So while is stayed in Hongkong and flying around with my quad I decided to go for a new project.
Plans are at the moment for a hexa style multirotor, lightweight, versatile, long flight time (15mins+) and equiped with a 2-axis gimbal which will carry a gopro for full video experience. For this I am actually finding back in to CAD-development. So FreeCAD is an open source solution for me to make 2D and 3D drawings to bring the successor of the Django into this world.
Here are the first ideas for getting the thing lifting up to the sky:
- DJI Naza V2 + Mini OSD (Naza already ordered)
- Gopro Hero 3+ or higher
- hexa layout with 6 Motors from T-Motor
- ESC below 10A
- 5.8Ghz VTX for sure(>= 25mW)
- Full 3S-Setup @ 11.1V
- Gimbal maybe the lightweight Xaircraft Stella
- around 15 mins flight time per battery
- carbon fiber folding nano frame (custom made because there is nothing on the market for these ideas)
- setup smaller than one A4 paper and carryable in a backpack
- no propellers or parts inside the view of the gopro
- gopro should be safe within a crash
I hope I can manage all points mentioned above. If so I am sure this will be the best setup for travelling and filming so far.
Good luck. Will be a nice toy. But why suddenly a hexa? Because it lifts more load?
