    1st copter build (Tarot 680) - criticism needed

    Well, let's look from the other side regardless of the cost issue I'm still confused about the components, particularly camera gimbal. My camera+lens is 460 g. Typical 2D gimbals with motors are usually another half a kilo. So 1 kg of load. Assuming, that T810 frame is better due to possibility...

    At least? Do you mean that the bigger - the better and I should consider T1000?

    1st copter build (Tarot 680) - criticism needed

    Thanks for tip and very detailed explanation! Do I need some special controller to have two batteries working simultaneously? Well, in case of real necessity the whole project and budget can be seriously reconsidered. What exactly would you improve? And what is estimate of sufficient budget...

    1st copter build (Tarot 680) - criticism needed

    True, my bad. Thanks for pointing! No, these motors are for 3-4s batteries. I've selected them because they were recommended by support team for this frame Yes, I'll work alone. It would be great if I can manage with only one transmitter, less weight to carry outdoors. So, if I understand...

    1st copter build (Tarot 680) - criticism needed

    Hello. I've already asked some silly questions in the photography tread. After some reading I've decided to built my own copter from parts. It will be used for still landscape photography with Sony NEX6 + 16-50 lens. All criticism and suggestions for improvements are VERY WELCOME, just keep in...

    Copter for still photography only

    Alvinl, thanks for suggestion, but 5k USD is a bit too much. I'm thinking about assembling my own copter, it seems to be cheaper. No way I would ever use those compact cameras, I've seen DNG file from DJI Phantom 2 vision. They are not worth 1.5 k USD price

    Copter for still photography only

    Well.. I have been browsing through different online shops and I'm still quite confused. I dropped emails to a couple of them (hobbyking.com and rclegends.co.uk) and asked "how can I spend approx 2.5 k USD at your shop?", but they didn't answer. Probably there business is going too well without...

    Copter for still photography only

    Unfortunately, this matters. It should be possible to fold or disassemble it to some extent, so that I could take it with me to different trips (or flights to another country)

    Copter for still photography only

    Looks good, thanks. How is it with mounting gimbals to a copter? Are there just bolts+nuts or should I consider any compatibility issues (except of weight)? From where is gimbal powered? From copter's battery?

    Copter for still photography only

    Bartman, Eskil23 and mediaguru! Thanks a lot for your responses, they helped me a lot. Ok, now I can see that GPS is a very usefull thing. Sony NEX 7 has HDMI, so I can use this video for aligning camera. Tried to search ebay, found some gimbals of reasonable price (400 USD) I would be very...

    Hi from Finland

    Hello I'm an amateur photographer who just discovered a possibility to use copters for capturing pictures. It would be so much easier to take pictures if I could place my camera wherever I want, not where I can reach. For example here http://despair.zenfolio.com/p629426364/e2ab92c9a, it would be...
