will this carry a gimble and a dlsr ?

Comment by Jeff Taylor on February 21, 2012 at 12:24pm

Yes, check on the weight of the DSLR and the gimbal first and compare against the flight tests in the original post. I would recomment 11x47 APC props and 880kV motors for that, we'll have data on those motors with this frame sometime next week if you want to wait and see first.

@Cliff, my PID settings were all the defaults that get loaded when you flash the Hexa code.

Comment by Cliff-E on February 21, 2012 at 1:17pm

Good to hear that the PIDs are default (read: replacement frame!).

I noticed with my hacked up frame I'm hitting a wall: when roll_D > 0 I get twitches in hover, normal and close to default otherwise. Could be the ESCs, but I like them so far (been rock solid).

@jeff would be keen to know if one could replace the motors with slightly more powerful motors :) app 350 w ( something like mk3638 or similiar)

Yes you can definitely replace them with any motors. The mounting holes are 0.63" or 16mm apart which fits most motors in this power class. The arms are just aluminum so you can drill them out with a handheld drill as well if you need to change the holes.

Nice looking setup.  Will the kit be updated for APM 2.0 once they become more readily available?

Comment by jordan stocker on February 23, 2012 at 11:39pm

can someone please draw up some schematics

Comment by Jeff Taylor on February 23, 2012 at 11:54pm

Yes APM 2.0 will be an option as soon as they are back in stock.

What schematic are you looking for Jordan?
