    After reading the HL thread, I'm looking to acquire some quick hit advice from you....

    I have 3 multi's to spec for self build for HL film application, in the coming few weeks.

    I'd also like to spec an off the shelf complete HL build kit.

    My build list so far.

    CS8 Frame (HL upgrades where available)
    550 Booms
    Freefly Control set, dist board, esc loom

    Motors????
    Props????

    DJi Wookong M
    Waypoints
    DJi iOSC
    DJi 58 Tx and Rx

    Battery 10,000 6S

    Running a Cinestar 3 axis Gimbal
    Radian x3
    Camera ...Red Epic or Sony S

    Very interested in "real" and recent experience of flight times, motors and prop advice.

    I was thinking of utilising Axi 4120 motors, but there is a big difference in mounting points to have the motors mounted onto the existing CS8 motor mount plates.

    Is it frame suicide to consider such powerful motors, and has it been done successfully???

    If so how could you mount them, is there an off the shelf fitting plate available, to mount to a CS8?
    I will need 8 x 3 plates...

    Or....what other motors do you recommend, Tiger MT's seem to get mentioned regularly, any reason why???

    Mucho appreciated in advance
