The Axisflying KOLAS 7″ is the company’s second folding FPV frame kit. While the KOLAS 6 adopt a vertical folding mechanism, the new Kolas 7 horizontal one. Axisflying claims that the volume of the drone is reduced by 40% when folded, making it travel-friendly. It has two versions: Standard (analogue FPV) and Air Unit (HD Digital).
Intended for long-range aerial shootings, the Axisflying KOLAS 7 comes with GPS and GoPro 10 mounts. The frame is made from T700-type carbon fibre, and it has 2.5mm top and bottom plates, respectively 6mm arms. It can be equipped with brushless motors with 16x16mm or 19x19mm mounting patterns.
Axisflying recommends using their iStack F722 DJI FC + 50A ESC on the KOLAS 7 FPV drone. Both the flight controller and VTX can have a 20x20mm or 30.5×30.5mm mounting pattern.
For 7″ and larger FPV drones is recommended to use 6S LIPO batteries. You can opt for 1800-2600mAh LIPO packs for freestyling or VTV6 3000-4000mAh 8650 LiIon packs for long-range flights.
