So we just got the fs700 in our hands and i am wondering what you pros out there would feel comfortable using to lift it. I have a Naza F450 with stock props, but I dipped the props in epoxy so they should be stronger. Kidding.
Seriously though, is this a SRH only application when we start lifting $10k cameras that weigh 6lbs? It's weight is right around 4lbs with battery and pancake minus eyepiece. Also, need the obvious remote trigger for the slow motion capture as it is always recording in a loop and when you hit the button it stores it at the set rate to the SD. I just ask because most guys I see are using 700 SRH. Even if my 2814's with 12's would lift it, and I am sure it would no problem, i want that added piece of mind flying it. maybe I need to bump up to the next size motors in the form of AXI's and use more rigid props? I know this subject has been beaten to death but now that we are close to lifting it, things get a little more nerve racking. We also got 2 Varizoom heads, so we may just opt to jib/crane the camera and screw the heli. Also, we didnt get it through BH and dont have their replacement plan. We were going to insure everything together through a separate company. Without insurance this camera does not get air time!
