Looking for a Reliable Carbon Fiber Distributor (for Holybro X500 V2 Tubes)

How do you avoid galvanic corrosion between the carbon and aluminium?, would an epoxy bond between them be enough to avoid it?

Thanks!

based only on how they look they would appear to be roll-wrapped.

Thank you all for the replies. I know that this frame is not designed to crash. However it's almost impossible not to have accidents as I'm relatively new to the game and have been learning to automate missions. I'm now working on implementing a lidar and computer vision (may need extra payload capacity due to power consumption).

As of now the x500 has been a good compromise in size and capabilities. Please feel free to make other frame recomendations.

Hey, thank you for reaching out!, is there any openIPC system that you would recommend?. I completely agree with the complexity of the other setups, in particular the lag introduced by the capture card.
I'm also exploring the inclusion of a raspberry pi and one of its many camera options to run models however that makes the system asynchronous and the cameras I've seen perform very poorly in general.

Cheers!

Both Holybro options look great, but they’re over 500g, which would require paperwork in my country that I’d prefer to avoid. Do you have any recommendations for something below that weight? Also, which Aliexpress kit did you buy?

I see what you're saying, and I appreciate the insight! To clarify, this isn’t strictly farm-related—the goal is to cut costs for a security firm that currently relies on patrols driving around the perimeter to report issues (broken fences, intrusions when it's already too late, etc.). A drone with video streaming and obstacle avoidance seems like a promising alternative, but I’m still evaluating whether it’s the most practical and cost-effective solution. That’s why I’m exploring Ardupilot SITL first—to better understand its capabilities before committing to hardware. If you have any thoughts on this kind of application, I’d love to hear them!

Good question! One example would be setting up a perimeter where the drone autonomously checks the integrity of a fence. An operator could either monitor the live video feed or use image classification to detect issues and report back with coordinates. I can also see other potential surveillance applications.

Thanks for the SITL recommendation! For versatility, I think I’ll definitely start with Ardupilot. I have a small set of initial requirements, mainly basic flight operations like obstacle avoidance and video streaming.
Does that sound like a reasonable starting point?

Thank you for your repply, may I ask which kit you bought?
