FPV Drone Frames
Compare FPV drone frames from Chinese manufacturers by size, layout, arm thickness and camera fit, from cinewhoop frames to 5-inch and long-range builds.
FPV frames only: the chassis for FPV quads, without fixed-wing, VTOL or heavy-lift frames, which stay on the drone frames page. Listings run from whoop and 2-inch frames to 5-inch freestyle frames and long-range frames of 7 inches and more.

Cinewhoops and micro builds
2- to 3.5-inch frames, often with prop guards, for indoor and close-range flying.
Freestyle and racing
5-inch frames in true X, squashed X or dead-cat layouts; a dead-cat layout keeps the props out of the camera view.
Long range and payload
Frames from 6 inches up for longer flights, larger batteries or extra payload.

What to check before you buy
- Propeller size
- Confirm the largest propeller the frame clears; wheelbase alone does not prove fit.
- Layout
- True X, squashed X, H or dead-cat layouts change handling and whether props appear in the camera view.
- Arm and plate thickness
- Compare arm and plate thickness against frame weight, and ask for the carbon fiber grade used.
- Electronics mounting
- Check stack hole spacing (20 x 20 or 30.5 x 30.5 mm), motor hole pattern and usable stack height.
- Camera and video
- Check camera width and mounts for the digital or analog video system you use, and where the antennas go.
- Spare parts
- Ask whether arms and plates are sold separately for that frame version.
FPV drone frames FAQ
Does the frame size equal the propeller size?
The size class usually names the largest propeller, but check the stated propeller clearance and wheelbase for each frame.
Will my digital video system fit?
Check the camera width and the video unit's mounting holes against the frame drawing; a general HD-compatible label does not cover every system.
Can I replace a single arm?
On frames with separate arms, yes: ask for the arm part number for your frame version. A unibody frame needs a new bottom plate.
