Ended up with the deadcat version of the Mark 5 03 freestyle quadcopter. Deadcat, meaning you don't get any props in view. Same frame with just a different arm configuration. Same tune, slightly different control settings but still an awesome quad to fly. You don't realise no props in view would make that much of a difference. Socially distanced as I tested positive for covid on my return from Cyprus. All clear now though, as of this morning......Decide for yourselves -

No contest about the deadcat. I never understood how people accept to have props in view of the footage they want to use. I don't know if it's annoying for the pilot but it sure is for the viewer. So: way to go. Lovely light btw.

Exhilarating footage Corey.    Hopefully, you only had a mild cases of C19.  

Wow, beautiful colors!

It was a matter of swapping out a perfectly good quad for the DC version. Sadly wasn't an option till the X-Version decided to go snorkelling on it's own.....

I actually think that the results from this 03 unit are clearer, crisper and more vibrant than the other one....

All good now bud. Had the all clear last Weds morning, so only lasted a week this time. Only the 2nd time having it, but not nice all the same.

Yeah, one can (or should?) have only that many quads ;-)

Glad it was only a mild case.    Looking forward to seeing more of your epic videos.

I for sure think this looks like that!
