S-800 frame and the DJI gimbal....

[srbell]

Any Idea when these items are coming out? I was looking at a Cinestar 6, but this setup looks pretty nice.

I'm waiting for an exact release date. Most likely March with the new gimbal. As soon as we here something we will post it.

Do i see electrical connectors in the arm connection area? that would be great!

I thought the same but didn't follow the thought in disbelieve. Would be very cool though and certainly possible ! Seem like if the motor mounts stay the way they are at the moment, they will bring some motors out or rebrand some that fit specificly to the frame

I think its interlocking pins. doesnt seem to have connectors I found this video.

I was talking about 2:18 It looks like there is some cooper or whatever worked in. That would be a strange way and very delicate thin to be interlocking to give stability. We will see.
Only seen one frame up to now that had the motor cables and connectors worked into the booms and not a one time custom frame (cant find the link anymore).

It is interesting but i still think its interlock. Isnt it that CF are conductive?

Good eye I do see some type of copper.View attachment 2271

If done in a good way it could be a great way to reduce weight and if the distribution board is also integrated in one of the centerplates it could be a winner ! Imagine one Lipo cable to the centerplate and the rest of the wiring concerning ECS and motors kept to absolute minimum. Would be nice, but i think it is wish full thinking

I think its not that far from it being a practical reality. Looking at the DJI Quad and Hexa the bottom plate is the Dist. board. Its so easy to build the DJI Quad and Hexa. Makes it a very clean install. I would expect either way the bottom plate to also be a Dist. board on the S800. Pure speculation at this point.

I think with the DJI system requirements many new frame designs will evolve.

I'm still just waiting for that Zenmuse gimbal. It could really be the game changer.

What are those carbon props shown with the S-800 frame? After many years of RC jets and BVM draining my bank account I thought I was immune to carbon lust. Obviously not.

Well someone selling 199Euro for 4 x15"

But I think another guy is gonna be selling at half those price advertised. But I think once the China Market release their version internet will be flooded with those propeller but I am yet to see small prop of same design in carbon (AR Drone??)
