If you are looking for a DJI alternative then this is a good place to start, Tarot X8 Octo copter with retractable landing gear, and new designed DJI s1000/EVO folding propellers. I am looking to sell it mainly for the simple reason I like building copters and I am thinking of putting together an true x8 - quad configured multirotor.

The copter is ideally setup of for adding almost any type of brush less gimbal in this catagory, if its a Zenmuse, Movi5 .. 7, or any other type of brushless gimbal of your choice. It will fly it. for you.

The components such as the motors, ESC, and WK-M have less then 9 hours of use on them.

Build list is as follows.

1 - Tarot X8 Frame
1 - WK - M DJI flight controller, Firmware 5.20
8 - TMotor 4012 340KV
10 - Maytech ESC's (two for parts)
8 - DJI New designed S1000/EVO Folding propellers


$2600.00 firm - located in the mid Atlantic area.

If you are interested in a complete set up with quick release, large brushless gimbal, controller (transmitter/reciever), ODS Mark ii, Battery, AV Video Center Run up the motor for multiple 360 control.

1 - tattu 16000 mha ( 3 cycles)
1 - DJI OSD Mark ii
1 - Alex Moss Gimbal Controller (8-bit)
1 - Tarot Dampen Plate
1 - Futaba Tranmitter/Receiver 2.4 FAST system - runs fine with another 2.4 system on board (DMX)

with extras
$4600.00


Pictures to follow but below is some clips of,

the very first fight


follow by video sample from the gimbal result itself (in a tarot 1000) same type of octo but not fold-able.

a few photos during a flight with the large brushless gimbal mounted, with a 16000 mha I was able to get 15 min flight time out of it. On this day the winds were between 8 and 12 kts gusting 16. The copter performed with no issues.
