  Wow...that's a good payload. Perhaps flight time is measured in seconds. I have a friend that's thinking about shooting some video. Asking me what he would need, quad, hex or octo. My experience is a GoPro. Perhaps 10 minutes of flight time.

  I have a hex that will theoretically lift 9Kg, it's just a question of thrust, and of course, battery consumption.

  I think the question is:"would an hexacopter still fly with a 2,5kg payload if an motor was lost?"

  Would a hex copter carry a 2.5 KG payload such as a camera comfortably?

  Does anybody know if the ArduCopter Quad-C Frame parts are available in CAD format anywhere?

  Hi @Reto,

  You want to achieve this using Servos directly? If I understand correctly, you want to be able to move the servo head to click photographs? What is DO_DIGICAM_CONTROL, can you explain that more precisely?

  Also, I think better would be to start a new forum as this looks quite jampacked.

  Regards..

  Thx Shyam. I'd read your post recently but it doesn't help in my case.
  I'd like to mechanically time lapse trigger my RX100 cam through a servo (no IR or usb trigger). I hoped maybe the DO_DIGICAM_CONTROL could be linked with  some time lapse counter.
