Hi everybody ,

I finally got a fancy tripod for my Canon powershot sx130-is camera. Now I can start sharing vid"s.

This is my Villain X project.
2x HPI GT550 mills (1400kv, 550 watt & 19t)
2x Octura X447 props (sharpened & balanced)
2x Octura 3.175 to 4mm propshafts
8x 4x8x3mm stainless abec bearings w/ Teflon seals
Villain EX water cooling system w/ carbonfibre h20 pick up
Astroflight 212D ESC, JR servo & spekky SR3001 pro Rx
Batteries I run her on are:

Gens ace 5000mah 40c 2s, Thunder Power 3850mah 35c 4s & Venom 5000mah 25c 5s2p.
Alright here's a first video attempt with my camera on this tripod, I have got to say this camera shoots some really nice high definition video, I like it. Here's my 2s test run.

Here's the first video of the villain, on a thunder power 3850mah 40c 4s lipo.
This thing will flat chit' & get . the first time I pulled it in was to clear seaweed from the prop cause it was cavitating. Next time I'll get a better angle with the camera so it covers the water better.

The good news is the drive gear didn't blow, it spit the set screw out of the drive gear instead. I thread locked in a new set screw, so she's ready to run......
