    What can fly what? Help!

    As I know very little about it (or even what brushless means), I'm going to take your word for it. What I do believe, however, is that I can or will soon be able to get a decent gimbal for a lot less than $3500. Maybe I'm wrong there, too, and if so, I can always get the Zenmuse (assuming I...

    What can fly what? Help!

    Is there a chart or list somewhere that will compare different models, particularly payloads? I'd like something that will, if possible, fly my 5D (or at least a GH2), be capable of very stable footage, be portable, and not fall out of the sky if a motor goes out. I'm having difficulty, even...

    Hello from NYC/Mass - first bird?

    Hello! I'm a new user and new to multi-rotors. I'm a tv camera operator and I'd like to get into AV. I have purchased the Blade MQX for basic training and I also wish to start flying a camera. These are the choices I think I have: Phantom - Pros: fly a camera right away, reasonably...
