KD7 is a 7" X4 and X8 cinelifter (both options from the same frame kit) designed to carry a BM 4KG2, Red Komodo, Sony FX6, Freefly Ember etc. It has a unique I-beam design made of vertical arms clamped between two continuous plates. This creates an insanely strong and stiff structure, while packing a huge number of features into an only 263g frame.
KD7 has KDCM Lite mounting holes in three positions, KDCM/DAC camera mount holes in the middle, and naked BM mounting holes on top. You can go down to 0 degrees with no props in view on a 7.5mm lens on the 4KG2. The battery can be top or bottom mounted for great CG balance and lower moment of inertia and a more compact rig. For bottom mounting you can buy a KD Battery Plate to protect the battery and act as landing gear. There is lots of space inside, with an abundance of mounting holes, zip tie slots, and easy access to USB ports.

Really like this frame, it is one of my favorites piece in my collection
The frame is rock solid when assembled and the flying characteristics even more so. Love this frame!
Initially I got this frame to be a bit of an allrounder longrange/cinematic, mainly focused on efficiency, but able to carry a decent 400-500gr camera. While building I quite fell in love with the frame and I've took it apart several times just for small upgrades & cleaning up and it's really nice to work on. I've equipped it with T-Motor V3008 1155kv with 8" macroquad props. on 3500 mah it easily reaches 10 minutes of cruising, and with the camera on I barely feel the weight that was added.
Nice frame for the g2
I got a nice tune on it
and there is almost no post stabilization needed🥳
It’s light wait and durable
