Hi guys,
I have just decided to get a SJ8 after much looking at MR craft the past few months. I have flown fixed wing and heli's years back, and now as a keen photographer, I want something to take my camera gear.
I have ordered the frame, and need to get the rest, but motor wise I would love to hear what people are using. I am not looking for the heavy lifter, more looking for longer flight times. I will be lifting Nikon DSLR and lens and am puzzled as to the best motor choice to get the longer flights.
I know Droidworx used to recommend the AXi 2812/? or something like that, and many people seem to use those motors, but now DW recommend Tiger motors, so I was curious if anyone has used the factory recommended Tiger motor setup, and is that setup geared towards heavy lifting?
I'm torn on the WKM, or Hoverfly Pro, but want something to control a gimbal, and I'm looking at the Cinestar 3 axis instead of PH AV200 etc after all my reading.
Much to learn it seems, but I'd appreciate any real world experiences.
Thanks in advance,
Wayne
