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

| Flight controller bolt pattern | 30.5x30.5, 20x20 |
| Weight without battery | 300–450 g |

The usual is 2207, 2208, 2308 or 2407 motors, with 2100–2500 KV on 4S or 1500–1900 KV on 6S. A motor that's too small runs out of power and one that's too big adds weight.
It uses 4S or 6S. Typical capacities: 4S 1300–1800 mAh, 6S 1000–1500 mAh. The battery cells must match the motors and what the ESC supports.
The drone costs roughly between €380 and €800. On top of that you need a radio, goggles and a charger if you don't have them.
A beginner takes about 6–10 hours; someone with experience, 3–5.5 hours.
Analog, DJI O4, Walksnail Avatar or HDZero will fit. Remember the goggles must use the same system as the camera.
