These are HIGH spirited race horses, really don't like things out of place. We couldn't take a chance on flying over 15 million dollar animals and their riders. Not even once. We hid behind bushes and got pretty high before the horses came to the track, and our landing area was 500 meters away. Most of these shots were single shooter FPV flights. I only use manual mode with the focus to infinity. I can adjust the camera close enough for editing. Get better all the time. The funny thing is, we flew nearer and nearer to the animals everyday before we started filming, they got used to the machines flying around. A lot of work for 15 seconds of video. The horses were actually very curious. Almost as though they were wondering about the machines, wanted to get closer to them. After a few days, they would all come to the fence nearest where we were flying.
Show us what you shot.

So it is sold as a complete kit with motors, props, retracts all included for 1700? That is a good deal for removable boom X8 frame.
Yes
It is complete, made a little unboxing video. EXTREMELY nice machine!
It comes with everything built minus stickers and Velcro one wrap battery straps ..BUT does comes with camera adaptor plate and tube(s) to fit the Zenmuse mounts or Photohigher, MOvI and Eagle Eye Mounts.

Looks really solid, plenty of metal and not plastic. As much as the S900 looked nice initially I'm not a fan of plastic in places that are going to be heavy wear areas, folding arms, and this machine looks solid, for about the same price if I'm not mistaken. Having a 800 sized hex now but no folding arms it is becoming a bit troublesome totting around unless I pack it in the back of my truck so this baby is looking very interesting, could be the new home of the SuperX I bought recently and the TPacks TP100 gimbal.
Mo money, mo money, mo money...

Rotorbotz X8 info
Have tons of good things to say about it. Will post in the future as (FPVone) Not Xaircraft, although we are going to be carrying the Xaircraft products and replacement parts, plus Eagletree Systems* as well as many others. Short list: DJI Flight Systems*, Fatshark* ETC. Our main line is Rotorbotz*, which we have the rights to. This machine is more equal to my S1000, I rate it FAR above the S900 for many reasons, 1st it is a super redundant X8 just in nature, more lifting also. 25% more lifting approximately. I think the S900 is 7.5kgs. this will come in slightly less than 10kg, maybe more ???? Anyway DSLR=NoProblem. Last post adding pictures and will not hijack this thread further. Will ask Bartman to give me a forum to support these machines.

Not sure why that said unavailable but the Beacon High link worked. I took a peek at your other work Sam. You do very beautiful stuff especially with fog. Lovely!
That is strange, I have just edited the link and it should be working now, not sure how I messed that up first time, but anyway, thank you for the kind words. I am actually desperate to get out and fly over some low laying mist/fog.
