There is no secret !!!!!!!!!!

with the OCTA V you have a large sight for front camera !!!

and everything is above :) so naturally protected. good for expensive camera

what do you mean ?

mounting the camera above the frame ?

didn't think of that, but i think it still will have a much larger field of view when mounted underneath, even on OCTO V

Hi, this is a video of a well tuned Octa V copter for commercial AP by Skylens UK

Hello

I have a 1000mm Octo due in stock on January 15th.

Two camera mount options are available.

http://shop.carboncore.co.uk/Octo-1000-Octocopter-Multicopter

Is an Octo-V the type with four arms that split into V's? If so I can't see how these can respond properly to the changes in motor thrust as the inners arms will twist.

Have you seen the Octo-V-Tail setup?  Similar to an Octo-V, but the V-tail arrangement gives much better yaw response.

yes seen it,

but being mostly for yaw purpose, i'm losing the lift these 2 rotors can provide.

i need a lot of lift power...

yaw response is not THAT needed for me.

There wil be a Yaw/Pan turntable in the near future for the CarbonCore camera mounts.

How can the V setup offer more yaw rate unless the motors tilt? This only loses lift, is more mass to move and move back, all potential problems. And if the V tail design tilts, what happens if a motor cuts?

It offers more yaw control because the two motors on the V-Tail are heavily tilted creating lots of yaw thrust.  Yes, you lose some lift.  If you have them tilted 30°, we're only talking about 14% loss of lift from two motors?

 

Yes, if one of those two vtail motors fail, you're in big trouble.

Hi ARHEXA,

i used an OktoSL frame (which i am currently selling) from there: http://www.blaui-rc.de in form of spider, because in germany (worldwide not sure) the V-Shape is patented for commercial use. My frame had payload of 3 kg if needed even with 8 motors (36/6 Motors and 13/6.5 props) I made photos with 500D as well as with the 5D MkII

The advantage of the V-shape is a big field of view with a poor yaw function due to payload not in the middle.
