Which frame do you want?

⭐
Our recommendation
Frame 2.5" Toothpick / micro · mount AIO 20x20
💡 Why does it matter?

The frame is the skeleton. It sets the prop size and where you bolt the flight controller.

Very small frames: the space limits which VTX and camera fit. 3S is the most used pack in this class.
