"The quad can fly with the arms in either configuration, as the props lie on the same level. This make a really cool looking quad in flight. It also helps for camera rigs and orientation."

I have just finished the design and prototype phase of my open source quad frame. Its a 1.5mm G10 frame for 10"-12" props. I am in the process of designing a two axis gimbal for it, but to do this i need access to a faster prototyping process.
