launch point and displays speed, distance, and direction to the launch 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 CNC-milled from 5,5 mm thick carbon. The FPV camera is mounted in aluminum side plates using rubber inserts that minimize vibration transfer.

The propulsion 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 of 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.

Important notice: The DJI O4 camera uses a new generation of gyros, which are more sensitive to vibration. This may affect the proper function of RockSteady and Gyroflow stabilization.
