I have read that this frame is a bit sloppy and not great for pro use but I have not noticed and issues with frame movement. The only problem that I had was fitting the frame fixings to the arms. The fitting are over sizes for the arms. I found that the only solution was to file down the top and bottom of the fixing so they fitted in side the arms. Not sure why Tarot are unable to machine these correctly! It would cost no more to do it right.. One really great feature was the surface mount cabling and the central power distribution box.

Well, Frame is really OK, but i wouldn't say its actually Good, well at least for its price.
For price tag i would expect something more rigid and stable. Everything is a bit wobbly.
Biggest drawback was that actual aluminum hands DO NOT FIT arm mounts, and you have to literally hummer them in what causes damage to it. At the beginning i thought its just one or two arms what are a bit too small for mounts, but it was actually with every single one. So they where designed too small. Rest of it is fine. all carbon fiber items are in great condition and shape.
