Money Shot X8

Money Shot Cinema TX

CM01640

The Money Shot Cinema Drone is a first of its 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. 

What you see here is the sum of years of hard work, extensive research and development and countless hours / dollars spent testing, retesting and testing again. 

The Money Shot X8 Cinema Drone is capable of carrying a large cinema camera/lens payload with total weight up to 10 lbs. With your camera of choice on board, the aerobatic magic your pilot and DP will be capable of should not be taken lightly... these shots could cause a director to immediately go into cardiac arrest. 

Top speeds in excess of 99 mph, unparalleled maneuverability and endless barrel rolls are just the icing on the cake, with a creative visionary behind the monitors, the possibilities here are absolutely endless. 

You're welcome. 

No longer will your aerial shots be constrained by straight and level flight. No longer will your cinematic vision be limited by gimbal functionality and boring flight paths. With this new tool in your toolbox, if you can imagine it - your pilot can capture it.
