I'm thinking about your AUW and its going to be significantly more than mine. I bet your camera setup alone (GH4 w/lens) is going to add a minimum of 400 g over what I am. I think the InfinityMR is also about 500 g heavier (or more) than the Quadframe V2 gimbal. I think you need to think about...

If I change the motor cooling to good then all is fine. I just noticed hover throttle is at 36% so that gives you room for additional weight with loss of flight time of course.

Here you go. I just left my numbers in there for most of it except motors. If you go InfinityMR route that is more weight and you are including an FPV setup which I don't have that adds some more weight too. I wouldn't worry much about the max. temp warning too much as you won't be flying with...

Good to know about the tmotor beachwoods. Like I said, a lot of this is personal preference. Definitely taking good care of batteries is essential. I agree with creating more complexity but at the same time to me I feel like I am adding some redundancy. Especially since I have had a power...

Something is wrong with my eCalc subscription at the moment but once I get that straightened I can plug some numbers in for you and will post.

If I could afford the KDE then I would get them. Still don't think I would go for Tattu batteries and definitely not a single battery setup. Part of all this is personal choice too. I am now leaning towards the Tiger CF props myself as opposed to the KDE triple blade folders because of...

I think its all about what your budget is and how much money you have hanging under the copter. Tattu is far beyond my budget. The Multistars work great!! I have never had a battery failure and the reason why I now like to fly dual battery setups is to provide some redundancy. I'm not flying a...

Here is an updated photo of the hexa with the modified battery plates. It is much more convenient and brought the COG into level with the motors.

Hey Crayfellow, let me think about first question some. Mostly, I am looking for a grad student interested/motivated to seek more funding and start some projects I have in mind. I really like the prop mounting style of just having the disc with two screws that go through it to hold prop on but...

Here is the one I actually ordered: http://www.ebay.com/itm/261687405991 Ordering from HK international usually just takes about 7-10 days for things I have ordered, maybe up to two weeks sometimes. @Cameraj - thanks! Yes, very happy with this build except sorting the camera gimbal. It's windy...

Hey crayfellow, I do work along the same lines with my copters. I have recently completed a very similar build to what you propose. http://www.multirotorforums.com/threads/quadframe-foldable-pro-sixcopter-medium-lift-need.22993/ I am now working on getting the gimbal working with the CP...

Are you considering a smaller version for nex, rx100, a5100/6000 sized cameras?

I am curious which 15" props y'all are using with these adapters? I am seriously considering going this route since all of the cheap to mid-range 15" props I keep getting are horribly out of balance.

Hey J, Welcome to MRF. I'm just down the road from you and I use my MR's for scientific research purposes. Let us know when you have some specific questions. Will you be looking to build your own or get something ARF or RTF? Best, Shawn

Hey Paul, Sorry I missed that on the motors above. I see from the pics that these are CF 11x3.7 props. Curious if you've tried 12". I really like the sounds 40 minute flight! It would be great to have that flight time on such a small machine for mapping purposes. I am eagerly watching the...

What size motors and props are you using and what can it handle?

My bad completely!!! I misinterpreted the cartoon. Oh the joys of internet conversation. My apologies. Please do a build log for us if you don't mind. Now that I have seen the photos I am thinking I will sometime soon (but after taxes) have to do one of these too. Please, no hard feelings. :oops:

Thanks for chiming in. Couldn't agree more with you statements. I guess the OP isn't interested in this option I posted since he's posting childish cartoon's in response.

I dig how pretty much everything is tucked inside and protected.

Hey Paul, Could you post some pics of the copter built out? I have directed others to this post and I think they want some pics of the copter with the gimbal mounted and battery in place, etc. Thanks!
