Greetings,
I'm a photographer based in Sydney, Australia. I am looking to learn about these great tools. So much to learn and so many choices with what seems like many limitations from one bird to the next. I'm looking to buy a kit and build it myself as RTF is just way to exe for me. I am shooting pro Nikon gear the D800 and D3s bodies with full array of pro lenses. I'm looking to exploit the massive resolution from the D800 to capture huge stills from the air, as well as make use of it's full HD video now Nikon have caught up to Canon in that area. with my gear I'm considering the Skyjib8 or the new LITE version of it, just need some specs for the LITE to see what it will carry and for how long with the recommended motors before I decide whether it is a better choice than the full size SJ8. I know weight, density alt etc all have an effect on how well and for how long one can fly on a battery, so getting my head around it albeit very slowly...
I had a gas heli a few years back, got it 5m off the ground before slamming straight to earth and never fixed it or bought another one. I still have it collecting dust somewhere..
