Overview
The DarwinFPV BabyApe III Pro is a 3.5 inch FPV drone frame designed for compact, lightweight builds. It uses a Wide-X layout with a one-piece molded arm structure and a compact plate stack to support a nimble freestyle setup while keeping overall build weight in the sub-250 g class (depending on installed electronics and battery).
Key Features
- Compact, portable platform: intended for quiet, easy-to-carry small FPV builds for locations such as parks, yards, and camping use.
- T300 carbon fiber frame: manufacturer notes a one-piece carbon fiber body and a rubber paint coating for a smooth surface texture.
- Dedicated battery roll cage protection: helps secure the battery during crashes; noted fit range is 16–20 mm wide batteries. Other sizes can be mounted externally; cable tie holes are reserved on the base plate.
- Multiple VTX space options: supports analog VTX, DJI O4 Pro VTX, or a no-VTX configuration (space allowance depends on installed components).

Details

Built for compact, easy-to-carry 3.5-inch builds that stay nimble for everyday freestyle sessions.

A Wide-X layout and T300 carbon fiber construction keep the frame light while staying crash-ready for training and freestyle.

T300 carbon fiber is selected for a strong, durable core, paired with a smooth rubberized surface finish.

A dedicated battery roll cage helps keep packs secure in crashes and reduces strain on balance leads.

Choose an analog setup, a DJI O4 Pro VTX build, or run without a VTX depending on your space and component plan.
