This is the O4 Pro Version

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 extended bottom plate front. Everything else stays the same.

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 & 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 ERA DC instead.

I wanted a more or less universal drone, but I did something that sparked my interest in med-range flights ))

Customer photo review of ERA 5.5″ DC Frame Kit

Best DC 5+ inch frame ever! Great for my semi-long range cinematic build! The drone is flying great even though its build on some really old school motors and only 18650 4S. With AUW of 760g it can stay in the air for 15-20 minutes!

Customer photo review of ERA 5.5″ DC Frame Kit O4

It was really nice to build the frame which is very stiff, the build of the drone is not yet finished but it will be easy to make a clean build, with the ERA 5 DC is well designed. Guillaume M.

Lange habe ich auf die DeadCat Version gewartet, jetzt ist sie endlich angekommen und ich bin sehr zufrieden. Meine volle Empfehlung!

ERA 5.5″ DC Frame Kit O4

Erstklassiger Frame! Wenn die anderen Komponenten passen, fliegt das Teil einfach nur göttlich. Glasklare Empfehlung! 👍

ERA 5.5″ DC Frame Kit

Einfach nur überteuert für das was es kann. Selbst mit dem neuen Gyro für die DJI O4 Pro heißt es das man Pech hat und mit DJI sich auseinandersetzen soll. Wo andere Hersteller nach Lösungen suchen und auch anbieten.

ERA 5.5″ DC Frame Kit O4

Store owner replied: Hallo Erik, schade, dass der Frame deine Erwartungen nicht erfüllt hat. Der Preis ergibt sich aus der aufwendigen Konstruktion, hochwertigen Materialien, kleinen Stückzahlen sowie der langfristigen Ersatzteilversorgung. Das angesprochene Gyro-Problem liegt jedoch am Verhalten der DJI O4 Pro und lässt sich nicht zuverlässig durch den Frame lösen. Es handelt sich daher nicht um einen Defekt oder eine fehlende konstruktive Lösung des ERA 5.5″ DC. Wo wir technisch helfen können, unterstützen wir selbstverständlich. Eine Behebung dieses Problems können wir als Frame-Hersteller jedoch nicht versprechen.

Ate agora esta tudo bem, recebi tudo ok. Estou a espera de algumas pecas para terminar a build.

Best of the best if the price is no issue. In my opinion it worth that money!

ERA 5.5″ DC Frame Kit O4

Era un sueño tener este frame; cuando estaban las ordenes en pausa me entristecí, cada dia estaba viendo el sitio web cuando vi que se habian reanudado las órdenes, lo compre al instante. Muy buena frame.

ERA 5.5″ DC Frame Kit O4

Actually, it's a beautiful frame. It only makes sense to have propellers in the shot with a dead cat. Perhaps you can buy other arms later, like a 6" one, which is expensive, to solve the problem. It was similar to the 5" one and the cross.…
