Wow. The first product from NBD I didn’t like.

It’s a decent frame, but clearly someone was trying to get fancy with Solidworks. So let’s start there. As someone who designs frames, and 3D printed parts, I feel as this frame tries to be everything to everyone. You can install a Vista, or in my case a full sized DJI air unit. But I get the feeling it’s not best for all of them. Like, the DJI air unit already has issues with antennas popping out. And it seems this frame only amplifies that with the air unit mounting rails. And I don’t even know what’s going on with the TPU antenna holders. And there is no way to take the top plate off without dismantling the whole front camera cage. This is why I started off by saying someone was getting fancy with Solidworks. It didn’t need that cutout for those dog ears to lock the whole thing together. Engineering for the sake of engineering. So, I recommend on a full sized air unit, buy the DJI antennas without the 90deg angle and run them straight out the back. That’s why I’m back on the site, so I figured I’d write a review.
