What to check before you buy
- Mounting size
- Check 30×30, 20×20 or whoop 25.5×25.5 hole spacing against your frame and ESC.
- Gyro
- Compare the gyro (ICM42688, BMI270, MPU6000) and whether the firmware target supports it.
- UARTs and ports
- Count the UARTs you need for receiver, video, GPS and telemetry, and check the connector for a digital video system.
- Input voltage and BEC
- Check the supported cell count and the 5 V, 9 V or 10 V BEC outputs for video and cameras.
- Firmware target
- Ask which Betaflight, INAV or ArduPilot target the board ships with.
- Extras
- Check for a barometer, OSD chip, blackbox memory and an LED or buzzer pad.
F7 flight controllers FAQ
Why choose an F7 over an F4 board?
F7 boards have more UARTs and a faster processor, which helps with GPS, telemetry and higher loop rates.
What is an AIO flight controller?
A board that combines the flight controller with a 4-in-1 ESC, and often a receiver, to save weight on small drones.
