First flight of Cinetank with both an old GoPro Hero and a Mobius cam tied on with a couple of stiff rubber bands. The FC is my second 3DR APM 2.6 and without any changes it's pretty much raw from the box. I intend to dial it in later, but these are pretty amazing (IMHO) controllers, especially for the price. No, I'm not associated with these in any way, just a satisfied customer.
I've NEVER been able to tame the jello in the Mobius, no matter how many methods I've tried on a number of different "vibration absorbing" frames, swinging batteries, and every other method you can imagine. Nothing really worked as I would like it to probably due to the low mass of the Mobius. It's great on a glider, but other than that...
Bottom line, this frame does the job exactly as advertised. This video is not so much to compare video quality between the two cameras, but to show that without any fancy gels, foam rubber pads, etc.etc. this specific design takes care of the jello.
The videos are shaky since I was just getting used to this smaller frame and was pushing the sticks around a lot to check it all out. In full forward speed this thing could
be used as a quad racer, but when stopped it locks right in. I give credit to the frame, using the recommended motors, props, and ESCs. It's clear that these guys are serious and not prone to exaggeration of their product.
I don't work for or even know the fellows that designed and market this frame, but I can honestly state that it's one of the best deals out there. Not the least expensive, but it does what it's supposed to do, comes with first class hardware and parts, even some extra parts included. From what I've experienced, the customer service is second to none.
My setup:
Flying Cinema Cinetank V1
SunnySky X2216-8 1250 KV motors
30A SK ESCs
GemFan 8045 Carbon props
3DR APM 2.6 with GPS
G-Force 4S 2600 40C battery
Jeti radio system
RTF weight minus battery and cameras 1105 grams
Thanks for watching,

Next video will be made from an FPV POV...this first vid was all LOS, as is obvious towards the end. :) I notice that after processing everything looks a lot darker than the original.
