Draganflyer X8 Helicopter To Carry VDSLR Cameras

March 29, 2010 by Gear

Draganflyer X8 UAV (unmanned ariel vehicle) helicopter will be able to carry video DSLR cameras for HD video and stills. I have been watching the Draganflyer develop for the last couple of years in anticipation of getting to use a full sensor DSLR with it. The Draganflyer is essentially an advanced RC (Remote Controlled) helicopter that you have to see to believe. Check out the way it’s predecessor, the X6, handles photo and video.

The new model, which will be out later this year, has 8 blades and can carry a heavier payload.

From the Draganflyer Gallery

The Draganflyer X8 helicopter is a miniature aircraft for commercial/industrial aerial video and photography. The unique design utilizes eight main horizontal rotor blades and allows the Draganflyer X8 helicopter to hover efficiently and maneuver rapidly using differential thrust. Eight efficient, electric motors allow the Draganflyer X8 to carry heavier and more advanced payloads while providing more safety features than ever before.

This allows the Draganflyer X8 to carry a select variety of digital SLR cameras and various 1080p video cameras.


You can stay up to date on the companies website. Be sure to watch more video of the X6 in action, especially the one about how hard it is to crash one of these flying marvels.
