Axisflying Manta5 SE V2 is a 5" freestyle drone with a good price/performance ratio. The drone is in Deadcat configuration, where the front arms are pushed further back, so the edges of the propellers are not visible in the FPV image. The drone includes a 3D printed mount for attaching a GoPro camera and a GPS module which is hidden under the mount. The GPS enables automatic return to the launch point and displays speed, distance, and direction to the launch point in the FPV image. The second version of the drone is equipped with plastic side panels that protect the electronics from dirt. The arms are milled from 6mm thick carbon for higher durability. The FPV camera is secured in aluminum side panels using rubber inserts to minimize vibration transfer.
The propulsion is provided by AE2505 V2 1750Kv motors and 60A ESCs with 32bit firmware. The flight controller uses a powerful H743 processor and two gyros ICM42688P. It also features 16MB memory for blackbox and an integrated barometer for altitude measurement. The image transmission is handled by an analog camera with a resolution of 1200TVL in combination with the Axisflying Smurfs V2 video transmitter with a power of up to 1.6W. The drone is equipped with an ELRS receiver operating at 2.4GHz.
Recommended batteries are 6S with a capacity of 1300–1800mAh.
