Octocopters on the horizon

Posted by Datta Groover on October 7, 2015 at 9:07am

Anyone know what Octocopters are on the way to carry a full-sized DSLR?  I know the DJI S1000+ and the 3DR X8+, but I want to know if there is anything on the horizon from these or other companies.

I would hate to invest in one of these, only to find out a much better model comes out the next month.  

I plan to go for this next spring, so I won't buy immediately in any case.

Any clues?

          Thanks.  Do you have direct experience with them? Some things look better on paper than in reality. I seen on their website they do the 4-arm Octocopter design.

          What flight controller and gimbal do you use, and why?

          Thanks!
