The GEPRC TAKER F405 BLS 65A V2 is a high-performance flight controller and ESC stack built for 5-7 inch freestyle and long-range FPV builds. It pairs the GEP-F405-HD V3 flight controller — loaded with an ICM42688-P gyro, 16MB blackbox, integrated LC filter, and dual BEC — with the TAKER H65_8S_BLS 65A 4-in-1 ESC, delivering a complete, plug-and-play power system in a compact 30.5×30.5mm footprint.
Why choose the TAKER F405 BLS 65A V2?
GEPRC designed the TAKER stack specifically for pilots who want clean, stable power delivery alongside a premium gyro and blackbox — without the complexity of manually wiring a separate FC and ESC. The integrated LC filter keeps power noise away from the ICM42688-P, the silicone shock-absorbing grommets isolate vibration from the gyro, and the dual BEC means your HD unit, camera, and receiver all draw from independent, clean power rails. Pair it with components from our FPV VTX collection for a complete build.
Key features
ICM42688-P gyro with 16MB blackbox
The ICM42688-P is one of the best gyro sensors available for FPV — low noise, excellent vibration rejection, and strong RPM filtering compatibility. Combined with 16MB of onboard blackbox storage, you get detailed flight logs for PID tuning without needing an SD card.
Integrated LC filter
A built-in LC power filter cleans electrical noise from the power supply before it reaches the flight controller and gyro — important for stable video output and accurate gyro data, especially on higher-current builds.
Direct DJI Air Unit plug-in
The GEP-F405-HD V3 includes a dedicated DJI Air Unit direct plug-in connector — no adapters or custom wiring needed for DJI O3 or other DJI HD FPV systems. Also supports analog cameras and VTX setups.
Dual independent BEC
[email protected] and 5V@3A dual independent BEC outputs supply clean, separate power to your HD unit or VTX on the 12V rail and your receiver, camera, or other accessories on the 5V rail — avoiding cross-contamination of power rails that causes video noise.
65A BLHeli_S ESC
The TAKER H65_8S_BLS delivers 65A continuous current per motor on BLHeli_S firmware, supporting DSHOT150, DSHOT300, and DSHOT600 protocols. Includes a current sensor for real-time amperage monitoring in Betaflight OSD.
Silicone shock-absorbing grommets
The included silicone damping grommets reduce vibration transfer from the frame to the stack, keeping the ICM42688-P isolated from motor and prop noise — resulting in cleaner gyro data and better flight performance.
