250 gLowRider frame by shawdreamer

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

this is my latest design based on the main plates and arms of the Zmr250 frame.
I designed this setup to be super compact and made it to be as minimal as possible when it came to space wastage.
this design uses the two main lower plates of the ZMR frame and the arms, it separates the lower plate and arms with spaces to give just enough room for a 4in1 Esc & FC (minimal space only allows for an AIO)and a VTX, spacers in arms are hollowed to allow LED strip fitment (which is were the "glow" part in its name comes from) and motor cable routing.
all wiring and electronics are entirely internal ( I hate having electronics and wiring on show and just asking to snag on something)
the RX can be placed at the rear of the upper plate were it is then covered by the upper printed battery mount/canopy.
The camera can be anything of similar dimensions to the Foxeer arrow mini pro (such as the Runcam micro swift), technically the cam doesnt need to have inbuilt OSD as the FC has on but it saves time if the cam can just be powered and you dont have to mess with the FC OSD atall then.
The VTX I used is a Eachine VTX03 positioned right beneath the cam in the lower spacer gap (so the setting display and button can be seen and accessed from beneath) and the antenna is then fed to the rear space part via a Ipex to sma extension cable, a more standard VTX wouldnt be an issue though if thats your preference

added a mount for a HMdvr module which will give the GlowRider onboard DVR capability, with a decent enough flight cam like Ive used you'll be able to capture near action cam HD quality footage with no concerns about signal stutter or static over a 5.8ghz fpv connection, add to that the benefit of not having to add an additional action cam and the weight it brings and its a win win.
