ImpulseRC Apex EVO 5" FPV Frame Kit The ImpulseRC Apex EVO 5" FPV Frame Kit is designed for FPV pilots who seek the ultimate combination of performance, durability, and versatility. This innovative frame is meticulously crafted from high-quality carbon fiber, providing exceptional strength while keeping the overall weight to a minimum. The Apex EVO features a unique geometry that enhances flight stability and responsiveness, making it an ideal choice for both racing and freestyle applications. Equipped with thoughtful design features, the Apex EVO allows for easy component installation and customization. Its modular structure supports various setups, accommodating different flight controllers, motors, and cameras effortlessly. Whether you’re a seasoned pilot or just starting, the ImpulseRC Apex EVO 5" Frame Kit offers the reliability and performance you need to take your FPV experience to new heights. CAMERA MOUNT Included with the Apex EVO is a newly redesigned aluminium camera mount and 3D printed isolation inserts. This keeps the camera firmly locked in place and reduces vibrations, whilst ensuring it is electrically isolated from the frame. With the many different HD and analog cameras on the market there is a large variation between models in the distance from the front of the lens to the mounting bolts. To give the camera the best possible protection, whilst also keeping the frame out of shot, it is critical to be able to adjust the position of the camera forwards and backwards within the frame. By rotating the TPU inserts 180 degrees, as well as alternating between using the upper or lower bolt as the pivot point, the EVO camera mount has 4 possible mounting positions each 2mm apart. CUSTOM GOPRO MOUNTING For quick angle changes while filming, not many mounts can beat the standard GoPro tab and slot design. However the stock GoPro bolt leaves a lot to be desired for FPV use. Included with the Mr Steele version of the Apex is not only a 3D printed mount, but also a new custom designed bolt, specifically for FPV use.Our new bolt is machined from aluminium for substantial weight savings and has an 8mm hex on the outside, along with an internal 2.5mm hex broach.Make quick changes to your GoPro angle using either the standard hex driver for M3 bolts, or the prop tool for M5 nuts, which you already have with you in your flight bag. HD VIDEO SYSTEM ISOLATION A major drawback of the some modern HD video systems 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 Caddx Vista and M1.6 hardware for the DJI O3, we also include a die-cut mylar insulator and custom machined 'cone rivets' from non-conductive POM.When installed your HD video system, and also the mounting 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. ANTENNA MOUNTING Included in every kit is a 3D printed antenna mount for the your HD video system or other similar antennas. In addition the Mr Steele version of the kit also includes a standoff mount for the Tracer Immortal-T antenna.
