The ApexDC EVO is a variation on the typical 'dead cat' frame which we have modified to keep the front and rear motors aligned, allowing us to maintain the much loved compressed-x geometry in the motor layout.

This ensures the frame remains balanced and flight characteristics are not compromised, unlike the classic 'dead cat' design which moves the rear motors closer to the body and severely impacts handling.

Compatible with DJI O3, the EVO version brings improvements such as a redesigned aluminum camera mount, isolation of the HD video system or optimized protection for the many HD and analog cameras on the market thanks to the pivoting TPU inserts.

Once installed, the HD video system and mounting hardware will be electrically isolated from the chassis with mylar insulation, all for only 0.5g of additional weight.

Features:

Camera Mount

Included with the Apex EVO is a newly redesigned aluminium camera mount and 3D printed isolation inserts. This keeps the camera firmly locked in place and reduces vibrations, whilst ensuring it is electrically isolated from the frame.

With the many different HD and analog cameras on the market there is a large variation between models in the distance from the front of the lens to the mounting bolts. To give the camera the best possible protection, whilst also keeping the frame out of shot, it is critical to be able to adjust the position of the camera forwards and backwards within the frame.

By rotating the TPU inserts 180 degrees, as well as alternating between using the upper or lower bolt as the pivot point, the EVO camera mount has 4 possible mounting positions each 2mm apart.

Apex Arm Design

By modifying only the upper and lower main plates we retained full compatibility with regular Apex arms, using standard 5" arms at the front and standard 6" arms at the back. There are no props in shot of DJI HD flight cameras and for slower cinematic flying it's now possible to run GoPro angles lower than ever before.
