Hey everyone! Excited to post my first build thread. Wouldn't be anywhere without the help of this forum, and people like (@Motopreserve) and more.
After months of scouring and researching for the most cost effective and functional rig for AP/Cinema for work I landed upon the good ole' DJI F550. I'm sure you have seen a million of these, but this is my first time. Read Many mixed opinions, reviews, and comparisons to other bigger & better rigs but this seemed to be my BEST start for the budget & beginner. I will be shooting small (Rx100/GoPro/Nex5). I know nothing about soldering and never have, so hang with me
I know this is something I can search and post separate threads for each component and tiny question, but I decided to keep all of MY questions here for everyone to see as I'm going. Let me have any comments/critique/opinions/No-No's you may know!
Pictures to go along by tomorrow. Right now everything is in a million boxes on my desk ready to work. Also I'm over budget so I'm hoping this is EVERYTHING I need (minus a charger which I'm purchasing this week). Below is my current list of parts, pictures coming along this week!
