250 gLowRider frame

thingiverse

This is my latest design built on the main plates and arms of the Zmr250 frame. I created this setup to be super compact, making it as minimal as possible when it comes to space wastage. This design utilizes two main lower plates of the ZMR frame and the arms, separating them with spaces for a 4in1 Esc & FC (minimal space only allows for an AIO) and a VTX. Spacers in arms are hollowed out to allow LED strip fitment (which is where the "glow" part in its name comes from) and motor cable routing. All wiring and electronics are entirely internal, as I hate having electronics and wiring on show just waiting to snag on something. The RX can be placed at the rear of the upper plate, 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 doesn't need to have inbuilt OSD as the FC has on but it saves time if the cam can just be powered and you don't have to mess with the FC OSD at all. 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 wouldn't be an issue though if that's your preference. My current spec... Multistar 30a All-in-one Esc & FC Turnigy D2205 2300kv motors Eachine VTX03 Foxeer Arrow Mini Pro Flysky X6b receiver 13/10/2018 Added a mount for a HMdvr module which will give the GlowRider onboard DVR capability, with a decent enough flight cam like I've 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 it's a win-win.
