Very stable vídeo with the octocopter, even without a gimbal!
I've got a little bit of wobbles at some moments but this happened because the GoPro wasn't very well attached to the frame, I have some unbalanced motors and I'm using Hobbyking cheap propellers.
Can't wait to test it with good ones (APC, Graupner ....)

Neill, thanks ;). I started buying these motors after watching some videos from David Windestal (Tricopter). They are pretty powerful for their price
That's right Muhammad. For risky flights I use brand new props.
Neill is correct. Motor price is not a measure of reliability. I've had better luck with motors 1/3rd the price of the ones I had on my quad.
Take care of your props and you'll never have a failure.
@Bernardo
DT750's are always a good choice!
very smooth flight by the way.
As for the props you are completely correct, it is quite odd really but for some reason it just seems to be how it works.
Neill, DT750 ;)
Steve, I trust on these props because i've used it in many flights and even after crashes or hitting it to a wall it never breaks. The only thing I get is a dent
eduardo, that's so narrow minded. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHngxVg732U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkCeWNmEwiU very reliable
Euan, that's right. What about DJI flip of death? Lots of examples
Neill, it might be coincidence, but I've already bought some 10x4.5 props from Hobbyking and they were much different from the 12x4.5 version. Many times the blades got broken mid flight without a reson. The 12x4.5 might not be very well balanced but they are really strong
It's very curious how people can be easily persuaded by product advertisement.
@eduardo
logically inane idiocy as showcased with saddening consistency on this forum...
I have used these "cheap" props for years and never had one so much as quiver out of line. Smaller props like 10x47 or 9x47s may have a problem - perhaps the material just does not have the tensile strength to manage to hold them together at the high rpms they spin at, but as for 11x47 12x47 and 14x47 I have, as I have mentioned, had no problem with them whatsoever. This may come from a host of factors - thicker core, less rpm, better distributed load coefficients... god knows. Perhaps the production is more accurately looked after I have no idea, but I have never had one fail, never had one break(with the exception of those flown into the ground), never had one sheer.
As for the motors, there is absolutely no reason that "cheaper" motors are more likely to fail.
>"oh they have bad bearings"
fundamentally inaccurate, and functionally unrelated. In nominal use there is no moments on the bearings themselves, if you have crashed your motors then the cheap ones are probably more likely to obtain bent shafts or broken bearings - but if you don't check you equipment after a crash then you're the one endangering others - not your bloody equipment.
>oh they have bad uhh materials..."
I don't know if you have owned many brushless motors before, but the material variation? especially so much that it would endanger others? Are you kidding me? I mean perhaps if you are buying 5 dollar motors from Taiwan or something...
>"No listen to me they have a higher failure rate!!"
No, they do not at all. they have a higher quantity of inexperienced pilots using them, they have a higher likelihood to not be properly preflighted and therefore they have a higher chance to crash or fail simply and primarily based on being used by amateurs.
>"then why do high price motors exist?"
They are more sturdy, and are more likely concurrently to survive a crash. They are often of higher performance or greater efficiency, and of course they are doted on by misinformed people like yourself.
Generalizing on price tends to fall apart as an argument when you see how many s800 have crashed.
cheap drone, cheap motor and cheap props ...
because of this thing the drones need to be banned .
You are very trusting with those cheap props.
Dt 750s?
or are those DT 850s?
I have the 850s - they are crazy powerful
