I've not heard of it before, but it looks like a pretty serious piece of kit. I take it the camera gimble will eventually take something larger than a GoPro, the poor little thing looks lost on it ;)
For a minute there I thought you was the guy that won the lottery, but then I notest the DX5 and realized you didn't.
looks cool mate.
;) G
Looks a massive build, loving the gimbal :)
Looking forward to see the end result. I just hope you are not going to just be using a gopro on that beast of a gimball.
Looks great :)
As above, me reckons you need a bigger camera.
Good luck.
Miles.
Thats one serious build there looking forward to the results and a good look at that gimbol too :)

Poor little thing...that Gopro looks lost :'(
After a bit fiddling around I managed to finish the power distribution and fitted the motors.

already thinking of upgrading the arms tbh.
