Yes this was a quick tune, and considering the conditions and the "quick tune" the gimbal did great. AS I get to learn more about the H6, it should be very easily tunable for very good results. More tests to come soon, just need to rebuild a rig (popped a ESC)

No it was an X8 so I landed safely but the ESC burst into flames. So to be safe I'm rebuilding the rig 100%.Sorry to hear that. Was it a crash? No one motor failure protection???

A T-Motor 80a?

No these were T-motor 45 Amp ESC's on Avroto 3515's. All 7 other motors were at 105 - 110 deg/ ESC's as well. The rig was very well put together and was not puling hard amps, hovering around 50%. I believe it was simply a bad esc. The rig was super efficient only using 5200 mAh for 5 min of flight, with (2) 10K packs it would have been a solid no worry 15 min flyer.
The top back motor stopped and the rig hardly noticed, just bobbed one time and then keep flying like normal. I noticed the stopped prop and landed immediately at about 3 feet off the deck the ESC burst into flames and produced the reddest smoke I have ever seen. I landed un plugged everything and let the esc stop burning... Here is a pic of the ESC after I cut it out of the rig...

I am going to rebuild the entire rig that way I can rest assured that everything is "OK".
New esc's and all... so if anyone is looking for 7 T-Motor 45 Amp Simon K esc's... let a dude know!

Been re-building the X8. My two H6 carrying rigs both had issues. VERY SOON! But from what I was seeing, it's a decent unit.

What camera would you be hauling with the larger gimbal?

I have the requests for Red's and with Cleveland in the movie biz now, Arri mini with Follow focus will be asked about soon.
Not 100% I want to even go there as I'm not sure the demand will justify the insurance increase to be able to rent that cost of gear... BUT I'm thinking ahead...
In the mean time I am making some decent progress on my M5/H6 hauler (replacement)
Why re-build when you can NEW Build!
Hexacrafter X8! I was on Andrews butt to make an X8 for over 2 years, as were others.. so nice it's finally here!
