The Whippet I/H Frame from Detroit Multirotor is probably the best thought-out frame I've seen. Every component seems to have its place and fits easily on the body. The "stretched X" (or "H") shape makes its pitch/elevator feel much more in-control and makes this quad look different than most of its competitors. The LOS flying is a different experience too. It rolls more quickly than it flips.

======================================================
This is flying with EMAX 2600kv motors and LittleBee 30amp ESCs.  You can build your own identically to the one in this video using these parts:
