A Complete Ready-To-Fly Freefly Systems Cinestar 8 Kit
This Cinestar 8 Kit's Footage:
Example of hand-held work with this 3-axis gimbal:
Included Items:
Bonus: Includes Full walkthrough video series (Familiarization and Training) of each component.
*Upgrade possible to handle Red Epic / Weapon*
My reason for selling: it hardly gets used and in our line of work, we rarely need aerial footage so we're opting to hire the work out instead of storing this amazing device between shoots.
Update: Asking: $3900 USD
Additional Info:Redundancy: The Graupner receiver has a headphone jack and continuously reads out current power levels, altitude information and what not audibly so you can keep your eyes on the helicopter. It also tells you if there’s anything wrong (say 1 cell isn’t responding properly) in order to land. Redundancy is built in. The power safety is the ability to run 2 batteries. If one fails the other is wired to keep it in the air. The copter will also be able to stay in the air even with 2 motors out… this can depend on the payload however. Higher payloads can withstand 1 motor out.
Safety: There is safety built in, if it gets out of range it’s meant to fly back to original position. Flight distance as it sits is limited to LOS (Line of Sight) since there isn’t any FPV gear on the copter itself. Max altitude height is restricted to 500ft per FAA. If the copter goes into a failsafe due to the radio dropping out it will ascend to the altitude they set and fly itself back to where it took off and then land automatically. If they re-establish radio control before it lands they can take over again.
Fully operational: Handles a Canon 5D3 + 35mm 1.4L lens well. Usually flown with 5D3, but more recently with BMPCC. Can be upgraded to handle Red Epic, parts & labour would come to about $7,000 - $10,000 depending on what you needed from Birds Eye Productions. Upgrading to handle a Canon 1DC + long lens would be approximately $3,000.New, at the time of purchase this entire custom built Freefly Systems Cinestar 8 kit cost $17,000 USD (as quoted). At moment of posting, a kit of similar build new would come to $11,000 USD.
