Overview
About Tarot 680 Pro Hexa Folding Frame.
The Tarot 680 Pro (TL68P00) is a 695mm folding hexacopter airframe built from Toray 3K carbon fiber tubes and reinforced nylon connectors, a long-standing favourite for aerial photography and cinematography platforms. Its six 16mm carbon tube arms fold down for transport and lock out for flight, combining the lift and motor-out redundancy of a hexacopter with a compact, travel-friendly form. All metal parts are CNC-processed, giving a precise, repeatable build that holds tune well over time.
The platform is engineered around camera work: it accepts 4006-class 620KV motors with 12-13 inch carbon propellers on 20-30A ESCs and 4S 4000-5000mAh packs, a combination that yields long, stable hover times for filming. At roughly 0.81kg for the bare frame, it leaves ample payload margin for a brushless gimbal, HD downlink and camera while remaining within reach of a 4S power system. The folding tubes make it easy to carry to remote shoots.
It is aimed at aerial photographers and videographers who want a proven, stable six-rotor camera platform, professional and prosumer drone builders, and ArduPilot/PX4 users assembling an autonomous filming or inspection aircraft. Its redundancy and gimbal capacity make it well suited to carrying valuable camera gear.

Buying guide
How to choose.
The Tarot 680 Pro is a frame kit, so plan for six 4006 620KV-class motors, 12-13 inch carbon propellers, six 20-30A ESCs, a flight controller such as a Pixhawk, GPS, a brushless gimbal for your camera, a radio system and a 4S 4000-5000mAh battery. The six-rotor layout costs more in motors and ESCs but adds redundancy for carrying valuable camera gear.
Choose the 680 Pro when you want a stable, professional-feeling aerial camera platform that still folds for transport. The 695mm hexacopter geometry and 12-13 inch props give long, steady hover ideal for filming, while the folding 16mm tubes make it practical to carry to location shoots. For lighter or more portable needs a smaller folding frame may suit better.
Match the power system to your gimbal and camera weight, keeping the all-up weight within the motors' thrust margin for safe, efficient hover. Add the gimbal and camera only after the base platform flies and tunes reliably, and use vibration isolation under the gimbal mount for smooth footage.
FAQ
Common questions.
What is the model number of this frame?
This is the Tarot 680 Pro, model TL68P00 (also listed as FY680 Pro). It is a 695mm folding hexacopter. If you see a different suffix in a listing, confirm it matches the 680 Pro you want, as Tarot offers several related folding multirotor frames.
What motors and propellers does it use?
Tarot recommends 4006 620KV-class motors with 12-13 inch carbon propellers, paired with 20-30A ESCs and a 4S 4000-5000mAh battery. This combination is tuned for long, stable hover suited to aerial photography rather than aggressive or fast flight.
Can it carry a camera gimbal?
Yes, the 680 Pro is designed as a camera platform and has the lift and payload margin to carry a brushless gimbal and camera. Mount the gimbal with vibration isolation, and confirm the total all-up weight stays within the motors' thrust margin for safe, efficient flight.
Why choose a hexacopter for filming?
A six-rotor frame offers more lift and crucial motor-out redundancy, so it can often keep flying if a single motor or ESC fails, protecting an expensive camera and gimbal. The extra rotors also help damp vibration and improve stability for smooth aerial footage.
Does it fold for transport?
Yes, the 16mm carbon tube arms fold inward for compact carrying and lock out for flight. This makes a 695mm hexacopter practical to transport to location shoots, which is one of the main reasons photographers favour the 680 Pro.
What flight controller is recommended?
ArduPilot/APM or PX4 controllers such as Pixhawk are the common choice, supporting hexacopter mixing, GPS waypoint missions, return-to-home and the autonomous modes useful for filming and inspection. Any modern flight controller that supports a six-rotor configuration will work.
