Solid Frame

Apr 21, 2019

The GEP Mark 1 210mm is a pretty solid frame with good build quality and a nice box with good accessories. The instructions for assembling the frame were quite hard to decipher, which made the assembly rigorous, but I soon worked it out. It has plenty of vertical space for a F4 flight controller, big PDB, and a 4-in1 ESC. There is enough horizontal space to fit a 1300mAh, 4S battery. However, I would've like to have seen better protection of the FPV camera, I have a RunCam Swift 2 and it sticks out quite far from the front of the frame, this exposes the camera to a lot of potential damage in a rough crash.
Otherwise, I think this frame is pretty solid and works great for a 210 quad. The $A70 price tag is a big high though.

good frame but a few things to think about

Mar 16, 2018

Frame is quite strong and easily put together but bear in mind....
1. If building a tall stack (more than 2 boards) you may struggle to mount your fpv camera with enough angle on it unless you find a way to mount it further forwards.
2.design of pdb mount has changed slightly, positive being a lower mounting point, negative being the long metal screws provided which are intended for mounting the lower electronics board - might not be what you want.
3. Frame is cut very square and may give splinters
