Hey,
No, I am a absolute green hand. I like taking photos/video, so want to make a multicopter to carry the Go Pro. I found there are so many platforms(brands), don't know how to choose.

Ive done a fair bit of research. If you just want to carry a GoPro, the 450 size works. The DJI seems well priced and good setup. The 550 which is a hexa is more stable, as more props per angle. The 550 can also carry a lot more weight.
BUt if you are like me, and want to build something from ground up, that would be cool. I want to make something capable of carrying a DSLR camera for video scenery footage. Something like CineStar 6
Hello, I'm up at northern beaches, here is a FB group for Australia (https://www.facebook.com/groups/371012886308527/)
And this is one world wide, lots of good stuff (https://www.facebook.com/groups/FPVRC/)
Im currently building a 250 size FPV, the Blackout Mini H quad, which is australian.
Hey there, thanks for the info. Yep I've seen on the Blackouts (on youtube) they look like fun. Mine is a home built tri inspired by the David on Flite test. Up to the second variation with the APM board. Lot to get your head around and am thinking it would be a lot easier if there were a bunch of locals we could bounce off.
do you fly with anyone else?

Cool, i watch flight test too.
Quad i fly mostly alone, a friend i met on the FB page lives close and we both are building a 250 fpv, i fly sometimes helicopters with some friends.
I myself have build a X8/X4 multi rotor. have a look. (http://www.multirotorforums.com/showthread.php?12124-Building-my-own-Multicopter&p=113271#post113271)
But do go on the FB page, make questions and people do help, I'm also a bit new, but now i know a fair bit.
So if you would like we could sometime get a group in sydney to go fly and do something?
We will meet up Saturday at the field next to warringah aquatic center at Allambie heights. That is if it's not raining. My number is on post above. If you want to keep in touch on what time we will go.
yeah will do,
if it rains or very windy it won't happen.
Msg is easier as Pm might take long until you get to see it.

It was nice to meet you guys. Good to have other people to bump ideas off as well. Your workshop was awesome, and I'm very jealous of the space you got to muck around with all the projects. Keep me in the loop with regards to the arms for the dji stuff. Would be keen to test some of those out. Would have like to have seen your new little rig flying Bruno.
Speak soon.

Was great meeting you all. Good to know there are great people with same interest so close around.
Shame it was so windy today!
Crazy to fly in such a tight space, good control!
I will have to try to maiden as soon as there is no wind.
Got your number so will let you know next time we are up there Tommy.
