Catalyst Dopplebanger 5 Inch Freestyle FPV Frame
The Dopplebanger is an improved take on one of our most popular and proven freestyle frames, the Banggod.  We took the same fundamental design philosophy and added more rigidity, more functionality, less complexity, more options, and the ability to run all the current FPV video systems on the market today. Crash toughness has been increased while using the included front brace and optional rear brace. For those of you looking to keep the rig as light as possible you can now run without the front brace, whereas the Banggod forces you to use the front brace. The XT60 grommet passthrough has been moved to a more ideal location. Arm strength has been improved. A Gopro mount is now included as standard in the kit for use with full size GoPro 8/9/10/11 or GoPro ‘Bones’. All standard 3D STL printed parts and optional accessories are available for download from our site. This frame does not include a mount for your FPV antenna.
