The BlackBird Echo Pro 5-Inch FPV Frame Kit by ImpulseRC

The next evolution of freestyle frames

For over a decade, ImpulseRC has set the gold standard for freestyle frames. From the groundbreaking Alien to the iconic Apex, we have continuously refined and perfected what it means to fly at the highest level. The Echo is the next step in this tradition – a frame designed for top pilots who demand the best handling, extreme durability, and uncompromising precision.

Designed for the best, built for all

With a motor-to-motor distance of just 210 mm, the Echo is one of the most compact 5" freestyle frames ever created. This extremely tight geometry offers unparalleled agility and responsiveness, making it the ultimate choice for juicy, s-bang, and modern freestyle pilots. Despite its high-performance pedigree, the Echo is also the perfect entry point for new pilots – offering industry-leading durability and an unbeatable warranty at the lowest starting price of any ImpulseRC frame.

Stronger, stiffer, better

After three years of meticulous development, every aspect of the Echo design has been refined to maximize strength and stiffness without adding unnecessary weight. While we continue to use the high-quality carbon fiber for which ImpulseRC is known, the durability of the Echo comes from experience-driven refinements in structure, tolerances, and preloading. The result is our strongest frame to date – built to withstand the hardest hits while maintaining precise flight characteristics.

And if you do break it? No problem. Like all our frames, the Echo is covered by our industry-leading, unconditional two-year warranty – including crash damage. Unlike many brands that disappear or no longer support older models, we still carry parts for our very first frame, developed over a decade ago. When you buy an ImpulseRC frame, you are investing in long-term quality and support.

Two models, one legacy

The Echo is available in two configurations:

Echo (Base Model)

Everything you need to build a high-performance freestyle rig at the lowest possible price while still enjoying the full benefits of the ImpulseRC warranty and legendary durability.

BlackbirdFPV Echo Pro

Designed to meet the highest standards of modern freestyle, the Pro model includes gold-plated stainless steel hardware, cone washers and shoulder bolts for a slop-free arm connection, TPU GoPro and antenna mounts, and more. These are not just cosmetic upgrades – the improved hardware increases frame stiffness and clamping force for next-level precision.

Future-proof camera support

The Echo launches with the same broad camera compatibility as the Apex, ensuring seamless integration with existing builds. In the coming weeks, a simple add-on kit will enable DJI O4 support, which will be included as standard in future production runs.

ImpulseRC: A decade of freestyle innovation

Freestyle frame trends come and go, but ImpulseRC continues to define what is possible. In 10 years, we have released only three dedicated freestyle frames – each a milestone in the industry. The Echo is no exception. This is more than just another frame release – it is the next chapter in our legacy of innovation, performance, and support.

The choice is simple. Fly the original or settle for a copy.
