Hi there! I´ve been flying a MK OKTO XL with its MK SLR 2 gimbal and 5D, lately Sony 730.. I´m squeezing in to the industry and have been asked several times about the chance of lifting the mighty RED camera.I m very happy with MK electronics,the flight is inmaculate,rock solid, bot Im aware of the BL limitacions when it comes to big gear.My questions at this point are: Does Mk electronics responde the same with ESC convertors or alternative ones as POWERDRIVE etc? Is Wookong electronics a beter choice?how stable are they compared to MK? Has anybody tried coaxial hexacopter(12motors) with mk electronics, 3638mk engines? Here I post a litle test shot with the above setings, I would like to get similar results stab wise with Epic and CS Gimbal! Many thanks in advance! Alex
Hi Alex: There are quite a few postings on the topic of the Red Epic. You might be able to get more rapid answers if you post on one of those threads. I'm afraid I don't know the answers myself. Here's an example: http://forum.freeflysystems.com/index.php?threads/epic-on-the-cs-3-axis-gimbal.515/#post-5820 Hope this helps Andy
Hi Alex, here is my 12 motor cineStar with MK boards, it works great and super strong! I changed the mixer setup and propellers, check it here: Cheers, Ziv
Hi Ziv, That looks awesome!! I see your experimenting with props..how is that workingout? How much time would you get flying RED ? Heres a video I found on youtube, it seams to work!
Thats great, yep very similar. I think he has different motors, I thought to replace mine at some point as well.. Also, for the props, for now, Im using the 14" top and 13" bottom, I wonna replace the motors and test 15" or 16" on top and 14" or 13" bottom... In any case, its supper strong! Im off to Brazil for 10 days, once im back I will do some more tests with Red / air time etc.. cheers! ziv
Hi Ziv, did you ever come back from Brazl? I know its tough ahhaha! Have you had the chance of doing more testing? best regards, Alex
Hi Alex: If it's not too much trouble, would you be kind enough to change your user name to your real first name and last name, please? The reasons for this (and how to do do it) are explained here: http://forum.freeflysystems.com/index.php?threads/real-names.497/ Thanks Andy
Hi Alex, yep, we are back, Brazil was awesome!! I havent had a chance to do any tests with the 12 and red yet, Im building an extended CS8 now, to test and getting ready for the new FF boards... I will have that ready soon i hope.. Im building 3 new copters... it takes time!!! and then I will do some testing / comparing to the CS12 with different cameras etc.., Ill keep u posted, cheers! Ziv.
