    No I just happened to see that image and thought, that's something I've seen before. No idea if it is the same mount, but it looks pretty similar.

    I hope it is not one of those Nigeria Scam.
    They don't seem to have any proper registered website, email IDs, tel/fax are same no, and don't even use a registered ver of Pdf creator for preparing quote!!. Lack any of the detailed pictures you would find in any decent low budget drone company. Highly doubtful operations : (.,At the best it looks as if is DIY operations take care guys.

    I asked for quote for camera gimbal system only but, I looks like quote for whole chopper?
    I really wanted 50 minute missions option too.

    wow! for only $14k "can be widely used for artillery firing exercises". Does it come equiped with the artillery RTF? This thing must be a lot larger in person...

    I was quoted $14,412 USD for the Heli Version see attached Tian Yi quotation and specification.pdfQuote
    Pretty good price if it performs as stated. Chinese translation is lacking
