My new hexa taking shape

[marcin]

She starts taking shape.
Still wiring ,electronics etc:.

Can't decide to build gimbal with 3 legs that rotate together with YAW axis "will use huge DYS motor" or do two nice folding legs like i use in my Y6 - that will give less stress for YAW motor ,but less camera protection.
Aluminium arms - will finish polished and shiny with endcaps + wires hide inside tubes.
on picture is with 15" props.
Size is 900cm - beetwen engine shafts.

Looks a good starting point Marcin, what brought on the need for a Hex, thought you were in love with the Y6 ?

[marcin]

Just don't like to do nothing when it's raining outside  :)
Watching TV is waist of time for me.

[Dizzy]

Marcin is ADDICTED to heavier than air machines :P

dizzy ;)

Looks ace, mate.
I'd personally go for the 3 leg option instead of retracts. Better protection and lighter.

[marcin]

thanks for comments  :D
Yes Hase I decide to go with 3 rotating legs setup.
Will upload pictures soon how my gimbal and legs will looks like asap I got my computer sorted.

[Coyote]

I think that going with the 3 legs rotating is a good move bud

[marcin]

alright after fighting my coputer used for CNC i got it to work and made this :.
yellow for testing them will do in black.
Gimbal will hang under :)

[marcin]

battery mount to hold 2 x 6S 5000mAh + two lipo alarms on sides and something I'm missing in Y6 ,which is carry holder  ;D
Notice sexy GPS stand  :D

[Coyote]

Looking smart :)

[marcin]

Gimbal prototype is done.
Try to keep it simple as possible ,but still can adjust any possible way I like  ;D
This is for Nex or GH3 just different balance adjust beetwen cameras.
Gimbal is really rock solid and stiff.

Here is first preview:.

[marcin]

after adjust tube lenghts ,balancing etc:. gimbal is a lot smaller

[marcin]

add second arm that support Roll engine with bearings for more heavy cameras
