ELEV8 v2 First Flight with GoPro 4

TomWolves

I mounted my GoPro 4 under the ELEV8 V2 and did a short video with it. I couldn't go very high due to my house, garage, and trees so close by. I also hooked up led lights on the booms, but you can't see them on the video. When better, warmer weather comes I will take it out in a open field and giver her a go! What I don't like about this quad is as soon as they came out with the ELEV8 v3 they discontinued parts for the ELEV8 v2. I will say they have great Tech help and help in every way they can.

BTW, there are still parts available in the form of crash kits , etc.

Thanks Publison, but the parts that I want they do not have "bottom chassis plate" , and they only have the extra parts until they are gone. That is okay! Parallax is a great place.

In a pinch, the tech documents are still available at:

Someone can cut pieces from the docs.

the Chassis plates will be back up available for purchase within a week or so. Same with pretty much every other part of the v2. (until our stock runs out)

Tom - if it comes to that, I have a CNC and could pretty easily cut you a bottom plate, assuming the drawing is available somewhere. I usually keep a small stock of delrin around.
