Seriously Pro SP Racing F3 NEO Drone Flight Controller & PDB
This is the F3 Neo Flight Control Power Distribution Board (FC/PDB), which forms part of the Seriously Pro Neo Stack (FC/PDB + OSD/VTX).
The Seriously Pro Racing F3 NEO Stack comprises of two parts, a PDB/FC and an OSD/VTX board which stack together to form the core of your racing drone. The stacking design makes for an extremely compact and easy to install solution, with the minimal of solder connections and external cables required. For beginners it simplifies the build, for advanced race pilots it delivers one of the most powerful racing drone flight controllers on the market in a very compact package.
The Seriously Pro Racing F3 NEO board (SPRacingF3NEO) is a full-featured flight control board designed specifically for FPV racing quads. It uses the latest gyro technology and a next generation CPU to deliver unparalleled flight performance, while its integrated PDB and BECs make for a easy install. As a flight controller PDB, it supports every feature you'd need in a racing quads, such as: DShot ESCs, all main RX protocols without inverter, programmable LEDS, current monitoring, telemetry blackbox recording and iLap transponder race timing.
Easy Installation: The SPRacingF3NEO is the easiest system to install yet. Just solder 4 wires per-corner, solder on an XT60 battery connector and you're ready to fly.
Receiver, camera and VTX antenna can be connected via no-solder connectors so you spend less time building and more time flying.
Team-Race-Ready: Race features include race transponder support for lap-timing and a VTX that can be disabled remotely! The VTX can be off-by-default and turned on/off via a spare RC transmitter AUX channel - if your relay-race team pilot crashes they can turn off their VTX so you can fly on the same frequency! The iLap compatible race timing transponder system was used at the World Drone Prix and the Drone Nationals.
The NEO Stack comprises of two boards - each available separately. The NEO FC/PDB can be used on as a FC on its own, without the NEO OSD/VTX add-on board.
The height of the combined stack is just 15mm high!

Features
The SPRacingF3NEO FPV Stack has Flight Controller (FC), Video Transmitter (VTX), On-Screen-Display (OSD) and Power Distribution Board (PDB) features that makes it the board of choice for any new low-profile multi-rotor build.
Jaw-Dropping Flight PerformanceThe SPRacingF3NEO uses advanced processor, sensor and software technologies to make your aircraft fly like it's on rails. |
Race Timing TransponderThe SPRacingF3NEO features a race transponder system for recording your lap times. Each board comes with a special transponder code to identify you at race events. Compatible with i-LAP receiver systems. * IR LED and code available separately |
Built-in 5v and 12V BEC Power SuppliesHigh-current 5V and 12V power supplies for powering your FC, Receiver, LED Strip, VTX and other accessories. |
Next-Generation CPUThe SPRacingF3NEO has an ARM Cortex-M4 72Mhz CPU with Math co-processor (FPU) for efficient flight calculations that gets more done in less time. |
MicroSDThe SPRacingF3NEO features a MicroSD card socket for logging. Supports MicroSD/SDHC up to 32GB - just leave one in and log every flight! |
USBUse the USB socket to configure the flight controller, OSD and also for pass-though configuration and flashing of BlHeli ESCs. The USB socket is not shared with any of the 5 serial ports. |
Telemetry SupportSupports bi-directional and standard transmit-only telemetry systems including SmartPort/S.Port, HoTT, FrSky, Mavlink, IBus and LTM telemetry. Telemetry enables audible and visible ground-station or receiver based alarms, warnings, information gathering and logging of FC data. |
Low ProfileMeasuring just 15mm high the NEO FPV stack allows for a low center of gravity and low profile frame which result in a quads with greater agility, control and speed than ever before. It's no wonder frame designers world-wide are designing new frames to take advantage of the NEO FPV stack. Users of existing frames will find they are able to replace tall frame standoffs for much shorter ones. |
Boot ButtonThe NEO features a boot button to allow easy setting of boot mode for firmware flashing of the device. The VTX board even has a hole in the top to allow access to the boot button below it. |
Broad RC receiver SupportSupports SBus, SumH, SumD, Spektrum1024/2048, XBus/IBus, PPM. No external inverters required (built-in), receiver powered via flight battery or USB for easy configuration. Dedicated ports for PPM/SBus/SumH/etc for easy connections. Socket for plug and play Spektrum Satellite receiver. |
Settings ButtonThe SPRacingF3NEO OSD/VTX features a button for changing VTX channel, band, RF-power, VTX ON/OFF and more! |
Programmable LEDsOutput for multi-colored LED strips - great for FPV racing, line-of-sight flying orientation and night flying. The SPRacingF3NEO is the first Cleanflight FC that allows you to use the transponder feature and the programmable LEDs at the same time! |
Developer FriendlyDeveloper friendly debugging port (SWD) and boot mode selection, unbrickable bootloader. |
DSHOT/OneShot ESC Support *Full support for OneShot ESCs for easy PID tuning and a sharper response. |
Battery MonitoringBuilt in battery voltage monitoring, built-in current monitoring. |
Built-in Power DistributionThe NEO allows direct connection of ESC power cables - no external PDB is required. The power is transferred though a high-quality gold-plated 2oz copper 4-layer PCB with super-wide high-current PCB traces on all 4 layers. |
Expansion PortThe always powered expansion port features I2C and 2 serial ports. It's perfect for GPS receivers, external sensors, ESC feedback or an always-on OLED Screen. |
BuzzerBuzzer port for audible warnings and notifications. |
Cleanflight LogosThe SPRacingF3Mini features a copper-etched Cleanflight logo so you can show your support! |
GPS Ready *Connect a GPS, Mag and Barometer via the expansion port for GPS Navigation |
LC FilterProvides smoothed power to your FC, OSD and VTX. Isolates noise from your ESCs and motors. |
Team-Race-ReadyThe SPRacingF3NEO is the only team-race-ready system. If your team mate crashes-out on the track they can turn off their VTX remotely so you can fly on the same VTX channel. |
Easy InstallationSolder as little as 4 wires per ESC. Use no-solder connections for camera and receiver with telemetry using larger JST-ZH and PicoBlade connectors (cables supplied). XT60 socket can be soldered directly to the board for direct battery connection. |
Current SensorMonitor your current draw and capacity used so you know when to land. Helps extend the life of your batteries |
OSD with Customizable LayoutDisplay VTX channel/band, battery voltage, current draw, capacity used, flight time, callsign, rssi, motors and other OSD elements. Configure the elements on your OSD to your taste. |
SPI Sensor ConnectionThe new low-noise ICM20602 gyroscope and accelerometer sensor is connected via a fast SPI bus. This enables the software to get more data even quicker to help stabilize your aircraft even better |
ConfigurableThe SPRacingF3NEO runs Cleanflight which can be configured to suit your needs using a cross-platform GUI (Windows/OSX/Linux). |
25/200mW Video Transmitter (VTX)The NEO OSD/VTX features a 40Channel 25/200mW video transmitter that can be even be turned of from your RC Transmitter! |

Race Transponder
The SPRacingF3NEO features a race transponder timing system. As you fly around the track the FC continually transmits your unique code via IR. As your aircraft passes the start/finish timing gate the track-side receiver records your lap-time. *Transponder code and IR-LED available separately.
- Compatible with iLAP receiver systems, as used by by most racing clubs worldwide.
- One LED for attaching via flying lead.
- Reduces your overall cost for a race-ready air-craft.
- No fiddling around trying to fit transponders in a hurry on race-day. Just turn up at the race and have the race officials scan your transponder and you're ready!
