I'm still getting the , "NOT AVAILABLE" replies from the vendors... What's up with that? Also, one of the vendors has their own cinema flagship that is in direct competition with the SkyJib. Interesting, but even though the competitors ship is available and producing some very nice...on the...

Hey Dirk, here's another thought with the Pletty Orbit.... how about they put the label on upside down so it reads proper on an Okto. The way it is now kinda implies that the machine is intended to go inverted. 3D helis put decals on upside down for a reason and considering the intended use...

Some of these guys aren't necessarily doing this for profit but maybe some of them are simply using them in their arsenal of devices as an elevated tripod for holding their cameras. Just another peice of equipment, tripods, telescoping mast, jibs, sand bags, hands, multicopter, poles, etc. If...

Thanks Dave but I'll try Kim at PhotoHigher first as it's his gimbal that I'll use. I will add Geoff to my list though. Dirk, what is the estimated price of the SJ8 with retracts and the AV200/360? I already have the BL-CTRL2.0, Flight-Ctrl 2.1-ME, GPS, NaviCtrl & MK3Mag. Assume I'll want the...

Hey, that's cheating! That's todays date but I will definately jump on it and if Pletty does as you say they will for the short shafts, I'm all over this. I'll e-mail them now! Thanks Dirk. Dan

Hello Dave, I'll resend my previous e-mails to them that are maybe 3 weeks old asking about the availability. The common reply was it's still experamental. You'd think they'd let a buyer know. Besides, none of them list this airframe on the web sites. If I'm wrong, provide me a link and I'll...

Hi Dirk, I like the idea of the Orbitz but the tall prop shaft bothers me. The machine is rather large and I keep thinking about hangar rash issues and the tall shafts invite damage. Bent shafts will no doubt cancel out even the best balance jobs. Any chance of the Pletty chopping the shafts...

Hey Tabb! Here's what I found flying out here in Iraq, 118 deg F at about 487 ft msl. I didn't chart any thing but I did strap 2.5 liters (5.4 pounds) of water to my stock MK Okto with a 5000mah lipo. It hovered for 8.5 minutes before the alarm sounded. I did do a couple of climb outs and...

Interesting, but where is the GPS and where do the batteries go? Looks kinda nose heavy. The ground stations concept is cool but doesn't look functional, more like a concept only. Needs a little more work before James Bond 007 can play with it.

Thanks for the info Tabb. Multi rotor is a great platform with it's size, UAV capabilities, and it's an amazing FPV machine. They started out with a lot of potential and are steadily growing.
