DarwinFPV FoldApe4 Frame Kit

The DarwinFPV FoldApe4 is a 4-inch micro long range FPV drone. It adopts an innovative foldable structure design, and its volume is reduced by 70% after folding. It can be easily put into your pocket and is very suitable for taking pictures of scenery when you travel.
Compatible with all mainstream VTX (analog, DJI O3, RunCam link WASP, Walksnail Avatar), can mount bare GoPro, and reserve a GPS installation location.
We have solved the vibration and arm rigidity problems caused by folding through specially designed carbon fiber propeller clamps and arm structures. Even when performing high-intensity movements such as freestyle and flip over, the arms will not fold back!
The lightweight design of the frame is just heavy 51g, less than 250g take-off weight, in line with the regulations of most countries. It feels more like a toothpick fpv drone, very light, efficient and quiet.

Features

1: The Frame has been assembled in advance at the factory, eliminating the trouble of novices not knowing how to assemble, saving you time and worry;
2: After folding, the volume is reduced by 70%. There is no need to remove the propeller. It can be put directly into your pocket, making it easy to store and carry. It is very suitable for traveling and taking pictures of scenery;
3: Many friends are concerned about the strength of the arm. For this reason, we designed the arm to be fixed with two screws after being unfolded. Even if there is an accidental fall out of control or flip over after a crash situation, there is no need to worry about the arm folding back.  After the screws are tightened, there is no difference from ordinary drones;
4: Many players are concerned about the jitter problem. For this reason, we abandoned GEMFAN’s original plastic propeller clamp and used a high-precision metal bushing with a carbon fiber propeller clamp to control the accuracy to ±0.05mm. It has less vibration, is lighter, and is more resistant to explosions than the original propeller , it is difficult to feel the difference from ordinary two-blade propellers;
5: It is recommended to use DarwinFPV 1504 long-life motor and 3S 1150mah battery for 20 minutes of empty cruising (Analog version);
6: The frame only weighs 51g, lighter and easier to fly than similar 4-inch frames;
7: The re-optimized DC structure design is different from the problem of front and rear moment asymmetry caused by the traditional DC structure, and the flying feel is better;
8: Surface chamfering and oil spraying process, comfortable to the touch.

FoldApe4 Antenna Mount Base Update Tips

We updated the V2 version of the FoldApe4 Antenna Mount Base on 2015.1.4. Please refer to the GPS in the picture to choose the correct mount.The main difference between the V2 version and the previous V1 version is the GPS installation hole. Since we replaced the GPS module with the same function but smaller size on the FoldApe4, the GPS hole of the V2 version printout has become smaller accordingly.
