I would be interested in this but I hope there is a way to mount something like Jakub's 2-axis gopro mount. Or probably 2 more tubes underneath to mount camera mount and battery on the otherside like the xaircraft x650.

 

For FPV i think this is already perfect no need to change anything, I like the idea of the concentration of the mass is on the CoG.

 

Thanks for sharing

Hi Duran , it look a lot like this one (which is non-carbon fiber) : http://www.diydrones.com/forum/topics/beautifull-ultrafast-deployin...

 

What would be neat it to have a readyly integrated gimbal/platform on that, and just have to plugin servo powers and it would be ready to use cam stabilisation (pitch and roll)

 

Yours looks beautifull and easy to use too, congratulation for your fine projections, i wish i had experience with 3d prototyping softwares

Thanks Anis. For this one I want to keep things simple, I've got some experience with camera mounts and gymbals and funny enough the custom quad i have now build from aluminum with the GoPro attached to the frame directly give us super steady footage and is ideal for FPV as you always know the copters attitude.

 

Re the 3D modeling, im using blender, freeware version, it took me 2 days to make this model with NO previous experience with any modeling software, I'm pretty sure you could do it!

 

The main goal for this quad project is lightness and portable practicality (we shoot alot of tv shows and outdoor event, so it would be idea to get the GoPro into hard to reach places)

Wow really impressive, I be watching your progress. I have no means of making frame for myself and been lurking the internet for a small portable quad for hauling GoPro and yours is by far the best IMO. Jago's frame is great for bigger rig, his vids are amazing hope to watch your vids.

currently having our first one made, and will sell them as ready to fly kits, but will also have frames only, we are still trying to see our final pricing, but I would put it at around 450 USD (R3500) which is much less than competing frames.

 

you guys think ?, keep in mind its already got a GoPro mount, full carbon fibre frame & tubes etc.

Is your kit based on the Ardu mega pilot?

yes they are, we've done over 150 flights with our big arduocto and it's been perfect the whole time, the quads will be even simpler and fly great!

Do you mind showing a picture of the main plate with the dimensions of the various holes?
