    The next rig for Yonder Blue Films - "Less Is More"

    I haven't had any issue with building wiring harnesses in the past, so I think I'll stick with that approach. I do like the bus bar arrangement that Hexacrafter has done, though. In conclusion, no PDB for now. Now, for some more debate... Hex vs Y6? I've got my opinions, but I'd like...

    The next rig for Yonder Blue Films - "Less Is More"

    Both seem to be good options. Diggin' those folding props. Hopefully they add more size options.

    The next rig for Yonder Blue Films - "Less Is More"

    It looks like there are a few connection options (see photo). What do you think of the other two connection options (terminal and solder)?

    The next rig for Yonder Blue Films - "Less Is More"

    The KDE 3520 motors running on 17 inch props and 6S batteries looks to be a great combo - long flight times. Still plugging numbers into eCalc....

    The next rig for Yonder Blue Films - "Less Is More"

    With my larger builds so far, I've been using a harness I built for each. I may give a distro board a go this time though. Interesting idea with the 3S battery. I put a switch on our current gimbal and that has added a ton of convenience.

    The next rig for Yonder Blue Films - "Less Is More"

    Some updates... Note: None of this is set in stone and is subject to change. Frame: Pretty much set on a Vulcan Y6. I like the nice wide view that this will provide. And with the Vulcan, if I change my mind on the layout, I can change it! Motors: I haven't plugged numbers for the KDE's...

    The next rig for Yonder Blue Films - "Less Is More"

    So I've been brainstorming our next camera flyer... A little history: Our first big camera hauler was a Cinestar 8. It served us well. We flew it with 14 inch props. You can click on that video in the upper left showing it sitting in the grass to see what we shot with it. We wanted something...

    Awesome idea for rudder control.

    That is one amazing quad! So stable.

    Aeronavics / Droidworx Skyjib Ti 8 or x4

    Some VERY wise words from Dave there. Our next rig will be SMALLER than our current workhorse. With cameras like the GH4 around the corner, the days spent flying a Red will be rarer. There is certainly a time and place for flying the Red and similar sized cams, but many producers aren't...

    Skyjib 6 Super with 5D Zenmuse and 1 motor fail (video)

    Thanks for sharing this. Impressed that it managed to hover so well with one motor out.

    DJI Lightbridge - 2.4G Full HD Digital Video Downlink

    Very interesting system. Odd that 24p isn't on the list. I guess they could add that with firmware.

    BMPCC, GH4, 5DmkIII, NEX7...did I miss any?

    I'm a big Panasonic fan for aerials. I have high hopes for the GH4. It has the same form factor as the GH3 and I'd imagine that the weight is close as well, which means it is LIGHT. The GH3 is 550 grams with battery.

    This is coming along nicely! Well done.
