KD Drones KD7 Cinelifter Frame

Overview:
KD7 is a 7" X4/X8 cinelifter (both options from the same frame kit) designed to carry a BM 4KG2, Red Komodo, Sony FX6, Freefly Ember, etc. It has a unique I-beam design made of vertical arms clamped between two continuous plates. This creates an insanely strong and stiff structure, while packing a huge number of features into a frame of only 263g.

KD7 has KDCM Lite mounting holes in three positions, KDCM/DAC camera mount holes in the middle, and naked BM mounting holes on top. You can go down to zero degrees with no props in view on a 7.5mm lens on the 4KG2. The battery can be top or bottom mounted for great CG balance, lower moment of inertia and a more compact rig. For bottom mounting, you can buy a KD Battery Plate to protect the battery and act as landing gear. There is a lot of space inside, with an abundance of mounting holes, zip tie slots, and easy access to USB ports. For more information, check out their YouTube page here.
