UPDATE 1-22-23: Lead time is around 10 - 12 business days for this build to order drone. 

The Thrustmaster cinelifter has the capability to carry a cinema camera in ways never before possible using one drone. Lets look at the history of cinelifters in general. In the beginning, everyone wanted to mount their camera straight to the top of the bird to achieve those dynamic 'FPV style' shots that DP's and directors salivate over. Then pilots and manufacturers had the "wild" idea of attaching a gimbal to an FPV cinelifter! This provides the performance, accuracy of flight, and agility that only an FPV drone can provide yet adds the obvious advantages of gimbaled camera carry. The problem with existing market offerings is they only provide the ability to top mount the gimbal. This limits the types of shots you can get! For a true multipurpose cinelifter you need to have the option for bottom gimbal mount as well. The Thrustmaster is the answer and allows you to quickly move from any of the 3 configurations rapidly on set. 

MoneyShot cinema is the first manufacturer to release a true non-DIY professional FPV cinelifter with our original MoneyShot 13" X8 for full size RED carry back in Spring of 2020. Immediately after we launched that product RED camera released the Komodo and we set out to shrink down our bird into the MoneyShot Mini 9" X8. After enjoying wild success in the Cinelifter community selling the Mini X8 we redesigned the bird into the Mini V2 10" Y6. This newer version improved the design drastically in some areas and was also extremely successful. After gathering loads of valuable feedback from our customers we are now offering the new Thrustmaster 10" X8 to give you everything you asked for, and more. Please watch our engineer's CAD design review video for a full rundown of all the new goodies!
