    Unless you have an amazing battery that is crazy expensive you are just not going to get 60min flight time in a quadcopter due to simple math of motor drain, payload weight, thrust amounts.  Just not going to happen right now.. and people claiming that it is, is most likely doing creative editing.

    There is some creative editing going on.

    Coax motors/props for sure - good catch Daniel A.

    At first it is 'DronMaker'.. at last 'DroneMaker'.

    I do think the large props and could reduce rpm and therefore require less battery drain. The props are quite large and a blade strike is quite probable during liftoff or landing should any wind/pilot tilt be induced.

    The arms remove, nice. The wiring was simple bullet/sleeve connectors to connect prior to arm latching.

    Interesting and obviously targeted to 'agency' use. Those of us invovled with micro-aviation see the details purchasing agents miss.

    Do you have a db versus distance chart?

    an octa-V is not a bad idea, it has more vibration, but it works. a quad would fall like a brick in case of a single speed/motor/prop failure. looks really awesome, but i would not install an expensive camera on it.

    Gotcha, 60 mins with practically no load. Does that mean no camera or FPV gear? I'm curious what type of motor and battery size are you using? =D

    Looks good either way.

    You can see the product here:

    Great model is 60 minutes with 100g weight

    Anyone notice at 1:18 the shadow shows a co-axial prop? I call shenanigans!

    60 minute flight time? Unlikely.

    Hi
    Engine down not because of beauty
    Because magnet motor can be taken off if the propeller crashed out
    Instead of replacing propeller you replace magnet :-)

    Not a fan of the downward facing motor/propeller design. That's just asking to bite the earth. 

    The clip design is brilliant nonetheless. 

    I would imagine the AP is self-developed.

    I was thinking the exact same thing while watch the clip with very dramatic music.
