IFlight developed the Afterburner 5″ FPV drone in partnership with 2RAW; an organization targeted on cinematic FPV drones. Adopting a true-x body construction, it has a 20% smaller footprint than conventional 5-inch freestyle frames.
To scale back the vibration and actions of the GoPro digital camera throughout flights, that is put in within the middle of the body, not in entrance. The view will probably be clear, no matter whether or not the digital camera is put in vertically (16:9) or horizontally (9:16), from 5 to 60 levels. Attributable to this strategy, the battery is moved from the highest to the underside of the drone. The body construction appears strong, to not face up to crashes however to cut back the jello impact.
Contained in the aero shell is a strong flight stack utilizing a BLITZ F7 flight controller and BLITZ E55 4-IN-1 55A ESC. The XING2 2207 1750KV motors are geared up with GEMFAN 5.1X3.6X3 propellers. For greatest efficiency, the iFlight Afterburner is meant to be powered by 6S LIPO batteries. You may count on a most hovering time of 11 minutes with a 1400mAh battery (w/o further load).
You may go for ELRS 868/915MHZ, ELRS 2.4GHz, or TBS Crossfire NANO RX based on your current transmitter. The iFlight Afterburner 5 is natively appropriate with DJI’s FPV V2 controller.
Geared up with a DJI O3 Air Unit HD digital FPV system, you possibly can count on as much as 10 km video transmission vary and 4K onboard recording. The system ensures crisp and easy real-time view in your goggles, even in environments with interference.
High 6 key options of iFlight & 2RAW Afterburner Cinematic FPV drone body
- [Ultra light] It weighs simply 460g, together with antennas, GPS, and many others. With the flight battery and a GoPro motion digital camera on prime, you possibly can simply keep below 1kg take-off weight.
- [Smallest Footprint] iFlight realizes that when touring and filming with a 5inch FPV drone, dimension is every little thing; that’s why Afterburner has a 20% smaller footprint than conventional 5inch freestyle frames; this permits for simpler transportation in addition to elevated agility and fewer drag – which means higher all-round efficiency.
- [Unique Aero Shell] The aeroshell makes Afterburner look distinctive and engineered with aerodynamics in thoughts. It controls the airflow across the physique and throughout the drone. Because the drone’s pace will increase, the aero shell acts as an air divider, stopping air from hitting the flat prime plate. The shell additionally helps to protect the electronics from dust and moisture so you possibly can have extra confidence in essential conditions.
- [Advanced Truss Arms] The workforce experimented with numerous arm designs made out of flat carbon over a number of months. A number of ideas and totally different truss buildings had been examined till we discovered the optimum arms. The star design mixed with the trusses ensures nice stiffness whereas protecting the burden down and excellent stability, delivering distinctive outcomes when filming with buttery footage.
- [Bottom Mount Battery] Impressed by FPV racers, we took a backside mount battery strategy; this permits the battery to trigger minimal drag doable and utterly clears the highest of the drone to permit for the Gopro mounting in addition to a transparent line of sight for the GPS. In 16:9, the GoPro has no props within the view from 5 levels to 60 levels. Afterburner was constructed for the cinema pilot! The central battery additionally permits the CG to stay near the center of the physique, permitting for improved agility within the air.
- [Lowest Resonance – Highest Performance] T700 Toray Twill weave Carbon Fibre ensures the very best quality materials.
