Product Details
The MARK4 V3 Pro 13 inch is what happens when the V2 13 inch isn’t enough. Same H-type layout, same 8mm arms, same prop class — but the side plates jump from 2.5mm to 3.0mm and the wheelbase stretches from 536mm to 565mm. That sounds like small changes on paper. In practice, the frame goes from 370g to 550g and the torsional rigidity roughly doubles. If the V2 is a crossover between FPV and commercial, the V3 Pro is a commercial platform that still speaks FPV.
The 3.0mm side plates are the whole point. On the V2 13-inch, the 2.5mm side plates do fine for general flying, but when you mount a heavy gimbal, a survey-grade LiDAR, or a dual-battery system, the lateral loads add up. The V3 Pro’s 3mm side plates eliminate that flex entirely. No micro-vibration in the camera mount, no torsional wobble during aggressive yaw corrections, no gradual loosening of standoffs over long commercial flights. The extra 180g is the cost of not having to wonder whether your frame can handle the load.
The wheelbase increase from 536mm to 565mm gives you more room between the arms for larger payload bays. On the V2, a 13-inch prop clears the center stack but doesn’t leave much margin for oversized camera housings or sensor pods. The V3 Pro’s extra 29mm of span means your 13-inch props spin with more clearance, and your payload bay has room for dual-stack electronics — flight controller plus companion computer plus radio — without squeezing everything into a tight sandwich.
Here’s how to choose between the V2 and V3 Pro: if you’re building a long-range FPV cruiser that occasionally carries a GoPro, the V2 saves you 180g and flies longer. If you’re building a platform for professional cinema cameras, survey equipment, or any payload where frame flex under load is unacceptable, the MARK4 V3 Pro 13 inch carbon fiber frame is the right tool. Same H-type efficiency. Industrial-grade backbone.

- Aluminum standoffs
- Stainless steel screws and hardware
- Arm soft mounts (vibration damping)
- Battery pad
- Battery strap
Applications
- Professional cinema mounting — 3mm side plates and 565mm wheelbase mean zero flex under heavy gimbal loads. Your footage stays clean when the camera costs more than the drone
- Precision instrument platform — LiDAR, multispectral sensors, RTK modules — the V3 Pro holds them steady. The reinforced side plates eliminate the torsional vibration that throws off sensitive measurements
- Commercial certified builds — 550g of carbon gives you the structural margins certifying authorities want to see. We supply Material Test Reports and dimensional data to support your certification process
- Research equipment deployment — The H-type stack fits companion computers alongside flight controllers. Dual-battery mounts with room to spare. Build once, fly for semesters without frame fatigue
Why Choose YTCarbon
- We make the carbon, not just the frame. Raw 3K T300 fiber comes in, we press it into sheet, CNC cut every arm and plate, then inspect before it ships. When you buy this MARK4 V3 Pro 13 inch carbon fiber frame, you’re buying from the factory floor — no traders, no markups, no excuses
- 3mm side plates cut from 3mm sheet. No gluing thinner plates together to hit the spec. One solid piece of 3K carbon per side plate, machined with deburred edges and chamfered corners to prevent crack propagation
- No MOQ. One frame to prototype, a hundred for your product line, a thousand for distribution. Same material, same CNC program, same quality check on every unit
- ISO 9001 certified quality. Independently audited. Material Test Reports available on request for your compliance documentation
- Fly before you commit. Get a sample at cost. Mount your payload, run your tests, then decide on volume. Real data beats spec sheets
Certifications
Every frame we ship is backed by documented quality credentials. We hold ISO 9001 certification for our quality management system, and our carbon fiber materials carry RoHS and CE compliance — which matters if you’re reselling into the EU or supplying customers who need traceable documentation.

How We Manufacture Your Frame
A lot of frame sellers can’t tell you how their product gets made because they don’t make it — they buy it from a supplier who buys it from another supplier. We’re different. The process below shows what actually happens inside our facility: raw 3K T300 carbon fiber comes in, we lay it up and press it into sheet, then our CNC machines cut every plate and arm to spec. After machining, each part gets a visual and dimensional inspection before it goes into the package.
