Frame Overview

The 'HaloRC Kali' is designed to carry our range of naked cinematic cameras and when paired together provide the smallest cinematic camera platform there is. Perfect for slower paced shoots and close proximety, enhanced by its integrated prop guards that ensure the safety of your subject.

Over the last seven months we have designed and tested 4 completely different frame concepts and dozens of revisions. This rigorous process has enabled us to unlock the true potential of the Kali, optimizing its performance to deliver the best results.

The Kali has a smaller footprint than a typical 5 inch racer at just 25cm x 25cm. It uses 5 or 6 bladed 4 inch props to minimise the overal size while providing enough thrust for a stable platform with good control and extended flight times.

The Kali's small footprint is achieved by running the four propellors close to each other, with all your components mounted in the centre, just like a tiny whoop. The props are run in a pusher configuration without any obstruction to the thrust to maximise the effeciency.

To safeguard against any potential contact with the ground during takeoff and landing, the frame's center has been strategically lowered below the prop line. Crafted from aerodynamically shaped nylon12 parts, this ingenious feature not only creates additional room for your components but also serves as a secure landing platform. Nylon12 feet have also been thoughtfully integrated along the outer edges of the frame to effectively prevent any propeller strikes.

The prop guard rings are positioned in perfect alignment with the props themselves. Extensive testing has confirmed that this configuration not only provides optimal efficiency but also offers protection for your subject and/or surroundings.

The Kali showcases a single main carbon plate, measuring a robust 4mm in thickness, expertly cut at a precise 45-degree angle. This deliberate design choice ensures that the inherent strength and stiffness of the carbon material are fully harnessed along the arms, optimizing the frame's rigidity and ultimately elevating its flight performance to new heights.

A carefully crafted composition of multiple carbon parts in varying thicknesses creates the underside structure. This intelligent construction allows us to strategically allocate carbon material only where necessary, effectively reducing overall weight while simultaneously enhancing stiffness to its utmost potential.

An innovative feature integrated into the Kali's main plate is the inclusion of two SMA connector mounting points. These mounting points boast a unique shape engineered to securely lock both the SMA connectors and your antennae in place.
