Holy crap, $200 for a 2700mAh battery?!?!??!

These are the first multi-rotors I saw. Problem is the X8 entry price is $32 000.

And Iv heard that the stability isnt much better than the MK.

You can get some awesome accessories and a cool custom controller with a touch screen though.

@Daniel: How did you make the dome?

This company was started quite a while ago, 2008 I believe.  Things have evolved.  I'm not sure why they still stick to the old pricing model.  From what I am seeing, they're not building them any sturdier than any of us can.

I used one of the ones they sell  actually.  I used it to make a mold, then vacuum formed one with some modifications to work with my design because they don't sell the bottom ones  and it probably would not have fit the folding frame I built anyway. looks good though  I Think

@Daniel: to be honest, it looks better than the X6!

What an incredibly worthy use of a quadcopter!  It makes me want to vomit.  I'm sure there's a bunch of Australians lapping this up though!

This was posted a couple of days earlier on DIYD but with a less dramatic pic and got only 1 comment - I wonder how much the picture influenced people to open the post?

As I said on the earlier post surely a FW would have been cheaper and a lot more efficient/effective...? I would be interested to know why the multicopter was chosen over a foamie...
