369DRONE MIROKU X-Brace for Tiny Whoop (Carbon) Review
A single carbon fibre X-Brace weighing 0.22 g that the listing calls bolt-on for the BETAFPV Air65 and Air65 II and fittable to the Air65 Champion after trimming, listed at $6. It suits owners of those three frames; screws are not included.

Our verdict
A $6 carbon fibre X-Brace for an owner of a BETAFPV Air65 or Air65 II, which the listing calls bolt-on, or of an Air65 Champion willing to trim a small raised area as the listing explains. Look elsewhere if your frame is not one of the three named, or if you want dimensions on the page. The main caveat is that the listing says the brace raises rigidity, sharpens response and spreads crash loads, and none of that comes with a figure or a test.
- Best for
- An owner of a BETAFPV Air65 or Air65 II who wants the single carbon fibre brace that the listing calls bolt-on.
- Skip if
- Your frame is not one of the three BETAFPV Air65 models named, or you want the brace's dimensions before choosing.
The MIROKU X-Brace for Tiny Whoop is a single carbon fibre brace that the listing says locks the four motor mounts of a tiny whoop frame together and mounts with the motor screws. The specifications give a weight of 0.22 g and a quantity of 1 piece, and it is priced at $6 as one option. The compatibility section names the BETAFPV Air65 and Air65 II as bolt-on and the Air65 Champion as needing a small amount of trimming.

Options and pricing
The X-Brace comes as one variant at $6, and the box list reads X-Brace x1, so the price does not change with size or color. The material is carbon fibre and the weight is 0.22 g. Screws are not included, and the listing says to reuse the motor mount screws already on the build. Fit depends on the frame: the Air65 and Air65 II need no modification, while the Air65 Champion needs a small amount of trimming that a short fitting section explains.
How it compares
None of the siblings is a substitute. The Arm 5mm for MIROKU Frame is $6, the same price as this brace, but it is an arm listed for the MIROKU Frame, and the Titanium Flat Head Screw (M3 x 12mm) for MIROKU Frame is $3 and is a screw. This X-Brace names BETAFPV Air65 models instead, and its listing says to reuse the motor mount screws, so it does not point to the MIROKU screw.
Shipping and processing
- Processing. The store's shipping policy says every order, including orders placed through the Shop app, ships from its warehouse in Japan and is dispatched within 1-3 business days after payment is confirmed (checked 2026-11-11).
- Shipping cost. The policy gives a flat 800 JPY inside Japan and 5,000 JPY to eligible countries for parcels up to 2 kg, and gives no rate for heavier parcels. It does not list the eligible countries; the store's country selector offers the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand, and the terms of service reserve the right to limit sales to any region, so the checkout is the final test. At the rate the store used for US prices when we looked (about 0.00642 USD per JPY), 5,000 JPY is about $32; the checkout shows the exact amount.
- Price against shipping. This listing costs $6, less than the flat international shipping fee above. The policy prices shipping per parcel up to 2 kg, so what an order of several small parts pays depends on how the store packs it, and the pages do not say.
- Duties and taxes. The policy says import duties, taxes and customs clearance fees are not included in the price or the shipping cost, are charged to the recipient by the carrier (it names DHL, FedEx and Japan Post) and are outside the store's control. It declares the full value of the goods on customs papers and cannot mark a parcel as a gift or declare less. A parcel held for unpaid duties is not delivered, and if the carrier sends it back the return shipping is deducted from any refund.
- Tracking. A tracking number is issued once the parcel ships. For international parcels it can take a few days to show up, and it can change when the parcel is handed from one carrier to another.
Returns and warranty
- Returns. The store's refund policy gives 30 days after receiving an item to request a return. The item must be in the condition received, unworn or unused, with tags and in its original packaging, and you need the receipt or proof of purchase. Use the contact page first: if the return is accepted the store sends a return shipping label and instructions, and items sent back without a request are not accepted. The policy does not say who pays the return shipping on a change-of-mind return. Refunds go to the original payment method within 10 business days after the store has received and inspected the item (checked 2026-11-11).
- Not returnable. The refund policy lists custom products (special orders and personalized items), perishable goods, personal care goods, hazardous materials, flammable liquids and gases, sale items and gift cards. The legal notice, which is in Japanese, adds made-to-order items, digital downloads once downloaded, and goods whose value was lost through the buyer's use or modification. For an exchange the policy says to return the item and, once the return is accepted, buy the new one separately.
- Damaged or wrong items. The refund policy asks buyers to inspect an order on arrival and to contact the store at once about a defective, damaged or wrong item so that it can evaluate the issue and make it right. The legal notice says the store exchanges or refunds such an item at its own cost.
- Warranty. The shipping policy, refund policy and legal notice describe no warranty, and we found no warranty page. The terms of service say products are provided 'as is' except as the store expressly states, disclaim warranties, and are governed by Japanese law. Many of the parts this store sells are made by other brands; nothing says whether the store or the maker handles a fault that appears after the item has been in use (checked 2026-11-11).
Before you buy
369DRONE describes itself as an FPV racing drone brand from Japan. Its About page says the founder, Daichi Sakakibara, spent over a decade as a test driver at Toyota Motor Corporation and builds products with experience from racing. These are the store's own statements (checked 2026-11-11).
The store is in Japan and quotes yen. The price on this page is its United States dollar price as of 2026-11-11; the store converts at its own rate, which moves, and a visitor in another country can see a different amount or currency.
The legal notice, written in Japanese, says the products are meant for FPV drone racing and hobby use, asks buyers to follow the Aviation Act, the Radio Act and other laws, and says the store takes no responsibility for damage caused by use that breaks the law. Those are Japan's laws. We have not checked what applies where you live and we do not say whether this product can be flown or operated legally in your country.
The English refund policy takes back items that are "unworn or unused", while the Japanese legal notice says, as we read it, unused and unopened, so check the condition rule with the store before opening the package. We have not read any independent review of this product or of the store.
What we liked
- The page gives the material (carbon fibre), the weight (0.22 g) and the quantity (1 piece)
- The listing names the frames it covers: BETAFPV Air65 and Air65 II as bolt-on, and Air65 Champion with a small amount of trimming
- The listing says it mounts with the motor screws and needs no extra hardware, and the box list is just X-Brace x1
- A short fitting section describes the Air65 Champion trimming on the page, so the extra step is stated up front
Worth noting
- The Air65 Champion needs a small amount of trimming, which the listing describes as paring down a raised area with a hobby knife, so it is not a bolt-on there
- Screws are not included, and the listing tells the reader to reuse the motor mount screws already on the build
- Only three frames are named; the listing says nothing about any other frame
- The listing says the brace raises rigidity, gives faster response to throttle and sticks and spreads crash loads, but it gives no test or figure for any of it
- The page gives no dimensions for the brace, only its weight

What we couldn’t verify
- The listing says the brace raises frame rigidity, tightens throttle and stick response, sharpens corners and spreads crash loads so the AIO takes less of the hit; these are the maker's claims with no test or figure, and we could not check them.
- The listing puts the 0.22 g weight at about 10% of a 2.2 g frame without naming that frame, so we could not check the comparison.
- The Air65 Champion fit relies on paring a raised area until the brace lies flat, and the listing gives no measurement for it.
- We have not read any independent review of this product or of the store; the About page is the store's own account.
- The English refund policy takes back items that are unworn or unused, while the Japanese legal notice says unused and unopened; we could not tell which rule applies.
- The store's pages describe no warranty and its terms provide goods 'as is'; we could not tell who handles a fault that appears after use.
