Way back in 2015, we built a huge hexa-copter, we had dubbed Dragonfly, its purpose was to carry the miniaturized but still kind of heavy Fuji X-M1 camera. Including the battery and the 27mm F/2.8 lens, the payload for the drone was 407 grams. The camera featured an APS-C-sized 16-megapixel image sensor (23.60mm x 15.60mm).
While looking impressive on the ground and even more so in the sky, without a gimbal stabilizing the camera, this setup produced only a few usable results. I’m still proud of having built this copter and to have mounted a 2nd camera, showing what it would be like flying on-board Dragonfly.
