The Money Shot Mini is a first of it's kind, poised to revolutionize how you capture aerial footage. Our design has roots in the X Class FPV Drone racing world, where we - Catalyst Machineworks - dominate all competition. We used our extensive experience in the world of drone racing to build the foundation upon which this masterpiece was created... from there, we utilized our flawless design and testing methodology to transition the application from racing to cinema use. 

Small Size BIG Power: 

The Money Shot Mini is the smallest offering in our cinema product lineup and spins 9" props. Don't let it's small size fool you this bird has MASSIVE power packed into the smallest package possible. At only 17" in diameter (430mm motor-1 to motor-4) this little guy can make your proximity dreams a reality! How can such a tiny craft move such large payloads at 99+ MPH?! High voltage and big motors are the key! The MS mini uses an 8s power system instead of 6s, and large stator 3120 motors. At full throttle this bird can produce approx 62 LBS of thrust. With a Komodo and 1.5 LB lens attached your thrust/weight ratio will be 5:1! 

Camera Compatibility:

The Money Shot Mini does not limit you to the Red Komodo or Zcam "box style" cameras. You are free to stick just about any camera / lens combo you want on the camera mount as long as payload doesn't go over 5 LBS. Camera angle adjustment possible from 0 - 45 degrees. The camera mount plate will accept standard 1/4"-20 mounting and 3/8"-16. The mount uses an antivibration damper design to give you that butter smooth footage the cinema world demands. 

Reliability:

Does reliability matter to you? That question is silly. Of course it does! Don't trust your expensive cinema camera to hobby grade gear! 

• Power System -  The Money Shot Mini uses commercial grade motor speed controller and power distribution boards supplied by our partner, Advanced Power Drives. Each motor has it's own dedicated ESC and each motor set (4 motors) uses a dedicated power distribution board (1 PDB per motor set). Advanced Power Drives is the undisputed leader in reliable power delivery for large high speed FPV craft. They are literally the only company we trust for this application. 
• FPV System - The DJI FPV system has it's own dedicated lipo battery to provide constant reliable power. DO NOT trust your FPV system stability with a hobby grade stepdown!
• Flight Control - The flight controller used on our bird is the Brain FPV Radix 2. Brain FPV is located in the USA and well known as the most reliable option available for large high speed FPV craft. We use them exclusively in our Xclass racing builds. There is good reason for this! Brain FPV tests every single FC that leaves their doors. They do not perform sample based QC like Chinese manufacturers. 

Batteries and Flight Time: 

To achieve 8s power a couple 4s packs are wired in series. One battery is mounted to the top of the bird and one on bottom. Batteries are easy to source and the battery type used is very inexpensive! We suggest anywhere from 5000mah to 8000mah 4s packs. Select higher capacity for heavier cameras. The Money Shot Mini is extremely efficient. With 8000mah expect up to 8 minutes flight time under typical flying conditions! The lipos are mounted to battery trays that are removable via toolless quick release. This is important during a shoot when you need rapid efficient replacement of the packs. Don't fumble around with velcro straps in front of your client! Remove the lipos and re-install within seconds.
