The iFlight Chimera7 is a 7.5" longrange frame designed to give maximum stability and flight time during your cinematic shoots.
Fly smooth lines on the waterfront all the way to the Swiss Alps if you want! Made from a super-stiff carbon for minimum resonance and recommended 2806.5 motors for maximum 7.5" prop control.
Fly big batteries top-mounted, or even bigger batteries bottom-mounted, 6 cells recommended or 5 cells for slow cruising. But whatever style you fly, a Lipo or Lion pack will do the job.

Upgrading your Chimera7 Pro V1?

Changelog
December 13, 2022: New silicone inserts have been designed to replace the TPU ones，which are holding the 03 cam in the side panels.
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.
I use this mont for all my builds with a DJI O3 system. It comes with all the hardware nessassery and I like how is provides a small gap between the frame and the air unit so you can run wires under it. With all that said, it is still very low profile to fit on builds that use short 20mm standoffs too.
This thing is really fun and I haven't had to touch the PIDs at all. Super maneuverable on high rates and really mellow on low rates. I'm teaching my six year old grandson how to fly and he's doing great with it then raise the rates and I doing freestyle in my livingroom. Top off the performance with Newbeedrones awesome customer service and you can't lose. Newbeedrone is now my go to site for whoop stuff.
