Hey
Interesting in your Drone, Have a few questions....
- Is it currently operational?
- Can it carry a Red Scarlet with a lens? What's the total payload?

Thanks

Matt
 
Thanks Matt. Sent you a PM.

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. Upgrading to handle a Canon 1DC + long lens would be approximately $3,000.
 
*NEW Asking price:
$5,200 USD for WHOLE KIT (+ applicable shipping from Canada).


Additional information:


This entire video's ground shots were filmed with my gimbal (there's 2 angles tight & wide in product walk through, the gimbal is the wide angle): https://youtu.be/qUrH4qJ4FkA?t=55s This should give you an idea for how the gimbal handles, as the entire video is shot hand held inside and outside the RV + driving shots with wind.



Here's a BTS clip of myself holding with a Canon 70D + 16-35mm lens. No post stabilization for those curious about Gimbal capability. https://www.dropbox.com/s/55n5mphipcfqb1o/Handheld-Gimbal.mov?dl=0


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.

Example of what this very 3-axis gimbal gets you for hand-held work (sample from a 2 hour live shoot I'd done in California):


The guy who built this custom kit is extremely talented. I'd keep it if I simply had more time to dedicate to flying!
