FlyFishRC Volador II VX5 O4 Pro FPV Frame for 5-inch Freestyle
FlyFishRC Volador II VX5 O4 Pro is a 5-inch FPV frame in a Squashed X layout, designed for freestyle and quad building with the DJI O4 Air Unit Pro system.
The design is based on T700 carbon fiber plates, CNC aluminum components and refined TPU parts. This is the basis for a pilot who wants to build a stiff, clean, and mechanically resistant FPV setup without struggling with chaotic cable routing.
• Squashed X System - a frame configuration focused on control and predictable quad handling in freestyle flight.
• DJI O4 Air Unit Pro Compatibility - the frame has been prepared for the installation of a modern HD FPV system.
• T700 Carbon Fiber Plates - a material selected for high stiffness and resistance to loads typical of freestyle flights.
• 6mm Arms - thick arms help reduce deflection and improve the structure's resistance to impacts.
• 19mm / 20mm Camera Spacing - supports popular HD and analog FPV camera formats.
• Silicone Pads for the O4 camera - reduce vibrations and help limit the jello effect in DVR recordings.
• Integrated space for the XT60 - facilitates safe power cable routing and reduces the risk of snagging the propellers.
• 20x20 mm and 30.5x30.5 mm stack mounting holes - the frame fits popular FPV stacks in mini and standard sizes.
• 20x20 mm and 25.5x25.5 mm VTX mounting holes - facilitate the installation of HD and analog video systems.
• 12.9 grade hardware with pre-applied thread adhesive - improves the reliability of screw connections in structures exposed to vibration.
Who is this frame for?
• Are you building an FPV quad? inches for freestyle.
• You want a frame for the DJI O4 Air Unit Pro system.
• You need a rigid structure with 6 mm arms.
• You want a clean installation of electronics, antennas, cables, and XT60.
• You use a 20x20 mm or 30.5x30.5 mm stack.
• You want a frame with support for 19 mm and 20 mm FPV cameras.
Who is it NOT for?
• This is not a deadcat frame - if the priority is the lack of propellers in the frame, the VD variant will be a better choice.
• This is not a ready-made drone - it requires separate selection of electronics, drive, camera, VTX, receiver, propellers, and battery.
• This is not a frame for a microquad or cinewhoop - the design is intended for 5-inch class.
• This is not a kit with electronics - the product includes a frame, not a complete PNP or BNF kit.
Volador II VX Design - Squashed X
The VX version uses the Squashed X geometry. In practice, this means a design focused on control, symmetrical behavior in freestyle maneuvers, and good predictability during aggressive flying.
Compatibility with DJI O4 Air Unit Pro
The frame has been prepared for the installation of the DJI O4 Air Unit Pro system. The manufacturer has used silicone damping elements under the O4 camera to reduce the transfer of vibrations from the structure to the camera.
This is especially important in freestyle builds, where the frame is subjected to heavy loads, and vibrations can degrade image quality and cause a jello effect in recordings.
Stiffness, T700, and Resonance Reduction
The Volador II VX5 O4 Pro uses T700 carbon fiber plates. The arms are 6 mm thick, and the top, middle, and bottom plates are 2.5 mm each.
The manufacturer has used a tightly fitted structure and an additional 5 mm thick keystone element to reduce frame resonance. For the pilot, this means a more stable base for filter and PID tuning in Betaflight and a reduced risk of vibration problems.
Clean assembly and cable protection
The frame features integrated routing for the XT60 connector at the rear of the structure. This helps reduce the risk of the power cable being cut by the propellers during a crash.
The build kit also includes TPU parts and protective tubes for the engine cables. This is important for a freestyle frame, where the arm cables are often exposed to contact with the ground, branches, concrete, or obstacles.

Is this frame compatible with DJI O4 Air Unit Pro?
Yes. The VX5 O4 Pro is prepared for the DJI O4 Air Unit Pro and uses silicone damping elements for mounting the O4 camera.
Are the propellers visible in the frame in this frame?
This is a Squashed X frame, not a deadcat. If keeping propellers out of the frame is a priority, consider the VD variant. The VX is focused on control and freestyle.
Which stack fits the Volador II VX5?
The frame supports stacks with a mounting spacing of 20x20 mm and 30.5x30.5 mm using M3 screws.
Which FPV cameras can be mounted in this frame?
The frame supports cameras in 19 mm and 20 mm formats. The manufacturer indicates compatibility with analog and HD systems.
Is this a complete FPV drone?
No. It's a frame kit. Building a drone requires individually selected components, such as a flight controller, ESC, motors, propellers, a video system, an RC receiver, and a battery.
The manufacturer distinguishes between the VX and VD series: VX is a Squashed X configuration, while VD is a deadcat system, designed for pilots who want to limit the visibility of the propellers in the frame. This model is therefore a freestyle choice rather than a strictly cinematic one.
Avifly Expert Tip: When building a 5-inch freestyle quad, it's worth planning the XT60 cable, motor cables, and antennas before final assembly of the frame. In this class of drone, a clean assembly significantly reduces the risk of cutting the cables after the first strong bend.
