3DR Quad Zero Kit
The 3DR Quad Zero drone is a sub-250g focused on ultralight payloads and extended flight times (1hr). This kit is perfect as a development platform, educational or even a light show drone - light fixture coming soon!
We provide a full build guide for Ardupilot and PX4, for beginners and experienced builders alike here. We developed a telemetry radio around this platform to enhance its "developer platform" character, as it provides the hardware to include external sensors and send information over custom MAVLink messages, or on the contrary use those messages to push commands to any actuator without disrupting the flight stack or the autopilot's pinout.
Update: The kit is now equipped with ExpressLRS, replacing the previously included FrSky R-XSR radio receiver. Should your order require the FrSky receiver, we can offer the R81 V2 receiver as a fully compatible alternative. The R81 V2 supports FrSky D8/D16 and Futaba SFHSS protocols and offers a range suitable for a wide variety of RC modelers. For further inquiries or to request this alternative, please contact us at info@3dr.com.
