** Discontinued - New Version Here ** It is always exciting when Impulse RC releases a new frame. Designed in collaboration with Mr. Steele, the ApexDC brings improvements to the classic 'dead cat' geometry for freestyle, videography, and mid-range exploration. Features: UNIQUE ARM GEOMETRY The ApexDC is a variation on the typical 'dead cat' frame which we have modified to keep the front and rear motors aligned, allowing us to maintain the much loved compressed-x geometry in the motor layout. This ensures the frame remains balanced and flight characteristics are not compromised, unlike the classic 'dead cat' design which moves the rear motors closer to the body and severely impacts handling. By modifying only the upper and lower main plates we retained full compatibility with regular Apex arms, using standard 5" arms at the front and standard 6" arms at the back. There are no props in view of DJI HD flight cameras and for slower cinematic flying it's now possible to run GoPro angles lower than ever before.CADDX VISTA ISOLATION A major drawback of the Caddx Vista system is that the body of the unit is grounded, this can cause the conductive carbon fiber plates and frame hardware to be grounded too. In an ideal world, this is not necessarily a problem, however, in the real world, it's an accident waiting to happen. Alongside the required M2 mounting hardware for the Vista, we also include a die-cut mylar insulator and custom machined 'cone rivets' from non-conductive POM. When installed the Caddx Vista and also the M2 hardware is electrically isolated from the frame. This solution adds only 0.5g of extra weight compared to other designs using bulky and heavy 3D prints.DJI HD CAMERA ISOLATION Like the Caddx Vista itself, certain DJI HD cameras can also ground the frame, with similar unfortunate consequences.Included with the ApexDC are newly redesigned HD camera plates and 3D printed insulation inserts. This keeps the camera firmly locked in place and reduces vibrations, whilst ensuring it is electrically isolated from the frame.ANTENNA MOUNTING Included in every kit is a 3D printed antenna mount for the Caddx Vista or other similar antennas.Includes:1x Impulse RC ApexDC FPV Frame1x Hardware and standoffs 1x Mylar and POM Vista isolation parts 1x Vista antenna mount 1x Injection-molded skids and bumper 1x Injection-molded wire covers 1x Rubber and velcro battery pads 1x Diamond files 1x Battery strap
