Hi all
I'm looking to purchase a CarbonCore Cortex X8 (Google CarbonCore Cortex – I can't post a link yet as I'm too new here!) and a brushless gimbal to use for aerial photography / videography, and I plan to use the AutoQuad as the flight controller.
Can anyone see any reasons why this wouldn't be a good idea? The AQ seems incredibly flexible so I imagine it should be possible to get this type of setup working superbly? I'm looking at the ARTF Cortex which comes with 40-size Tiger motors (I think, made for CarbonCore), 40A 400Hz ESCs (not sure of the brand), 15x5" Tiger V2 props on top and 16x5.4" Tiger V2 props on the bottom. One thing to note is all the top props rotate anticlockwise, and all the bottom props rotate clockwise – that shouldn't be an issue I assume?
I've put one other question on this forum already, but thought I would also put it here. Are new AQ boards now 6S compatible or would I still have to replace the Recom regulators myself to do this?
I'm excited by the potential of the AQ, and the demo videos I've seen so far have been extremely impressive. I'm a little concerned by the crash reports I've heard, but I've been trying to follow the threads to understand why they occur.
Many thanks for your support
David
