Board
20 × 20 · AIO 25.5 × 25.5
Both fit. But the USB port has to face down rather than sideways, or you cannot reach it once the quad is together. Add a capacitor too; a small 330 µF / 25 V is plenty.

Minibyte 2.5" — T700 carbon freestyle frame
A 2.5" freestyle frame cut from T700 carbon — chamfered edges, 3.5 mm bottom plate, 2 mm top. The frame itself weighs 26.8 g; my standard build comes in at 108 g.
I'm Václav Fischer; I fly and film as SkylineDrones. Minibyte is the frame I drew because you couldn't buy a Kayoumini — and this is where I sell it.

Why this frame exists
The Kayoumini has been unavailable for a long time. If you could still buy one, I'd never have drawn anything — but you can't, so I borrowed a friend's frame, measured the hole patterns and made my own design. I'm not hiding where it comes from; there isn't much left to invent about a 2.5" frame. The current bottom plate is 3.5 mm thick, up from 3 mm. I kept the basic geometry and layout and changed what I'd been missing: the arms are half a millimetre wider, sit at roughly a 3° tighter angle and are a millimetre shorter — that opens up room between the front props for the wider Flywoo camera with the wide lens, without making the frame any longer. Two extra holes at the front take the camera cage, and the top plate is reworked for a battery strap as well as TPU mounts. The screw and standoff spacing is unchanged, though, so Kayoumini prints fit the Minibyte — nothing you already own goes to waste.
“Some people call it a copy. What isn't a copy these days? And what is there left to invent about a 2.5" frame? If you could buy a Kayoumini, it would never have crossed my mind to draw my own.”

The box holds both plates and the full hardware kit — no battery strap and no TPU parts. The 3D model uses my STL files, with the bottom plate updated to the current 3.5 mm thickness. Hardware is listed below but is not shown in the model.
// 03 · Diff against the original
What's different
- +0.5 mmThicker bottom plateThe current bottom plate with integrated arms is 3.5 mm thick, up from 3 mm. Both plates use T700 carbon with a 1.5K weave.
- +0.5 mmWider armsThe arms are 0.5 mm wider than on the original — more material along the motor axis, which is the last place on a 2.5" frame worth saving weight.
- −3°Tighter arm angleThe front arms sit at roughly a 3° tighter angle and are a millimetre shorter. That leaves more room between the props, so the wider Flywoo camera with the wide lens fits without stretching the frame — the overall length matches the Kayoumini, precisely so the prints still fit.
- 3 cut-outsBattery stays putThe top plate has three cut-outs: the TPU mount keys into one, so the pack can't creep forwards or backwards in flight, and the other two take a battery strap or velcro. Your CG stays where you set it.
- 2 holesScrew-down camera cageTwo extra mounting holes at the front let you bolt the camera cage down — M2×8 self-tapping screws with a wide head, from any hobby shop. Optional, but the cage holds better with them.
- 100 %Your prints fitThe hole and standoff spacing match the Kayoumini, so every print anyone ever made for it fits the Minibyte — you don't have to wait on a printer to go fly.
- milledEngraved, not printedThe logo on the bottom plate isn't printed or stuck on — it's milled into the carbon and filled with resin. It faces down, so it's the part that meets the concrete first.

Will my electronics fit?
Camera and VTX
O4 Lite · Avatar Nano V3 · analog
A DJI O4 Lite fits, wide lens included — practically anything that fits the space does. Run the DJI cable upwards: the camera cannot be flipped in software, so otherwise the picture comes out upside down.
Battery
2S ~560 mAh · 3S fits
The mount takes up to 63 mm in length. The 21 mm width suits a Dogcom 560; a wider pack is fine — in theory even a 3S goes in. A longer pack sticks out the back and shifts your CG.

Recommended components
A frame is just a frame — these are the three builds I run on it, lightest to strongest. None of it is sold here; the links go to Rotorama and HobbyDrone, two Czech shops, and for the Flywoo board straight to the maker. An item without a link is one you'll have to search for yourself for now. The radio is your call — just don't end up like UAVfutures, where the daily driver is whichever radio arrived in the mail this week.
12A · 2S
the basic build
The simplest and lightest route. 1202.5 motors at 10,000–11,500 KV, or 1204 at 8,000 KV — the KV number matters less than thrust: aim for at least 200 g per motor. Motors like that stay under 12 A, so a 12 A AIO board is enough. USB facing down, not sideways, and add a small capacitor.

- motor→ RCinPower GTS V2 1202.5 11500KV
- motor→ RCinPower GTS V2 1204 8000KV
- AIO→ Flywoo Goku F405 1-2S 12A AIO ELRS V2

- AIO→ TunerRC EZ3
- battery→ Dogcom 560 mAh 2S 150C
- battery→ Tattu R-Line 550 mAh 2S 95C — 61 mm, same size as the Dogcom
20A · 2S
for the O4 with the wide lens
More punch for the heavier camera. 1303 or 1304 motors around 8,000 KV — they suit 2S better and nothing needs limiting. The 11,500 KV version can pull up to 27 A on 2S, so you have to cap the throttle at about 70 % in Betaflight; I don't make it the main recommendation. The Flywoo GOKU 20A board is listed as 3–4S, but it runs on 2S — I have that confirmed by the maker, and it's what I fly myself.
- motor→ RCinPower GTS V3 1304 8000KV

- AIO→ Flywoo GOKU F405 HD 3-4S 20A AIO — 2S confirmed by the maker
- battery→ Dogcom 560 mAh 2S 150C
20A · 3S
the strongest build
For those who want still more. Sub250 1304 motors at 6,000 KV, the Flywoo GOKU 20A board and a 3S pack — the mount is made for the Dogcom 2S, but a wider pack is fine and the Dogcom 560 3S (62 mm) goes in.
- motor→ Sub250 1304 6000KV
- AIO→ Flywoo GOKU F405 HD 3-4S 20A AIO
- battery→ Dogcom 560 mAh 3S 150C — 62 mm, fits the mount
Antennas
The smallest linear antenna is fine for the VTX, and the smallest 40 mm one for the receiver. The VTX is your call — an O4 Lite or a WS Nano V3 both fit, stacked as two boards.
Buzzer
Worth it — specifically the MATEK Lost Model Beeper in the version without a battery; the one with a battery doesn't fit. I skipped it at first and relied on motor beeps — slightly tall grass and the quad is gone.
// 07 · TPU prints
They aren't in the box, and that's deliberate — everyone runs a different pack, a different camera, and some want snap-on arm guards while others want screw-on. Every file is free on MakerWorld and Thingiverse, including a storage box (about 3 cm wide) that takes the assembled frame and fits in a backpack. And because the hole pattern matches, the community TPU collection for the Kayoumini on Printables fits too. If you don't have a printer, buy the TPU set or the box right here.

Betaflight setup
The PIDs and filters I fly — separately for the 12A · 2S and 20A · 2S builds — plus the ESC setup in Bluejay. Not a universal recipe: other motors and props want other numbers, but as a starting point it saves you the first hour of tuning.

Update — 6 October 2026: the bottom plate is now 3.5 mm rather than 3 mm, and the top plate uses a finer 1.5K weave rather than 3K. These frame changes and regularly paid customs duties on imports from China have brought the price from CZK 850 to CZK 990.
Minibyte 2.5" Freestyle FrameIn stock
A 2.5" freestyle frame cut from T700 carbon. 3.5 mm bottom plate, 2 mm top plate, both with a 1.5K weave. Chamfered edges; the frame itself weighs 26.8 g.
From 2 units: $42.90 each
TPU set for the frame (printed by the builder)In stock
Five arm guards, a camera mount, a buzzer-and-antenna mount and two battery holders. The files are free on MakerWorld — this is for people without a printer, or who would rather not print them.
Minibyte storage boxIn stock
A printed case for the finished quad, so it travels safely in a backpack.
TPU set colour
Choose a colour for each TPU set. The frame does not include TPU parts.
For each TPU set, specify the exact camera model and standard or wide lens so I can print the right mount. For example, digital DJI O4 – wide, or an analogue camera – exact model. Each set can have a different mount.

After several months of testing, I really have to take my hat off to you. It is an amazing frame. I fly it almost every day and regularly crash it into the ground, concrete and trees — and you cannot tell at all.
Štěpán Brunclík
I would like to thank you for the frame and for everything you do for the community. MiniByte flies great!
Tim Williams
Hi, I finally built my MiniByte! I first built it with analog video, but burned out the board with the wrong choice of motors. Then I rebuilt it with digital video, and it is an incredible rocket. Thanks!
Filip Rizek
Why MiniByte?
I don't always want to fly a five-inch quad, and some places aren't suitable for one. I was looking for a park racer, but I didn't want a whoop. I liked the MiniByte's design and how adaptable it is.The build
Straightforward. I ended up modifying the prints and designing my own.Setup
I used the 2S presets for my son's build. Mine runs on 3S — longer flight time and more wild fun.Verdict
Fun, fast, and capable of freestyle. It just has different inertia from a larger quad.Thanks to Vašek for his approach, support, fast shipping, and communication. If there's another frame, I'll happily buy it, because this one is AWESOME!
