Overview
DarwinFPV HULK III Mini Frame is a mini frame platform from DarwinFPV’s “HULK” series, designed around a roll-cage style structure for added protection of the battery area and float mounting positions. The series is described with an IP67 waterproof rating and uses 304 stainless steel screws for seawater resistance. Based on the CineApe 35 frame, HULK III Mini adopts a single-float design intended to maximize propeller airflow intake and reduce wind resistance for more stable flight in windy conditions.
Key Features
3K carbon fiber + 304 stainless steel fasteners
- Premium 3K-grade carbon fiber sheets for higher hardness and improved crash resistance.
- 304 stainless steel screws; described as remaining intact and rust-free after 72 hours of seawater immersion.
Dual protection structure
- High-strength carbon fiber frame combined with an automotive-inspired roll cage design to protect the battery compartment and float mounting positions.
- Injection-molded protective rings around the fuselage to help reduce minor scratch and bump damage.
Single-float design
- Single-float structure designed to avoid blocking propeller airflow intake while minimizing wind resistance for smoother footage capture and reduced power consumption.
- Described as capable of withstanding level-7 strong winds for offshore windy conditions.
Flexible installation
- Two battery mounting options: top or bottom.
- Water-based flights: attach floats on top and mount the battery at the bottom; described to automatically correct its “turtle position” (flip back to normal) after landing in water.
- Regular flights: remove floats and mount the battery on top.

Details

Built with premium 3K carbon fiber and 304 stainless screws for a tougher mini frame and improved corrosion resistance.

A rigid carbon structure pairs with a roll-cage layout and protective rings to help reduce everyday bumps and crash damage.

The single-float layout helps keep prop airflow clear while reducing drag for steadier flight in windy conditions.

Choose top or bottom battery mounting to match your setup, including float-ready configuration for water-based flights.

Key dimensions and mounting patterns are listed for quick compatibility checks with stacks, VTX, motors, and props.

Everything needed to assemble the frame is included, from carbon plates and guards to hardware, TPU mounts, and battery straps.
