OVERVIEW:
Ecilop Eco is a quadrocopter developed specially for begginers in aerial photography and video. The wood frame absorbs vibrations and does not pass them to the camera. It is the first commercial model which is using RoControl technology for camera rotation and stabilization controlling. Two axle camera gimbal is integrated into the model. The camera gimbal is attached with a single screw, so you can make test flights without a camera. We have not set the kit with motors, controllers, screws and other, so you have the freedom to choose them. You can have minimal experience in modeling to assemble the Ecilop Eco model yourself.
FEATURES:
Multicopter swaying does not affect the camera, since the camera rotates leaning against the air and not the multicopter frame. Other camera gimbal types using the frame try to quickly stabilize the camera when tilting takes place, whileEcilop stabilization does that inertially. A lightweight wood frame will not cause a lot of damage in case of crash. Small lightweight propellers cannot cause serious injuries. If the drone falls from the height of several meters, the frame is likely to remain intact. Quick repair of the wood construction is possible in field conditions using super glue. The frame of the drone can be spray-painted into any color. Two people can simultaneously control the drone to ensure professional shooting quality. In the “heading hold” gyroscope mode, the camera will not tilt following an erroneous signal from accelerometers (the second operator can take care of smooth tilting). Both optical and inertial horizon sensors can be used for automatic camera stabilization. Drone elements never appear within the camera’s FOV and do not appear in footage (without a fish-eye lens). The compact drone can quickly maneuver and fly through narrow passages. A lightweight drone does not need heavy and expensive batteries.

Thanks, I've been dying to see this list. So you listed the "Mini MEMS" as the gyro. So I'm guessing you need two of these and they basically act like the tail boom of a helicopter. Smart and simple! Will you need that programmer though?
Today we have added information about the components you need to build Ecilop Eco and the example of a complete set (we were flying). Visit www.ecilop.com/ecilop-eco
Thank you for your interest. We wil share more info about Ecilop Eco assembling and electronic used soon.
Thank you for sharing your design to the world! This is a great design that is really simple, yet really effective at stabilizing the craft. It is a little confusing where you offer the electronics kit for the stabilization unit. Can you clarify Everything else is obvious.
