"The price of the heavy hexa at quadframe.com is amazing.,, the best hexa frame in the market in terms of value for money if you ask me.. I'm getting one for myself!"
"Awesome! Good luck Chris and team!"
"This is amazing! The modular approach is clever! If only this were open source, it would be perfect!"
"Wow! Finally an android autopilot! Great work!"
"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.. "

"Yeah, guess you need to move fast, David from rcexplorer.se already beat you to it :)"

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.. "

"And to back my claim.. take a look at some footage shot by one of the best in aerial film making, fpv leif of Norway:
Last time I checked with him he had been using a simple, self made, servo stabilized aluminium camera mount on his…"

"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…"
"@Cristian Carlsson I second that! We should definitely have a community developed gimbal that we can call our own.. I have access here to a pretty badass laser cutter which cuts metal upto an inch thick and the service is dirt cheap (1 minute…"
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…
"I use a bungee mount for my gopro on my tricopter... I get almost zero vibration... the gopro mount is attached to the landing gear of my tri with bungee cord... if you're interested I could send you pictures to make it clear to you how I mount it.."
