What we're building.
The end goal is to cover every corner of the FPV hardware spectrum, foundational hardware first: fc, esc, receiver, frame, motors, video. This page is the live state of that plan.
design requirements
Planned3
No design yet, on purpose. We name it early so the community can step in and help design the hardware they are interested in contributing to.
design iterations
In progress3
A first design exists and prototypes may already be ordered, but nothing is under test yet.
first prototypes
Alpha8
Coming soon. Community testers and firmware maintainers fly the hardware before anyone can buy it. Where a product page exists, you can join the waitlist there.
validated, larger first batch
Beta0
Launched, first production batch. You can buy it in the shop, early-batch pricing can be lower, and the design can still get updates between batches.
none yet
final validated design
Launched0
In the shop and settled. The design has stopped moving; buy it and it will not change under you.

01 · How this works
Everything starts as a conversation on the OpenDrone Discord: what the market needs, which specs make sense, what can realistically be produced. Agreeing before anyone draws is the point. It stops two people building the same thing, and it kills bad ideas before someone spends weeks on a layout. When you want to do more than talk, the contributing page is the manual.
02 · What you want next
Every order carries an optional ballot: in the cart, rank up to three of the planned and in-progress projects from this board, and checkout files your ranking with the order. The vote steers our priorities; engineering reality can still overrule it but we will tell you and not silently drop stuff.
No ballots counted yet. When you order, the cart carries a ranked ballot for what we should build next; the standings appear here and on the board above.
