Photoship has 2 models for multi Rotor Helis. If you have a Canon 550d or smaller, then you can use the MKTR mount, if you have a 5D or similar you should go with the MKTR HD.

Just to be clear, The stock GAUI can not lift the 550d, it has to be modified quite a lot for carrying that much payload.

Hi.
Sorry I can not comment on a specific motor. However the 1000kv is very high for that size motor. It almost looks like a helicopter motor. If you run that on 4S you will have a very high load if you run bigger props. On 10" props it would work I think, but will be a lot of energy wasted. The opto / non opto would not really affect you I think. Standard ESC work well.

Kind Regards

About 55cm shaft to shaft distance.

Thanx!
The video is runinng 30fps, recorded at 60, so 50% of original speed.

Hi!
It was filmed with a 550d 10-20lens.

Cheers!

Hi!
I used the stabilize feature in iMovie at about 4%.

Hi! The frame is quite a simple construction in Aluminium using 15x15mm arms with 1mm walls.

I would suggest that you get used to your 330x before expanding it, if you did not fly before, there is a lot of practice needed before going bigger.

You need to do a big modification, or in other words, you can keep the GU344 gyro and the rest needs to be changed.

PM me if you want more details.

Cheers!

I have been flying helis for a couple of years along with a mini indoor 4ch quadcopter. Of course i am not planning to modify immidietly need to get the feeling first.

I am not sure what you meant by 1mm wall. You mean the thickness of the material? Thnx for the info btw.

Last question: What about main plate dimensions? I am planning to install PS1 MKTR at some point. Any reccomendations?

My center plate is about 150x150 mm, but it could definetly be smaller. I did not have a CNC when i did it, so had to take what i had, it´s also done in 2mm Alu, not that light. Would do it now in fibreglass (1.5mm).

Brilliant. I can't thank you enough for these infos. Hopefully i ll be able to submit quality videos like yours one day for others to see.

Looking forward!
Send me a video when online!

Thanx for the nice comments.
If you count in radio + batteries charger etc etc its closer to 3-4k USD.

For starters I would however recomend something smaller to get used to flying.

Cheers!
