OMPHOBBY M1 V3 PRO – The New Benchmark in 100-Size 3D Helicopters
In 2019, OMPHOBBY changed the RC helicopter world with the introduction of the original M2 V1, the first direct-drive 3D helicopter in its class. The technology continued to evolve through the M2 platform and later transformed the 100-size category with the M1 series.
Now, OMPHOBBY takes the M1 concept to an entirely new level with the M1 V3 PRO — a purpose-built micro helicopter engineered to deliver outstanding power, precision, stability, efficiency, and durability across virtually every flying style.
At Aerobertics, we see the M1 V3 PRO as a remarkable evolution of the 100-size helicopter concept: incredibly light, extremely capable, and packed with technology normally associated with much larger models.
With a flying weight of only 112g including the receiver, the M1 V3 PRO achieves an exceptionally low disk loading while delivering improved power, longer flight times, and greater control authority than its predecessor.
Whether you enjoy precision hovering, sport flying, aggressive 3D, or simply want a highly capable micro helicopter, the M1 V3 PRO is designed to keep up.
Ultra-Lightweight, High-Performance Airframe
The M1 V3 PRO airframe has been completely redesigned from the ground up with one objective: maximize performance while minimizing weight without sacrificing durability.
Taking inspiration from the proven M2 V3 platform, the new frame combines a lightweight central main plate with strong carbon-fiber side panels. The structure securely supports the motor, servos, tail boom, battery, and OFS3+ flight controller while keeping the overall weight exceptionally low.
Reinforcement plates in the rear section help redirect crash forces away from critical components, improving the helicopter's ability to survive hard landings and crashes.
Maintenance is also remarkably straightforward. Every screw on the M1 V3 PRO uses either a 1.3mm or 1.5mm hex head, meaning only two standard hex drivers are required to service the entire helicopter.
New Precision Rotor Head
The M1 V3 PRO introduces a major upgrade to the rotor head design.
For the first time in this size class, the main rotor head incorporates axial bearings, significantly increasing blade-grip bearing life while providing smoother and more precise blade-angle control.
Combined with a new rotor geometry optimized specifically for the OFS3+ flight-control system, the M1 V3 PRO delivers increased cyclic authority and improved control precision throughout the RPM range.
The new rotor head is complemented by the APEX 125 main rotor blades, providing the response and efficiency needed for demanding 3D maneuvers while maintaining excellent control at lower RPMs.
The black anodized and bead-blasted finish gives the rotor head a distinctive technical appearance that matches the helicopter's high-performance character.
Lightweight Carbon-Fiber Tail
The tail assembly has also been completely redesigned.
The new tail boom is manufactured from a hollow carbon-fiber tube, reducing weight while increasing structural durability.
A minimalist tail motor mount provides a crisp and responsive yaw feel while also acting as a heat sink for the new R11X-2 tail motor.
Driving the system is the new APEX 27 tail propeller, which increases tail authority while reducing noise and improving visibility compared with the previous M1 tail propeller.
The propeller hub and motor shaft are rotationally and directionally keyed, preventing incorrect installation and significantly reducing the possibility of tail-propeller slippage.
A double-sided printed carbon-fiber tail fin, color-matched to the canopy, completes the premium appearance.
More Power, Less Weight
At the heart of the M1 V3 PRO is the newly developed R23X-2 main motor.
The motor has been magnetically optimized to deliver more power while weighing less than the previous-generation M1 motor.
Combined with the lightweight airframe and optimized rotor system, this provides the M1 V3 PRO with exceptional power-to-weight performance for its size.
The result is a helicopter that feels significantly more responsive and capable without compromising efficiency.
New 2S 400mAh 50C LiHV Battery
The M1 V3 PRO is supplied with a new 2S 7.6V 400mAh 50C LiHV battery, specifically developed for the high-current demands of modern micro 3D helicopter flying.
The battery uses the new GY15 3-pin gold-plated connector, designed to provide a low-resistance, high-current connection with excellent durability over repeated flight and charging cycles.
The new connector is smaller than the previous JST-XH solution while offering a higher current rating and improved reliability.
Thanks to the optimized power system, OMPHOBBY claims 20–30% longer flight times in 3D, sport flying, and hovering compared with the previous M1 generation.
OFS3+ – Advanced Flight Control
The M1 V3 PRO is equipped with the highly advanced OFS3+ flight-control system, featuring integrated ExpressLRS support and a wide range of receiver compatibility.
Supported protocols include:
- CRSF – ExpressLRS, Crossfire, Tracer
- FrSky / KAVAN F.Port
- DSM2 / DSMX
- SRXL2
- S.BUS
The OFS3+ system provides extensive configuration possibilities while remaining accessible through smartphone connectivity.
OFS3+ Highlights
- Full parameter access
- Firmware updates
- Smartphone app integration
- Full telemetry with ExpressLRS, Crossfire, Tracer, and FrSky/KAVAN F.Port
- Partial telemetry support with SRXL2
- Dedicated 3D flight modes
- Self-leveling mode
- Fully featured rescue mode
- Simplified LED configuration
- Real-time battery indication
- Factory configuration specifically optimized for the M1 V3 PRO
The M1 V3 PRO version of OFS3+ is factory-configured and tuned specifically for this helicopter and will benefit from the same ongoing firmware development as the OFS3+ system used on the M2 platform.
New Aerodynamic Canopy
The M1 V3 PRO features a completely redesigned canopy with a sleeker and more aerodynamic profile.
Four striking paint schemes are available, inspired by the successful OMPHOBBY M5, M6, and M7R designs:
- Cosmic Orange
- Solar Yellow
- Nebula Pink
- Aurora Green
The result is a modern, aggressive appearance that perfectly matches the helicopter's performance-oriented design.
Ready for Every Flying Style
The M1 V3 PRO has been designed to be far more than a simple micro helicopter.
Its exceptionally low weight, high power-to-weight ratio, precise rotor head, powerful tail system, and advanced OFS3+ flight controller make it suitable for a remarkably wide range of flying styles.
From stable hovering and sport flying to precision maneuvers and demanding 3D aerobatics, the M1 V3 PRO delivers the control authority and confidence needed to push your flying further.
At Aerobertics, we particularly appreciate this versatility. The M1 V3 PRO is small enough to be practical almost anywhere, yet technically advanced enough to provide a genuinely serious 3D helicopter experience.
