I think we are in total agreement. When I said the video quality was not that good, it was not because the GoPro produces bad video quality, it was because the gimbal could not eliminate the vibration from the cheap quadcopter. I recently built a hexacopter, the tarot t810. I am in the process...

I have tried to get good quality video from my CX-20 with a gimbal and gopro, but from what I have seen on the web and from my own experience, it aint happening. I will be selling the entire setup on ebay (hopefully) and may get the new DJI or something else.

This is what it is going to look like, but first I am going to take it apart and use Loctite and all the bolts, and then start the wire harness.

I will have to start a will it or wont it fly thread.:)

I am slowly getting there. Here is part 2. Soon I will begin the soldering.

$799 and it does not include the camera. I think for the money you are still better off with a phantom. Can't wait to see some results and hearing more about this new phone.

Or I could make a trip to the hardware store but would the bolts be of acceptable quality?

Well, I am moving right along but hit a snag. You would think if you pay $50 dollars or so for some motors and motor mounts, one of the two would come with the bolts to secure them together. Oh well, hopefully I will be able to find them in the states and not have to wait for the Chinese to...

Today, I received a 3 mm sheet of carbon fiber. Gotta love Amazon Prime. Tomorrow I will begin cutting and drilling. I will basically be using the 1 mm sheet as a template. The 3 mm sheet it far stiffer and should work much better. I will be using the two 1 mm sheets for the undercarriage. I...

They fit. I am probably saying the measurements the wrong way. Each boom is 500 millimeters. The thing is almost 40 inches from boom to boom.

I just looked at that site you recommended. What thickness do you use, 3 / 16?

Thanks, I may look into that. I have one small sheet of carbon fiber coming on Saturday that is 3 millimeters thick. That should do it. I also have what you see in the photo left so I should be okay. I can't emphasize how much fun I am having with these drones. I was always into photography...

I am just a newbie at this, although I have been obsessed with it for the last 4 or 5 months. I had to look up a couple of your acronyms :-) I am not using any program, I am just making a simple Square design, and using the frame from my Racer and the terot as a guide. Regarding the rigidity...

No, they are not that big. They are 500 millimeters, should be just big enough for 17 inch props. I will be reinforcing it over the weekend. I have not decided if I will use small aluminum rods as well as additional carbon fiber sheets, but in the end I will make it work. Or, I will have a good...

definitely, I am going to use those additional pieces of carbon fiber in the picture. I may also use a thin piece of aluminum as support kind of similar to what a Tarot t810 frame has. I have a 6S battery and will be using multi-star 4114's with17 inch props. And if it does not work or is not...

Not too bad a wait from China. We are getting there

I got the sheets from Hobbyking via Amazon. It is 1 mm thick.

Not yet, I may need them. I am building as I go so I am not sure what exactly I will need. Sorry.

The video of the progress.

These are the extra sheets of carbon fiber I have .
