"Hey, could you tell me the specifics on your 4112 motors? They look very similar to the 4112 sunnyskys I just ordered. Just curious to what others are using, Thanks."

As I stated in my original post, I was only offering an observation and nothing more.  Your follow-up post seemed quite negative so I simply made my last comment more detailed.

 

The DIY Drones forum is an open forum where everyone posts comments which can be both constructive or simply innocuous.  I will make no further comments.  I am not a competitor in the UK.  I am a designer and marketer of multi-copters, ground based robots and recon devices for the military and law enforcement in the US.

Regards

Allen

HEy all,

I'm planning on getting the CC 950 and I love their new landing gear with the gimbal mount. Anyone know how I can get the Cinestar gimbal on the 950? or preferably the new landing gear. If there is a better choice for gimbals other than the Zenmuse I'm open to suggestions.
