Ultimate Aerial Photography and FPV Rig: Build-Log

Hi Everyone,

I've had my Inpire1 for a couple months now and I'm looking to take it to the next-step with a serious aerial photography and FPV rig. I'm using it for fun and in the future part-time business.

I've been looking around and noticed great deals on Gryphon Dynamic frames. My budget is moderate, I dont want to cheap out, I want something that can last me a couple years.

Here is a goodie list of things of the what I'm thinking of getting. Let me know your thoughts and your recommendations:

Gryphon Dynamics X8 1000mm: $1089usd

  • That is pretty much my goodie list as well. Ha! Santa can you hear me :)

    • Awesome. Im going to wait till the beginning of next month for mine (pay day).

      What camera are you going to use for your setup?

      • Most likely same as yours but I'm very interested in just attaching my iPhone as a camera to my drone. I saw something like that on Shark Tank and it was actually quite decent.

        • Cool. I would just be scared crashing and losing all my contacts :)

          AirCraft-World.com has some really awesome deals, I didnt even know they existed a couple weeks ago.

  • Has anyone has experience with the Tarot 5D 3-axis camera gimbal for the Canon 5?
