Hello everyone!

  1. Has anyone made light weight arms for the Iris+? In my rough calculations the arms weigh 52g bare for the blue arms, and I would suspect a little more for the black rear arms. I am pretty sure I can get them down to 16 grams each or less.   I searched around but could not find anything on this. The result would be 140g for additional payload/battery time. I have no idea what would need to be adjusted if anything on the programming side. 
  2. A tracker for the machine in the event of power loss or critical error. I have a few ideas on this, but would like to know if anyone thinks this would be useful. Calcualted a Weight increase of 7 grams. 
  3. With the Gimbal and Gopro mounted I have read that they are very low to the ground. Is there any reason we would not increase the height and/or put on light weight suspension  too?
  • Disclaimer: have no idea what I am doing 99.999999999% of the time, but I might this time. I fully intend to put machine vision on these devices so they can fly indoors.... 

Thank you,

Kris

    • Mike, 

      Very stiff. there will be no flex with them at all. I can add flex if needed. 

      I need new underwear after seeing the prices on the black sheep site. Thank you for that i think. 

      The Legs are going to about 1 inch longer, and will have suspension. Its just something I see as a possible safety for the payload and aircraft. 

      I am going to reverse engineer the gimbal attachement you linked me. I will let you know when I have a solve. 

      Thank you for your Time!
