Premium Controller with Quality Parts and Features Featuring F7 Processor and 45Amp BLheli32 with NewBeeDrone Smoov-certified hardware design that supports up to 3-6S batteries to provide the best and reliable quality and performance for either freestyle or racing.
Designed to support the DJI Air Unit. Though DJI Air Unit can only support up to 4S, the Cricket200 Stack can make the DJI Air Unit compatible with 6S batteries by providing a 9V 16W clean power for the DJI Air Unit.
Plug-and-Play. No need to solder tiny wires.* The Cricket200 Stack includes a bundle of wire to connect the Flight Controller and ESC and the wire to connect the Flight Controller to the DJI Air Unit.
*Only for full DJI systems. If you use Crossfire, you still need to solder.

This is the second time that newbeedrone has gotten me for a stack and it'll be the last. I'm not going to bother with an RMA either. 7 weeks of emails and they sent me back the same garbage last time Superbad customer service.

F7 stack that works, but lacking features for the price point.
I had an issue with both an ESC and FC from 2 different stacks I got, but NBD took care of me quickly. These are great for DJI builds because of plug and play but there are 3 things I'd change on this stack.
1. It needs a plug for the receiver IMO. If I don't have to solder the air unit then I don't want to solder a 3rd party receiver. Lose the 3rd ground on the plug give me RX1/TX1/G/5V that I can break out for expressLRS. or give me a second plug that I can use so I can avoid soldering on the FC altogether.
2. Give me some blackbox memory. This is the first time in a long time I bought an F7 flight controller with no blackbox memory. at least 8MB so it's easier for me to tune!
I have 2 of these stacks, so I'll be using them for a while. But part of me wishes I got the xrotor 20x20 stack instead.
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.
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.
