bengal
Fun, fast, friendly, and dependable.
A perfect frame for your first toothpick build.
Frame 1.15.7 (T700)
~€13
5000 HUF
Build for dirt cheap,
fly forever
Build your starter drone for as little as 100 Euros.
Or, go high-end with a DJI O4 Lite and 4K 60fps video.
Either way, this frame is a perfect start for a fun outdoor freestyle build.
Friendly and cute
Small, silent, and non-threatening. Less noise, less hassle, more fun.
Agile and fun
With 2.5 inch propellers, a Bengal can pack a surprising punch.
Very efficient
A light frame means long flights - up to 7 minutes on a 3S 550 mAh battery.
Great for exploring
Lost signal? No problem. Mount a GPS on the arm for peace of mind.
Built to endure
The Bengal's base plate is made of durable T700 carbon fiber. The sturdy TPU canopy protects the camera and lens against scratches.
Easy to upgrade
Start with analog, then upgrade to digital. The Bengal can stay in your fleet for a long time.
Always in stock,
forever supported
The Bengal’s entire design is open source. You can buy a Bengal from us, or download the designs for free and cut it yourself. This guarantees fair prices forever.
But it’s still better to buy from us! Thanks to bulk ordering, we can keep prices low — and when you buy directly, you also support the Bengal’s further development.

Suggested starter build
Flight controller
JHEMCU GHF722AIO-ICM 40A 2-6S
A cheap and well made AIO that can easily handle anything the Bengal's motors could ever need, and way more. Later, you could even reuse it in a bigger build.
Video transmitter (digital)
DJI O4 Air Unit (Lite)
The best quality VTX in this size, worth the high price. Handle carefully. Use side holes to mount the antenna, so that it doesn't overlap the camera's MIPI cable.
Video transmitter (analog)

A very light VTX, with great value for its price. Extensively tested and widely recommended.

A light Nano camera that works well for its price.
