"That is very cool, similar to what I am considering.
Are those the 3525 Multistar motors? Are you happy with them?"

"Thanks, that's a good point. Looks very good, 1080, 60fps. Looking forward to seeing what the Hero4 will be capable of...
However I already own the Nex and it is much better for stills, so I decided to follow through with it. Will perhaps regret it…"

"Thank you, that's good news!
What motors are you using now, the 650 ones? What is the weight including camera and battery?

That Vancouver picture is great."

"Interesting. What motors are you using?
What would the higher KV bottom motor do? I'm very new to the mechanics of multirotors... Wouldn't a smaller prop get "caught" under the wash of the top one?
Does it give you more thrust or longer flight?"

"Thanks, nice videos. I was waiting for him to get all three up at the same time though... ;)
His video says the Y6 is 2.45kg with 10A 4S (I assume that's 2x5A). Mine would be around 2.2kg without battery, incl. camera + gimbal. But he seem to be…"

"Ah, X8, didn't think about that, that's a good point.
However, coax setups are apparently less efficient - a flat octo is more efficient than an X8 I've read. But more arms getting in the way of the camera... There is always a trade-off... :)"

"Whoa, that's pretty sweet. Sure it'll be heavier than my NEX though... (~350g with 16mm prime)"

"Looks good. I'm thinking about at least a hexa though, more stable flight. Really keen on this one:

"Hi Nick,

Thanks for the info. Sounds strange. There are many parameters involved. If the added weight means a lot more throttle needed (weak motors?), perhaps the increased power consumption will negate the added battery capacity.

Were the flight…"

"Hi Emin, thanks for the info.

I've been looking at the H3D3, very impressive. However, I still want to investigate if it is possible to get my NEX in the air. I am not very fond of the fisheye lens of the GoPro, would prefer the narrower lens (and…"

Hi, My first post here. I've been searching the forum for info on this, sorry if I've missed something.I have a 3DR Y6 2013 DIY [1] that I've been flying for about a month, very happy with it so far. When I bought it I expected (naively) that I'd be…
