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!
