Anyone knows any brand that produces minature size ardupilot drones. Around 100grams weight?

Anyone knows of any ardupilot minature quad drone?

There exists an ArduPilot target for this FC (STM variant): F4 1S 12A AIO Brushless Flight Controller V3 – BETAFPV Hobby

If you find a BetaFPV microdrone that uses this you can flash ArduPilot. Alternatively you can use any BetaFPV microdrone and swap the FCs.

Thank you for the information.

A quad that size would make a nice cheap-ish project to build from scratch, you could even design and 3d-print the frame.

Its such a shame that the Ardubee project never came to fruition.

Would be a great education/dev tool.

ArduBee – LuminousBees

There was a rumour that Philip at Hex got involved but haven’t heard anything since. Anyone know?

You can also replicate Geofrancis’ project but use a lighter battery.
It is not really miniature but it is probably possible to get it under 100g.

The v1 is 85g without a battery but the v2 is 60g without a battery so it could be built with a small 40g battery.

I have built a new v2 frame, basically having the propellers inverted was going to cause too many issues and one of the motor plates weren’t totally level, so I scrapped that frame and made a new one. I might do the inverted build for a v3 but i don’t think it will improve efficiency more than 3 or 4% especially with such thin arms. I also fed the motors through the top plate into the arms, this should be much stronger and looks much neater. The wire coming off it is for flashing the built-in r…

At LuminousBees we haven’t stopped innovating, this is
our new mini LumiBee dedicated to indoor drone light show, same weight plus a lot of new features

[dpapworth]

Is this available to purchase in small quantities? I would be interested in using it in education, so much lower quantities than typical drone light shows. @Giorgio_Rinolfi

[Giorgio_Rinolfi]

send me a PM, Yes it is possible that we sell it, but more than anything it depends on what you need to do with it, it doesn’t have the expandability of Ardubee because we use it for indoor drone shows.
