This is Hexacopter Frame that employs 6 arms to get into the air. There are several advantages of a hexacopter frame over a quadcopter one, justifying the extra price tag.

For 6 arms, of course, there are more motors with a hexacopter meaning more power, meaning bigger batteries. This increase in batteries leads to an increase in flight time, which is also nice. Due to these extra motors, a hexacopter is also more stable than your quadcopter equivalent.

Another great advantage of using hexacopters is if for any reason your quadcopter loses a motor, it goes down but with a hexacopter, on the other hand, in the majority of cases you will be able to land safely with one or maybe even two motors down; an extra inbuilt guarantee on your beloved copter.

The arms of the frame are colored as 2-red, 2-white, and 2-black which can guide you to fly in the right direction. The design allows the whole take-off weight to be controlled at about 1200-2400 gm.

The frame has a wheelbase of 550mm and weighs around 620gm. It features mounting tabs at the front and rear end on the bottom plate of the mainframe for mounting cameras and other accessories.

It comes with pre-threaded brass sleeves for all of the frame bolts, so attaching the arms to the mainframe is done within a few minutes. Also, it requires one size of bolt for the overall build and thus a unique one-size hex wrench which makes hardware mounting very convenient.
