HOLYBRO X650 ARF Kit

HOLYBRO X650 Almost Ready-to-Fly (ARF) Kit – Robust UAV Platform for Custom Applications

The HOLYBRO X650 Almost Ready-to-Fly (ARF) Kit is a robust and versatile drone platform for professional development, research, and integration projects. The high-quality carbon fiber frame with foldable aluminum arm mounts provides a stable yet lightweight construction. Motors, ESCs, and LEDs are already pre-installed, allowing the drone to be assembled quickly without time-consuming soldering work.

The HOLYBRO X650 ARF Kit provides an ideal foundation for the custom integration of flight controllers, GPS systems, companion computers, sensors, cameras, and other payloads. Thanks to its generous mounting areas and integrated rail system, the platform can be flexibly adapted to a wide range of requirements.

Quick Assembly Without Soldering

The HOLYBRO X650 ARF Kit has been designed for particularly simple and time-saving assembly. The four drone arms are supplied with motors, ESCs, and LEDs already pre-installed. The components can be connected directly to the power distribution board using the integrated XT30 connectors.

This eliminates the need for time-consuming soldering of the propulsion components and allows the platform to be quickly prepared for further integration and commissioning.

Robust Carbon Fiber Frame

The HOLYBRO X650 V2 frame features a high-quality carbon fiber construction. The 20 mm carbon fiber tube arms are stabilized by newly developed foldable aluminum arm mounts. The design combines low weight with high mechanical strength.

The arms can be folded for easy transport. The reinforced landing gear is also made from carbon fiber tubes and features improved connectors for additional stability.

Generous Mounting Areas

The generously sized mounting areas of the HOLYBRO X650 provide ample space for additional hardware, batteries, and payloads. Cameras, sensors, and other electronic components can be installed on the upper mounting plate.

The platform also features prepared mounting holes for GPS systems and commonly used companion computers such as the Raspberry Pi 4 or Jetson Nano.

Flexible Rail System

The integrated rail system consists of two 10 mm diameter aluminum or metal rods, each measuring 320 mm in length. It enables flexible installation of various accessories, camera mounts, gimbals, and additional payloads.

This allows the HOLYBRO X650 to be quickly adapted to different applications and individual requirements.

Pre-Installed Propulsion System

The HOLYBRO X650 ARF Kit is supplied with four pre-installed T-Motor MN4014 KV330 motors and four Tekko32 F4 45A ESCs. Each arm is also equipped with a NeoPixel WS2812 LED. Power connections are provided via convenient XT30 connectors.
