Hey all - I'm new here. Long time cinematographer/Steadicam, but new to aerials. Have been flying a FlameWheel 450 with GoPro for the last couple of months and just did my first "legit" gig - very exciting!
Yesterday ordered the Cinestar 8 with 3-axis gimbal. Now need to order motors, ESC's, and batteries. I'm pretty much a newbie so grateful for any info/advice. I want to be able to comfortably carry an Epic. What do I look for in motors (brand, specs, etc.), ESC's (brand, amp rating, refresh rate?, etc.), and batts (mAh, number of cells, C rating)?
Also shopping for a radio - going Futaba. 8 channel? 10 channel (I'm leaning towards 10)? I notice there are 3 or 4 different models within the 10 channel series - confusing!
Thanks very much for any help!
Dan
