Wow, that looks cool!
Yep - looks nice. But I have to say that I'm utterly lost in the Droidworx model range now - so many variations! What's the difference between this and the Cinema Series? I'm confused!
Also a little disappointed to see Droidworx getting into the patent-grabbing game. For a company that has established itself purely by making unoriginal, derivative designs in high quality materials, it seems a little silly.

Cinema Series was the name for the prototype and project. Now it is ready and has a real name: SkyJib.
I have one SkyJib 8 here and can tell you, it is a very very fine product.
It is designed for big movie cameras like Arri or RED Epic and bigger and much stronger as the AD series.
On the last picture is my first prototype, the new Plettenberg motor special developed for this model with 800 Watt and 3 kg of thrust.
If you want to carry a 7D or 5D Mark II, use the AD-8 HLE or similar.

No, I am not working for Plettenberg, but I want to have the best motor for my copter.
Yes, they are not on the Plettenberg website, because this is a special type. I have done some development and calculations for this special motor and Plettenberg build this first prototypes for me.
Next week I will have a meeting with Mr. Plettenberg and we will talk about this motor. I will give you more details about the motor and ordering information soon.

Yes, I am using the MK BL-Ctrl 2.0 with heat sinks.
With 5S LiPos and 35 ampere a thrust of 3 kg is possible.

Ask Mr Plettenberg if he can build a contra-rotating motor pair 
(like these Himax units)

Hi Dirk , can you share your full set up with the Plettenberg motors , I would have thought BL2.0 would be borderline if they can handle a very heavy lifter 7kg mark AUW .
