Decided to get out of the hobby and sell of all my gear, mainly my 690 Hex and all related parts and support equipment. I had alot of fun putting this together and sorting it out so it flies real well and shoots fantastic high resolution photos and 1080/60p video. The photos far surpass what is possible with a GoPro or other small sensor camera (like what is offered in the Phantom series). It was a modular build that is intended to be modified, upgraded to suit, if it were to break could be repaired at a minimal cost with a multitude of vendors for parts (read, not proprietary) . Camera capable of shooting RAW files and has interchangeable lenses, currently 12, 16 and 19mm, Gimbal has been balanced and configured as has the flight control systems and telemetry. Transmitter is open sourced, frequency hopping technology and the whole thing can be transported in its wheeled, custom case (fully assembled, w/o props, that included camera and gimbal attached) in the field which doubles as a launch surface.

Following is the specs and manifest of included parts, equipment. It would make a fantastic platform for someone looking to get right out and start shooting aerial stills and footage right now, not having to configure and debug an entire system, without costing 5-10k for a large format Hexacopter that currently you find offered.

Local pickup would be preferred in the Monterey, Ca. area, I will drop $100 off the the price for local pickup.

THIS HEX NEEDS NOTHING.

I'm going to set the price at $2500 shipped to the CONUS (+ any Paypal fees), but would be willing to reduce the price to reflect no camera equipment, reducing it by $500, (again, w/ no camera/lenses/etc.). I will not be parting this out or selling the camera equipment without the Hex, lowball offers will be ignored and am not looking for trades right now. Thanks.

Feel free to contact me by PM if your interested. Thanks again.

Wow,nice. I'm flying a Tarot 680 with a go pro and will soon be upgrading to a 960 with a Nex 7. Looks like your priced right, will probably go fast. Good luck.

Thanks for the kind words, I'm restructuring the price to $2000 shipped to CONUS w/ no camera gear, or original pricing which still applies , hope thats not too confusing
