Is there a problem with the S800 model?

I was thinking about upgrading to an s800 but i've seen so much said about "death rolls" and problems that I'm wondering if there's a problem with model? Maybe the problem lies with the wookong or A2? I had planned to take my naza and all parts out of my f550 to build the s800 so maybe that would be ok?
Main reason for changing is to have folding arms!

Easy? You call that easy?
Mines a year old this week and it's been very reliable. Just spend some time getting to know your setup and check everything works on the bench first. I only just got a driving license this year so had to pack it down each time which is why I went for the S800. I used a Peli 1650 case. The only problem I had was once after a long two day shoot we had been carrying it around all day by the arms which caused one of the arm mounting brackets to become loose. I just replaced that arm and all good again.

It does have vibes, well, it should looking at the plastic arms, but my video is just great with the Zenmuse gimbal on it, which is all I care about!

The Vulcan frames look really solid. I think they do a folding version now. Folding is better than removing arms IMO. Less to wear out over time.

Cool?

A little premature for photos, it is not yet fully assembled. Addictive RC has some general photos of the folding quad arrangement in their section for Vulcan products. A bit on the high dollar side but it appears you get what you pay for. Flex in the right places will help provide good video, but if everything flexes you're on a downhill dollar spiral to stabilize and keep equipment healthy. That's not an issue with the Vulcan stuff from what I've seen so far.
