TBH - never ask steele about something new, he seems to just like what he is used to and comfortable with. hey I get that, i dont change things that work for me either - call me grumpy old man 😉
Yes, I lost so much respect for Steele when he totally contradicts his ideas at every turn, first no 6s then never going to fly DJI
he likes what he is invested in mostly. If he doesn't make money on it he likely wont pay much attn
Good one, 'man. I'm working on a AOS35 build. Money is tight ATM...
The new AOS5 and 5.5 look much better now.
Awesome looking frame indeed, Jon! 😃
Great review!!!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thanks, you too!
Awesome Jon 🤙🏼 flight footage looks smooth. 👍🏼👍🏼 funny seeing you guy all bundled up like it’s cold.lol. Hi 40’s at night. Shoot that spring weather. Lol.
lol, man, my fingers were frozen solid that night
Fun review of what I have no doubt is a smooth flyer. I fly kiss on Apex frames, love it. But I'd try the aos 5.5 on my next build. I'm actually more interested in the aos 7, I want to build an INAV cruiser and it looks pretty good. Happy flying Jon E5 👍🤓
Yup, I built on this frame, well, not this one but the 5inch version... Smoothest flyer I've ever built. The AOS5 and 5.5 are out in the v2 now... Available in different coloured carbon and even better resonant performance and a stronger arm design for thoes frontal impacts. In fact such good resonant performance that Chris suggests that you may be able to turn off the dynamic notch filter if the build is sound with no flapping or waving wires.... But that's with the v2.
I don’t get why this frame gets so much hate on how it looks… I personally think it looks awesome
Steele never said anything negative. He said yes the quad flies great!, all quads fly great now. All I percived from the mr steele video was criticism regarding the frame design and the practicality of it and that was the five inch not the 5.5 your enthusiastic about in this video review.
AOS flies like nothing else
I've bashed the shit out of my AOS5 and it's held up better than the Moongoat and Shocker Tank I had before it. The moongoat camera cage was the weak link and on the tank the rear arms and top plate cracked. On the AOS I've only dented the carbon despite having harder hits for sure. The chin under the camera plate is more sturdy, we'll see what happens when I hit the camera directly. Something about the way it distributes loads is just better. Function over form so who cares what it looks like.
Thx for your comment, been looking for Info on the AOS5 durability everywhere but few people seem to realy bash it
I think the boxy look is what makes it look so "blah" aesthetically. Would be nice to see it spiced up a little, but it does seem to accomplish what it was set out to do, which is to fly smoothly.
Like your video!
What props did you use?
TBF - Mr Steele has a right to his opinion… and it’s okay for others to have their own opinions too…
I've had it since release, actually had 2 of the 5.5 frames so far. Only problem I've had besides breaking an arm was the camera plates.. they break pretty easy in a head on crash and your dji cam gets destroyed
Good notes, the shape is offering some protection, but perhaps the plates themselves are too thin. Catalyst banggod/shocker, is similar, but the cage plates are larger, and they extend further with the brace offering added protection as well.
@@JonE5FPV true that ill look into them, I would love to see you review the new gravity loss titanium pro frame that just came out looks like a beast
For that some TPU or PLA Print might help stop the lateral Carbon ends from fraying. Are there any prints on that? I coulnt find one.
Camera plates imo, are just a horrible idea when they go past the stand offs. Imo the camera should always be behind the Standoffs.
@@POLARISFPV you right
*casually chillin with the tag still on your hat*
At mayhem some one asked me what kinds shorts I was wearing. Reach in the pocket and pulled out the tag that was still on them and handed it to them. Never seem to take ‘em off
The arm style reminds me of the Tinyhawk Freestyle. When everyone is trying to shave a little here, improve a little there, this frame is going to reduce the vibrations being fed to the gyro, so it's shaving a little off there. If you fly like Steele which is incredibly skilled, but I like to call it a flying seizure, I don't know if a few vibrations are going to matter a whole hell of a lot. Maybe they do? I can't fly like that so what do I know? I can fly smooth and vibrations are a problem with that type of flight. Especially if you're not using stabilization.
Sandlot reference was awesome LOL. Did you forget to remove the tag on your beanie?
Steele said it flew like every other frame he had ever flown...... For that very statement I'll stick with my open source inexpensive frame.
Looks good but I cannot help but think this frame reminds me of something, hmm... 🤔 Anyways I'm in love with my Catalyst Machineworks banggods I have 2 of them and those frames protect your camera/vtx incredibly well. Lets face it Vista/DJI camera setups are the most expensive part of a build now and if your a freestyle bando flyer or just crash as much as I do LOL you will love this frame too 👍
Frame is insanely good, I have 3 of them now. Make sure you use plenty of grease :) Also i rebuilt my iflight 7" into an AOS 7". Would be cool to see you switch over to it for two weeks and give us your thoughts on it.
how does it crash?
I am building one at the moment... Do you recommend any TPU parts to increase the durability of for example the exposed Camera Cage ?
@@userunknown2771 I have yet to have a head on impact, on the camera cage, but I can see the plates potentially being an issue. So far it can handle being knocked around as well as anything else I have. I use to fly 2 x Armattan Badger frames, my AOS 5 and 5.5 builds have replaced using those frames. I've tried to limit the use of TPU parts as much as possible, anything that could build up vibration and keep the build as streamline and tight as possible. I could see a TPU front bumper on the cage being a useful addon. In regards to building and replacing arms, it's not all that bad. Id happily trade a few mins on the ground of extra work for improved performance in the air.
I’m flying badgers too, would you still stick with the aos 5.5 after being flying badgers and where do you see the most performance? Cheers mate.
Does the AOS 7" fly better than the iFlight 7"? I currently own the iFlight v4 but I cannot get rid of the yellow in my Session 5 video. Hope to solve that with a switch to the AOS7".
The 7" aos is nice
fo sho!
@@Serg666xxx no sir. I had one I bought off the fpv market.
THX M8 ... I'm looking at the 7"Falcon ... what you think about that? ¶ : - )
Fpvcycle glide for the win. Practical, and strong. Get back to me when you make the aos easier to work on, and take that stupid little arm key on the apex, and throw it in the trash. I cannot get the arms to stay tight on that frame to save me. Each to their own. Both Rosser, and Steele are dope. You should try them all, and decide for yourself. There is plenty of room in FPV for everyone.
Agree, many really love the glide, which i agree is the best bang for the buck. Personally i like the apex, badger and banggod the best, but those also cost a lot more.
I prefer less mass for Aerodynamics n Aesthetics Reasons! Great Track Pal! What is the id? is not in your links..
I was there that day in the background the guy who owned the kwad was urked how about the player 1?
It is kind of funny how things happen sometimes. I just watched your video on the TX12 and I was thinking about how I could only see it as a low end radio but then when you compare it to the Zorro, a radio that I consider to be mid/high end I realized that feature for feature the Zorro and the TX12 are pretty close. Same gimbals, same OS, that is basically the radio there plus the actual transmitter parts and I might suspect that they are both similar there as well... My point is that before the Zorro I knew about the TX12 but did not think it would be something I would want yet I was kind of drooling over the Zorro when it first came out and if they ae essentially the same then why do I like one but not the other?
So bias is an interesting thing and I do appreciate people saying things like "their not going to hate on something before they try it..." but Steele still downplayed the frame a bit as well. My point is that we should have a goal - I want to have the best freestyle experience or I want to get the best cinematic video and then find the parts that help you realize that goal. Sometimes we will end up ignoring what is best for us and turn it down. Why would we do such a thing? So back to this frame - it was designed to have the lowest resonance and vibrations and it would seem that it does.
But someone commented that we have Hypersmooth and other softwares that does the same thing so who cares? That is a good question. Is this design solving something that software has solved or is there still a good reason to want the absolute smoothest flying frame possible? I have to imagine that for some situations it could matter.
Anyway that is what I was thinking and it was funny that bias was something that both videos made me think about. Cheers
Dude! Your killing us OCD people with the missing screws on the beauty shots! Otherwise, excellent video.
Ahhh. I took some footage during the build. Didn’t take into account the detail oriented. Rest assured all screws are in place now sir.
i ordered the 7inch mantis, because there is almost no single frame out here whithout noise out of the box. i miss the 20x20 holes in the x-subplate, which would really be no problem to cut out. ;-) i dont know why Chris did this not. stability? does this make such a difference? if yes, lets go to 3mm. the other thing is, i dont knoe why the 5inch version has the stack out of COT? i also would have ordered the 5.5. because i want the FC in the middle, Air unit in front. Rear is for GPS, RX. i wonder how Armattan will react to this with the new coming frames. there is just not much left to do any better. Mr Steel dont like it? yeah, understand, for sure. i would hate it so much also .....
Any link to the gopro print something similar but for a hero 7?
If I wanted this exact build but I don’t know how to build drones how would that work?
Wait ...That was Mr. Steel? I thought that was Rick James ...🤣
So it is a long range frame? That would make sense if it not for hard free styling.
😁
:P
how flick able is it on roll and pitch is it just more a cruising frame
i think the extra space makes it more stable, so it can still flick pretty well because of all the power, but its a longer rotation, so if you want to turn fast as possible, may be better off with the 5" proper. difference would still be fairly small, i personally like being able to mount in the center more than that feature.
great video! can anyone link me the video to mr. steel? i can't seem to find it
Thanks!

@@JonE5FPV wow his video sucks! stock PIDs and that zip-tied gopro mount ruined his review for me .. why have a "perfect" noise free frame and then not care about the gopro mount not flapping around? @5:22 (mr. steel video)
Steele says he could fly anything🤷🏼♂️ V2 sure is an awesome build, tons of room
Label on the hat topic is still opened 🤣
lol, i just checked, label still intact, still mint condition.
Flash news! Steele is jelly and hating stuff 🙈
He ain’t wrong though 😅
The AOS 5.5 is completely different than AOS 5 that Steele flew. AOS 5 is nightmare to build and hands go inside the frame. So basically, you and Steele reviewed 2 different frames. Try building AOS5 and then you'll understand what he was talking about. :) Name AOS is same but frames are totally different.
Hold on. Are the frame files available to download??
no, but cnc drones will cut them for you.
@@JonE5FPV ah ok!
I have to give it to steel on it being a ugly frame
Def not the prettiest, i gotta agree there as well. But it is smooth.
LOL!! is not about how it looks or how simple or complex it is, is about how it PERFORMS!!.
Whaaaat? Dude this isn’t the frame he was talking about y’all be half an inch out! 😅
close enough!
@@JonE5FPV 😅🤜🏻🤛🏻👍
I broke 2... so EOL frame
its not the prettiest of frame but the easiest to tune frame. so yah i have the smaller 3.5 aos, and i fly it regularly.
Steele was protecting his money! Why do people worship this guy. Great pilot, Apex, awesome but there is money involve.
I only heard good stuff about this frame if only it wasn't so boring looking I'd jump on it.
Pretty good description, function over from. But sometimes you want something that looks good enough to just stare at it.
@@JonE5FPV 💯
The best frame is unibody, period. But too expensive. Replaceable arms are much cheaper, ease of repair and more profitable (manufacturing wise in niche market). Especially claimed designed by some aero engineer. One thing i agree with Steele is more fasteners make it worse - duh.
FYI all FPV drone frames are designed to break! - fact. That is how the industry grow. Because cheap frames were designed to protect the more expensive parts i.e. fpv system and electronics, at the same time healthier for hobbyists.
Ofkos frame design is based on the designer's goal - claimed to achieve.
Even cfd can't compute any assembly, but one piece.
Smooth is a preference, a non-structural related and any mechanical instruments with moving parts have resonances, oscillations and vibrations. Tune it.
2¾¢
Oh I can't stand slammed frames, too much dinking around to set them up
it does require a bit more thought building, so i tend to agree with you.
@@JonE5FPV Was your build greased on all the joints? That adds a ton more fiddling to it. but IIMO it's worth the effort.
I don’t spend a bunch of time looking at my frame as I fly, who cares if it’s ugly? 🤣
Frame might fly well but it’s ugly AF
