For now, I fly only the DJI F-550. I have stock motors, 9" Graupners, minimal weight landing gear(3 fiberglass legs).
Eventually I'd like to upgrade to a heavy duty machine like a Cinestar...
...but for now I was wondering if anyone has had success lifting any type of camera heavier than a GoPro with the F-550. (Not thrilled with still image quality from GoPro Hero2)
I see many new light-weight cameras coming on the market. Sony NEX *
Since I'm mostly into still photography and not video, I really don't need any fancy (heavy) gimbal. I'm happy to rigidly (and minimal weight) mount a camera and correct any left to right tilt in photoshop. I'd also need a set-up to remotely trip the shutter.
I believe I read somewhere that DJI suggests a max weight of around 5 lb for the F550. Thanks in advance for any tips or advice.
