Greetings! I am looking to purchase/build a compact, foldable rig to carry a Nex 7, A7, GH4 and possibly a 5D. But my goal is smaller, less conspicuous in other words quiet. Seems like the smaller and quieter a rig is the more places it can be used. I like the idea of an X8. Seem like the bigger you go the harder it is to fly and the more dangerous it is. So I'm looking for the perfect combo. Hoping you can lend some educated opinions.
I really like the Carbon Core because of the way it folds, but seems more like a heavy lift rig. But I could start out with that one as a straightt quad and add the second set of motors later. Still it seems on the larger end of the spectrum, and was told but another manufacture here in the US that because it's from England it's behind, but of course he wants me to buy his craft. The beauty of this rig is that it can go for the really heavy lift jobs.

I've also been looking at the Xpro Heli rig, but that maxes out at a Lumix, but it's small and compact kind of like a big Phantom. It also comes ready to go which is nice.

Lastly is the DJI S900. The good is it's cheap. The bad is the folding props, and the way they fold the arms seems wrong and can effect flight. It's also an awkward shape to be traveling with.
I was looking at the Sky Hero Spyder 700 but was told they;re more on the toy end of the spectrum. I called Bradatech to discuss the build and the guy kinda snapped at me and told me the X8 700 couldn't handle a lumix and pretty much hung up on me. Seems like it should with 8 motors.

I just saw the Align multi rotors that were just announced, but not sure when they will be released and if it will be worth the wait.
These are what I'm looking at, are there any others you might know of I should consider to further confuse the decision?
