Default QAV400 quadcopter

Just ordered one! Also ordered some sunnysky 980's.
Will post back on here with build progress and review.

The plan is to use as a close proximity quad, with great gopro footage flying fast.

Sound good - I really like the look of the QAV quads- the isolation for camera etc looks neat and better than the TBS route. Also the size looks spot on - I'd have gone for the 400 over the 500 too
Did you order from US?

Yes, like the idea of no vibrations for vid footage.
Ordered the frame from a guy on eBay, £130 for frame. Not cheap but

One of the team pilots (juz70) is testing a brushless gimbal that is due out soon

Should all be delivered tomorrow so will have it built in the next few days hopefully.

What's better over the TBS discovery?

When I see the FPV stuff, I will soon remember this Guy "Justin Welander", have you some guys see his video? It is amazing.
