Hello all,
I'm a veteran RC hobbyist from the days when an "electronic speed controller" was a novel and expensive new thing... My previous experience was in RC car racing, but that was back in the 80s and following a very long absence from RC, I recently realised that people were launching multi-rotor things into the sky and getting wonderful images from them... So given my passion for photography, it seemed mad not to give it a go too.
So I've recently built my first quad, starting with a stock Hobbyking Alien 560, and then modifying it. It's now an Alien/Predator hybrid that turned it into an "Alien 760", with Tarot 2D gimbal, GoPro 4 and Skyzone FPV, and I'm about to get into some shakedown flights in its current configuration.
