Hi everyone.
I was hoping to get some advice from some of you more experienced builders out there on a build I am about to commence. The parts list along with prices and links are listed below.
I have been flying an F450 ARF copter for the past few months but want to do a build of my own. The primary purpose of this rig will be Aerial Cinematography. The camera gear, however, will have to come later for economic reasons. My plan is to start with a GoPro and gimbal at first, and them move up to a GH2.
So, my questions to anyone who cares to comment are:
1) What do you think of this proposed build in general? Am I looking at the right parts? Do you see any problems here?
2) Do you think this rig will be able to fly a GH2? Is a FY680 Pro even a good frame to fly this camera?
I have heard various comments, both pro and con, regarding flying a GH2 with this frame. Personally, I think it's possible, but I'm not all that experienced at building, so I'm asking you.
Any comments would be very much appreciated.
