    Should be a 4k 3G gimbal... The frame transitions from an shallow upside down V to a shallow V to get the legs out of the field of view. Expect light bridge or something similar to be integrated for video downlink to the transmitter.

    Looks like my charger may be on its way out. I'm using a IMAX B6-AC right now, but I want to upgrade to something with more amperage. What do you guys use or recommend? Seems like all the chargers I find are either $50 and have a chance of blowing up or cost $200+. I don't want to spend $200 on a charger and be disappointed so I would love some recommendations before I go out and drop some coin.

    I will see if I can get the info from mine. I love it, I think I paid $120 and it can charge 2-6S and it has an auto cut off feature when the proper voltage exists in the battery.

    That would be much appreciated. Charging at 1C sucks. It sucks even more when the charger thinks 3.97v is a full charge :(

    Awesome, you guys are giving me some great options here, thanks! I like the looks of the duo, 2x10A would be very nice. While doing my research I saw this: Cellpro PowerLab 8 probably overkill and needs a pretty big external power supply.
