Would like to know what you quad builder guys think about this. Price to spec value, expandability, etc…
Looks very decent. I wonder what camera did they use in the video.
Dude…those must be some pretty potent motors. You could fit a lot of sensors and camera gear in 2 lbs.
Looks like a good selection of parts. The markup isn’t outrageous. Frame looks good although at that price I’d expect a little more carbon fibre. I’ve spent almost that amount on my quad with hand selected parts and home built frame. This would be a decent kit to start with if you already have a radio.
Unfortunately, they suggest a 6-channel radio, and my old Futuba that I just recently unearthed from storage (working after more than 20 years in storage…go figure) is only 4 channel. 
So I guess no super-expensive quadcopter for devhammer!
You could probably fly it just fine on 4-channels but if you wanted cameras, bombs, etc. then you might need a few more 
@ Ian
Don’t encourage me…I’ve spent enough on toys this month without dreaming of a quadcopter.
Besides, if I was going to do cameras, toy bombs, etc., those’d be controlled by the on-board mcu, not the RC. 
How would you activate them? Unless you’re going to program in GPS instructions you have to get a signal to the copter some way.
Details, details…why let a little thing like details get in the way of a good fantasy?
Not like I’m going to be spending $600 on a quadcopter any time soon, anyway.
