Apex EVO 5" Frame

The Apex EVO combines durability with video clarity for optimal performance. Featuring rigid carbon fiber construction  along with an aluminum and TPU camera mount and HD video isolation parts, this kit delivers high-definition footage. The frame also includes molded skids and bumpers to protect your carbon, as well as rubber and velcro battery pad options. 

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.

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.
