TBS Source One V5 7 inch Deadcat Frame

Meet the TBS Source One V5, the community’s go-to 7-inch open-source frame designed for long-range freestyle and cruising. This frame is the result of a unique collaborative project initiated by Team BlackSheep to provide a durable, affordable, and high-performance platform for all FPV pilots. Featuring a “Deadcat” geometry for a prop-free view and robust 6mm arms, it’s the perfect everyday workhorse for your long-range FPV drone.

The People’s FPV Frame

The SOURCE ONE project is a first-of-its-kind effort to empower FPV creators and makers. The frame design is open-source, allowing for rapid integration of best practices and current trends. This philosophy provides pilots with direct, inexpensive access to a fantastic frame, built to perform and last without a premium price tag.

Built for Long-Range & Freestyle

This 7-inch frame is engineered for adventure. The “Deadcat” (DC) arm configuration pushes the front arms further back, ensuring your propellers are completely out of the view of your HD camera, which is essential for capturing immersive long-range footage. The massive 6mm thick arms are built to withstand the harsh crashes and abuse that can happen on long-range missions.

A Versatile & Builder-Friendly Platform

The Source One V5 is designed to be a reliable foundation for your FPV drone kit. It features versatile mounting options for both 30.5×30.5mm and 20x20mm flight controller stacks, accommodating a wide range of drone parts. The kit comes complete with all the high-quality hardware you need for a solid build.
