    Beautiful footage - how many raw hours of shooting did you sift through to get to this cut? Gives a whole new meaning to Follow Me Mode:)) tho I'm sure you were manually flying the P4.

    New 540 Class Folding Quad Frame

    The IT580 folder frame is designed for NAZA E600 Propulsion (12" max props). I have substituted Turnigy Multistar Slim 20 amp esc's which improve handling considerably. The base copter fully loaded with GoPro and SteadyGo3 gimbal + custom isolation weighs 1769 grams. With the 4000MAh Max Amps...

    Just a few snaps of the 640. It's 1" longer than the 540. With no battery it weighs 1860 grams as pictured. As pictured it flies 30 minutes with an 8000mah Nanotech 6S but that doesn't leave much wiggle room to add additional gear. It's shown with E600 propulsion but takes E800 with no mods...

    Pixhawk 1 and 2 both facilitate the overlay thru the in-outs. this is something my electronics guru figured out using a separate small board he found from a developer who sent him a pre release. We're still assembling and testing but I think it's going to work. Pixhawk 2 will give you 1080p...

    So a lot has happened since I first posted. We had a heart flutter when a customer wanted qty (220) of our folding IT640 heavy lifter (E800 propulsion) causing us to make a lot of improvements quickly. The deal fell through but we are left with a very outstanding prototype outfitted with...

    I feel for you because the first thing you'll need to do is fly over that water again to get rid of the heebe-jeebe's. I'm still trying to get my first whale shot and totally expect to lose it somewhere along the line.

    Mark Works with Walkera G-3D but best if combined with the STorM32 BGC v1.3 board and ditch the stock board. The stock plate is actually drilled out to accept the Walkera. Blank gimbal plates are also available and the cage is large enough to accept most 3 axis gimbals that position GoPro...

    I like it. Thanks for sharing. Do you have any video from your rig posted?

    New 540 Class Folding Quad Frame

    Thanks for checking it out. Yeah, I had to swap out a lot of components to get the desired outcome. They always found their way into another copter or found a home with someone at the field that happened to need it. If all the components finally mesh together on a single copter you finally...

    The Zenmuse mounts the camera so that the lens is positioned to the outside, not the center of the gimbal Consequently left side props show when using the Zenmuse. Other than that it performs great. I started with Zenmuse then switched to Stella for that reason.

    If you're not prepared to use the key recommended components (Stella gimbal @$299 is your big ticket item) then you should wait. I've already tested this frame with all of the possible combinations of gimbals, motors and props to save the end user from going through trial and error purchases...

    PDF shows arm detent scheme. They don't budge unless you crash. The couple of "testers" I have sold these to locally say it has the best feel of any copter they have flown. I've become partial to NAZA M for the one I use but it flies beautifully with Vector as long as you don't need the rock...
