"Since so many people here are saying great stuff about the cinestar design I think I'm gonna give it a shot too.. guess the carbon fiber / glass fiber tubes available here would do:

"John: Point taken.. but then again how difficult is it to make a servo belt driven drive gimbal?
all i'm saying is we need an open source rig of our own that won't set us back a grand.. what you've pointed out is another feature we could aim for.. "

"@ Ellison Chan
No he does use light video deshaking.. Mercalli V2 plugin for Adobe Premiere to be precise.. but still this has to be the best aerial work done on a multirotor to date.. and I'm amazed at the simplicity of his setup.. "

"Also, another factor is ease of availability and price... so as hobbyists if we want to achieve comparable performance with easily accessible parts such as hobby servos then it doesn't make sense to go down the stepper/brushless motor route.. if you…"

"@ Emin Bu  Thanks for sharing these awesome images.. So how do you propose we should go about designing our own gimbal? I mean we can come up with something unique but what should be the features we should aim at? Also, how does one interface with…"

I'm a big fan and supporter of open source multirotors but this is just too impressive to pass. Too bad it is super expensive and out of reach for most hobbyists. Just wanted to share this with the community and see what they have to say about the…

I came across this video on my youtube feed today. How is this kind of endurance possible with standard LiPos? The last best flight time of 45 min was achieved by Holger Buss with his hexa mikrokopter if I'm not wrong. Can anybody shed light on how…
