High ISO on those renderings ;-)

They all look good but I think looks is not even secondary, its not even on my list when designing something like this. I like the one you have that can land in water the most of any frame design I have ever seen, because it looks good without sacrificing performance for looks. Will the floater frame be available on your site? Or is it all made to order? I looked at what there was and only saw the electronics, no frame bits.

Hi ,

thanks for your feedback , Carlo are working on some upgrade to Option B at the moment .... I like a lot Option B , when we finish to collect some feedback we start to work on option that user in the network prefer and start to implement the component inside the drone :)

Thanks for your support

B looks to me to be the most High Tech Looking when it comes to design appeal.

The C are nice, if you could make it with duct fan and moving duct are pretty cool.

White one with straight arms would more preferable.

B is the closest to what I've been working on, so I would choose that one, especially if you make it fold up a bit for ground transport.

They are literally all good designs, very classy and very Italian.

The white one looks more like a solid UAV where as the others look more like elegant RC models.

I think the concentration on incorporating propeller defense rings is excellent, but where possible they should be easily removable.

The all black one in particular is very elegant for a mid sized design and the bumper ring could easily be designed to be removable (and replaceable if necessary for that matter).

For a small design the bottom one is very graceful and with a little work the rings could also be optional.

The DJI Phantom is a solid design already on the market but yours are all more interesting.
