itsFPV ERA 5.5-Inch DC O4 Frame Kit
Same ERA DC. Same deadcat geometry. Built specifically for the DJI O4 Pro camera with stock plastic housing. The larger O4 camera required a redesigned cage and an extended front bottom plate. Everything else stays the same.
NOTE:
- Frame kit only: Electronics, ELRS antenna holder, and action cam mounts are not included.
- O4 Pro version: This frame is for DJI O4 Pro with stock plastic camera housing ONLY.
- Color variance: SLS nylon color can vary slightly between production batches. Your cage may be lighter or darker than shown in the photos.
The Cinematic Cage (O4)
The O4 cage is manufactured through SLS (Selective Laser Sintering), not injection molding. Same nylon polymer, different process. SLS doesn't match the impact resistance of our injection-molded cages, but for cinematic work that's not the point. You're not hitting concrete walls. You're flying smooth lines.
Want props out of frame AND carefree bashing? Check out ERA Mini 3.5" (zero props on O4 Pro) or pair the standard ERA DC with our CNC Conversion Kit for injection-molded durability.
GoPro-style mounting system with a titanium M5 bolt. Stepless angle adjustment from -10° to 45°. No click-stops, no fixed increments. Set your angle with a 2.5mm hex key and it stays locked. Every pilot already has that tool.
Why 5.5" Props
Action cams keep getting heavier. The new GoPro Mission 1 Pro lands at 208g, a 1-inch sensor cinema cam that weighs about a third more than a Hero 13 and several times what a naked cam does. Put that on a standard 5" quad and you feel it in every corner, and flight times drop.
5.5" props give you the lift to carry a full-size GoPro without trading away the flight feel. More balanced, more responsive, longer flights. Still agile enough for dynamic lines.
Geometry and Handling
Deadcat layout pushes the front props out of your camera's field of view. No props in view, no post-cropping, no compromises on lens choice.
The longer top plate shifts weight distribution for better balance with front-mounted action cams. The result: smooth, predictable handling for tracking shots and proximity work.
Construction
Interlock V2 arm system. Arms lock in with a form fit, secured with a single screw. No slop, no play. Easy to swap if you ever need to.
Split deck design saves weight without losing rigidity. The cage bridges the structure, stiffening the entire chassis.
Material Standards
Same standards as ERA. No shortcuts. T700/T800 carbon mix with chamfered edges where it matters. 12.9 Grade YFS steel screws that don't strip. 7075 aluminum standoffs that don't bend. Titanium M5 bolt for the action camera mount – light, strong, won't seize.
What's Different On the O4 Version
- O4 Cinematic Nylon Cage: Redesigned for the larger DJI O4 Pro camera. SLS manufactured from the same nylon polymer.
- Extended Bottom Plate Front: Longer carbon plate to match the O4 cage dimensions.
- Updated 3D Prints: O4 VTX Dual Antenna Holder, new TPU camera inserts.
FAQ
Will it carry a full-size GoPro?
Yes. The GoPro-style mount and 5.5" props are built for full-size action cams, all the way up to the 208g GoPro Mission 1 Pro. Lighter and naked cams fit too.
Is 5.5" the same as a 5-inch frame?
It flies like a 5". Same agility, same feel. The extra prop disc just gives you the lift to carry a heavier camera and hold your flight time. A 5" that doesn't bog down under a full GoPro.
How is this different from the standard ERA DC?
This version is sized for the DJI O4 Pro with its stock plastic housing. The cage and front bottom plate are larger to fit the O4 camera. If you run O3, Vista, or Walksnail, or converted your O4 with our CNC kit, get the Standard 5.5-Inch DC ERA instead.
