This has been a low-effort post from the 'Banelle-has-been-lockdown-drinking' department.

Bahahah, made me laugh though! Although it looks somewhat odd I assume they did it to lower the camera a bit. I find that in some of these pod frame the camera is so freaking high above the base of the frame flying would feel super weird on roll and flips.

I kinda like it, looks unconventional.

I’m thinking of getting one for LOS only flying.
I think I could get a very light build with no FPV equipment on it.
Those tiny motors spinning 5” props is what I’m curious if they would last long.

which tiny motors?

be aware this frame isnt thoughtfull;
-the canopy material is usless
-the mount of the canopy is fault, a very thin plate cant hold any force. as there are places to attache a cnaopy on the arms itself, many frames use it... its nonsense gow its made
- the armdesign isnt good, i broke mine in gently "crashes", the sort of carbon breakpoint was very different to broken quality carbon i had. as i had avery lightweight 4inch, the 5inches rigidity should be even worse.

i dont like to say, as i like tbs overall, but this frame is trash... there was many good ul frames in the past, better in anyway. i gave up after the first broken arm.

specialy for los, i would choose one with carbon topplate.
something in this direction about the frame design:
