The SOURCE AUREO is an ultralight 7" frame, made for pilots who crave for range. Made with a rohacell like material sandwiched between 2 layers of carbon, the result is a super lightweight 7" frame - @49.5g. It fits and protects all the up-to-date components and is optimized for range. The SOURCE AUREO is your perfect long range cruiser, and is recommended for pro pilots only.
ABOUT THE PROJECT
The SOURCE AUREO project is a collaborative FPV frame project initiated by Team BlackSheep. The frame is donated to the community to empower creators and makers, and integrate best practices and current trends faster into a continuously manufactured product. In return, it allows the local distribution network to have cheap and direct access to a good frame in order to allow them compete in an increasingly predatory marketplace.
The hope is for this frame to enable broad access to FPV thanks to a low price point, great documentation and wide availability of compatible parts and accessories, without violating other people’s intellectual property.
when i received mine the box and everything was not damaged but when i opened it the canopy was cracked and the VTX did not work when i tried my first battery. I'm alright with the vtx being DOA as all i really wanted was the motors and beeeye camara, But when i reached out to customer service i was blamed for crashing it (even tho i never flew it). beware the QC is total garbage. save your money and buy a Mobula6 from a reputable company like GetFPV for RDQ's. I wasn't going to write a review but after the email i received i don't want anyone else getting scammed.
Darren excelled in selecting the development kit and essential accessories that would have to purchase separately, ensuring I made an informed purchase. His attention to detail and dedication prevented any post-purchase disappointment. I am thoroughly pleased and grateful for his exceptional service.
An absolute pleasure to fly. Handles incredibly well and responds to any input just as I expected.
The only criticism is not of the performance of the drone. Unfortunately, it arrived with damage to the canopy. But I was still able to fly it and make initial observations.
Update process is cumbersome, better if done with the VTX out of the quad. Also the update port is much flimsier than the earlier 2 antenna versions, IMO.
