DolphinRC Nightingale X5 5inch FPV Drone Frame Kit

Introducing the Nightingale FPV Frame Kit: Not Just Another Carbon FrameI fly a lot of cinematic runs, and I’ve always wanted a frame that felt as good as the footage it helps capture. Nightingale started with that idea: We didn’t just build a cinematic frame; we created a piece of art. The Nightingale features a revolutionary Ceramic-White finish infused with sparkling Pink Particles. It doesn’t just look different; it feels different. When you hold it, the finish is warm and smooth—a stark contrast to the rough texture of traditional frames. It’s distinct, stylish, and ready to stand out on the flight line.

We built it to be tough and easy to keep flying. The T700 full plate and 6 mm arms give the stiffness you want for smooth pans. The one-screw arm locks, receiver bay, and external parameter port mean less time in the workshop and more time in the air. And because I lose gear sometimes, the buzzer and bright RGB modes make finds and night flights worry-free.

Key Features & Innovations

1. Built to Crash, Easy to Fix

• Heavy-Duty Carbon: We use premium T700 carbon fiber with 6mm thick arms. It’s rigid, locks in your tune, and handles crashes like a tank.

• Quick-Release Arm Design: Snapped an arm hitting a ghost branch? The quick-release design lets you swap an arm by removing just two screw. You’ll be back in the air before your battery cools down.
• CNC Camera Protection: Your lens is the most expensive part of your rig. Our thickened High-Strength Aluminum Alloy cage keeps your O4 Pro, Walksnail, or Analog camera safe from head-on impacts.
  

1. The Ultimate Night-Flight Rig

• Integrated RGB System: This isn’t just an add-on. The frame features customizable RGB side panels (breathing, flashing, solid modes) and a built-in high-decibel buzzer. If you go down in high grass, you will find this quad.

• Glow-in-the-Dark TPU: The foot pads and arm protectors are made from luminescent TPU that glows naturally in the dark, paired with the RGB panels to create incredible light trails.

   

1. Cinematic Flight (Deadcat)

• No Props in View: The classic Deadcat layout pushes the front arms wide, ensuring your HD footage is clean and prop-free. Perfect for smooth, cinematic lines.
• Adjustable FOV: The camera cage slides forward and backward, letting you dial in the perfect protection-to-view ratio depending on your lens size.

1. Quality of Life Improvements

• The “Lazy” Tuning Port: We built a universal parameter adjustment port right into the frame. You don’t need to strip the drone to plug in your USB cable. Tune your PIDs or VTX settings instantly.
• Clean Builds, High Compatibility: Even with the sleek side panels installed, the Nightingale fits 90% of stacks and VTXs on the market.
• GPS & RX Logic: Features a dedicated receiver bay for clean antenna routing and dual GPS mounting options to eliminate magnetic interference.

Who is the Nightingale For?

1. The Cinematic Content Creator

   The Vibe: They fly smooth lines, chase drift cars, or film real estate. They hate seeing propellers in their footage.

   Why they want the Nightingale:

   Deadcat Geometry: Ensures pristine, prop-free 4K video.

   Rigidity: The 6mm arms and T700 carbon minimize resonance and vibration (Jello), making stabilization in Gyroflow/ReelSteady much easier.

    

2. The “Night Owl” & Light Painter

   The Vibe: They meet up in parking garages or parks after sunset. They love LEDs and long-exposure photography.

   Why they want the Nightingale:

   RGB Integration: The frame is a light show out of the box. The white paint reflects the LED colors better than black carbon, making the whole drone glow.

   Safety: The high-decibel buzzer and glowing TPU make recovery in the dark significantly easier.

    

3. The Style-Conscious Pilot

   The Vibe: They care about how their setup looks. They color-coordinate their props, motors, and radio strap. They post “Build of the Day” photos on social media.

   Why they want the Nightingale:

   Unique Aesthetic: The white/pink particle finish is a massive differentiator. It looks premium and customized right out of the box.

   Tactile Feel: The smooth “work of art” finish appeals to those who appreciate high-end gadgets.
