PICKPOCKET ULTRALIGHT 5″ – Pick Your Color

See all of our BQE Products!

An oversized version of the popular Pickpocket Micro, the BQE Pickpocket Ultralight 5″ is one of the lightest frames available for 5-inch FPV builds. Designed for toothpick-style AIO flight controllers and nano FPV cameras, the Pickpocket is a truly light and trim beast. With a carbon weight starting at just $28.1\text{g}$, it’s pocket-sized, low-drag, and fast as hell.

Ultralight Performance This frame is engineered for maximum agility and efficiency. Its incredibly low weight provides an exceptionally “floaty” and responsive flight feel, perfect for both smooth freestyle and competitive racing where every gram counts. Build it as an ultra-light gate crusher, or throw a DVR setup on it for ripping tight gaps and close proximity flying.

Unmatched Component Versatility The Pickpocket 5″ offers incredible flexibility for your build. It’s designed for toothpick-style AIOs with $25.5\text{mm}$ to $26.5\text{mm}$ patterns but also has a standard $20\text{x}20\text{mm}$ stack position. The dual motor mounting pattern accepts both M3 on a $\varphi 16\text{mm}$ circle for standard 5″ motors and M2 on a $\varphi 12\text{mm}$ circle for lighter micro motors like the recommended 2004 size.
