There are many features we like very much, such as integrated PCB board for easy cabling, foldable arms for easy transportation (no tools needed) and motorized landing gear so it will not block the camera 360 degrees view, these are good news for Aerial Filming users. We also the design of the frame, the low center of gravity Battery Mount for more stable flight, the position is movable to best balance, 165mm Gimbal Rail System to work with Tarot 3-Axis Brushless Motor Gimbal and special shape arms can hold the ESC inside for cleaner layout, even the Motor Mount has dampers to minimize vibration generated from the propeller, and best of all, this 1000 class airframe is easy to transport, how’s that?

The arms can be folded downward with a flip on the lever on each arm, make it transportable within 30 seconds and put it inside the trunk of a car. So how about the rotors? The factory recommends you use the Tarot 15 inch foldable propeller and Tarot 4114 320kv motor, so that makes one very portable and reliable platform to carry your expensive DSLR camera into the sky, all handled by one man.
