Check out the first flight of our RED EPIC M on the CineStar 8.

Using the latest composite technology, the CineStar 8 is an extremely lightweight and rigid aerial platform. This innovative design allows for higher payloads and longer flight times.

The 2 axis CineStar camera gimbal is completely adjustable to accommodate a wide range of cameras from small DSLR's all the way up to the Red EPIC.

The CineStar 8 in this video weighs 6lbs ready to fly and is lifting a 10lb payload, over 1.5 times its own weight!

    Wow very impressive two questions:

    1) What happens if one of the propeller engines looses power or fails? Will the others compensate for a safe return?

    2) What were the settings on the EPIC? Looks like 120fps played back at 30 or 24p.

    You got some cojones for placing such a camera on that!

    Hi James!

    1) Yes, in an ideal world it would work as described.

    2) This was 120FPS on a 24P timeline

    3) not Cojones, just plain stupid! ;)

    any realtime playback footage possibly? Amazing so far but I wonder how smooth it is when hovering and circling like it was in real time.

    any plans to have a pan feature on this mount?
  •  
  • Mr_Handsome 4 months ago
    Looks nice. Do you plan to run the 2-axis camermount or will you use a 3-axis solution. If a 3, what kind?
    Ah.. just same question as Justin above. Curious since I will invest in the Cinestar (in Sweden)
  •  
  • tabb firchau plus 4 months ago
    Hey guys, 3 axis is on the way! Just working on the best way to implement a slop free, lightweight design. We have several designs we are testing now.

    Any hints? I was planning on the AV200 360 Degree Pan Kit but since I can't see the product before I buy it I need all the help I can get. Have you testet that mount? Reactions?
  •  
  • Gary Roberts 2 months ago
    I noticed you didn't fly it very high. Does the weight of the Epic prevent it from going much higher, or did you just choose to keep it low?
  •  
  • Augusto Lombardi 2 months ago
    do you have also some shooting test at normal speed? just to enjoy the effective stabilization level
  •  
  • Carlos R. Dueñas 2 months ago
    Are you powering the Epic from where? i don't see the sidehandle. Great setup.
