Thanks everyone for the information. While I feel confident I will be able to build a MR, learn to fly it, and then maintain it, the part I am totally green at is the cameras, gimbals, FPV, ground to machine links - thats all a new game to me. I've built and flown rc choppers since the early...

Thanks for all the advise and I will take it to heart. I may make a trip down to Atlanta Hobby this week, as that will be about 115 miles for me. I've never been there, and hopefully it is a good hobby store with a decent focus on multirotors. Might be worth it, if they some inventory to look...

Hey all. I have been reading and visiting this site now for about 2 weeks or so. I am getting close to picking out a system to begin with. Here is what I think I am wanting. I've looked at quite a few multicopters, but still confused I have about $2500.00 to $3000.00 to put into a aerial...

Thanks for the insight tstrike, SMP, and dr427. I agree with everything said. Tstrike, yes I know about swift and violent destruction. I've been flying rc helis since the early 80's, and I have had my share of machine to ground explosions. So, I am thinking about a GoGro and a NEX. I had looked...

Thanks dr427 for your insight. I will look also at the Drift! Ross

I have begun my search into which multicopter and camera setup I want to get as my first rig, and I have a couple of questions. I have heard a lot about the GoPro cameras, and I took a look at their website. I had originally dismissed them as maybe not having a very good and stable image, but...

Thanks for the insight. I certainly agree with you guys. Yes, I will be careful in how I proceed. I've owned 4 businesses, and so I am don't consider myself to be a complete novice, but I know that owning previous businesses certainly doesn't make me an expert on a business such as this. And as...

Thanks everyone! Good information and very helpful. Thanks again! rf

OK on all Ben. Yes it would be bad to have a quad fall into a substation or gas plant - what a mess. What is the course (BNUC-S) that you mention? I was looking at the DJI S800 as a possibility. I want to get a fairly high end machine and camera to start off with, as I figure it is worth it...

Hey everyone, I hope this isn't an inappropiate question, but here goes. Those of you who use your machine as a business, how is it going? That said, I know that flying the machine is fun, FPV is fun, and video or stills are fun, from a hobby only aspect, but I see so many uses for this...

Great information. I need to find a hobby shop that carries that model, and has all of the peripheral equipment similar to what you have listed. I am thinking about using it for maybe some commericial use, to where I might get paid for my finished work. I have thought about all of the many uses...

I looked at a few videos of this machine and I like it. A couple of questions, how much weight could it carry, such as a still camera or a video camera. Also, to get this unit with the everything, all of the electronics to fly it - flight stabilizer, motor controls, GPS hold and return home...

Thanks all. I want to start with a kit, say a 6 motor jo,b and so I am starting my seach. Hopefully I will have it sorted out in a few weeks. I work full time during the day and teach at night thru April. Then I will have the time to really build a kit. Thanks all. Ross

Thanks much Benjamin and Shawn. I am pretty much convinced that I will get into multirotors. I will most likely pursue getting into a aerial photography business as a hobby at first, and then maybe part time small business. I have a couple of helis I can sell off, and then get started on my...
