HMF-SL300 Tilting Motors Quadcopter Frame Review from GearBest
The HMF-SL300 has tilting motors to move the quadcopter forward and backward instead of tilting the entire quadcopter. This allows for the FPV camera to point nearly straight forward and still be able to see clearly at high speeds. The downside to this type of frame is the extra weight of the bearings and servos required to tilt the motors. However, they can be compensated for, somewhat, by using 6″ props. I haven’t seen many of these being flown, but that is probably due to the higher complexity of the build than required by flat frames… kind of the same reason there aren’t many tricopter pilots.

Tilt rotors are a neat idea but there are so many more things to break in a
high speed collision.
+Aeroscrew i agree but you do not need to tiltyour camera as muchtosee the
horizon. .

Nice presentation sir 🙂 A friend of mine picked one of these up as well
(hasn’t build it yet I think)..
I went for the HK version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTcophkWbCg
Are you going to let the FC control the tilting, or will you run them
servo’s straight from the receiver (as I did)??
Cheers & have a good week :)
What is flight controller firmware support like for motor tilting servos?
Does clean flight support it?
If you get it built you should consider getting better servos. Metal gear,
and possibilly digital, if you flight controller supports that. Digital
servos can be run with much higher refresh rates. 300-500hz instead of
50hz.
Tilt Quads are great for hauling ass but not for racing. I have one that I
scream around my neighborhood.
I’m interested to see how these tilt frames compare to a standard quads in
terms of speed and agility. I guess more straight line speed but less
agility? I think the engineering of this is great, but maybe unnecessary?
you could put wheels on the landing gear and drive before you take off!
Cool, one local guy have TILT300 and he has been messing with tilting in
cleanflight for a while and he discovered, that CF has tilting arms
feature, so it would be better than connecting the servor like in the
video, because FC would know about.
Hmmmm why not just auto tilt the camera instead using the cc3d and a camera tilt with a servo , there loads on eBay , this way you keep the agility of the quad at high speed..
