Overview:
The KD Drones KD50 is a 5" X8 cinelifter designed to carry a Red Komodo, Sony FX6, BM4k/6k etc. It has a unique design where the 2 layers that hold the motors can be detached with only 2 plugs. No other X8 whoop cinelifter has this feature, they all require you to remove or de-solder the motors to open up the frame. It is also a double pusher for better efficiency and performance.
KD50 has KDCM/DAC camera mount holes at the front and middle, and also naked BM mounting holes. This allows for top or bottom mounted battery. The top and bottom plate can also fit together to make a KD50 X4. It's a compact, stiff frame with fantastic performance and is much much easier to build and maintain compared to traditional designs.
