The new 2013 SteadiDrone QU4D is a high performance, ultra strong, lightweight carbon fibre quadcopter designed for everyday aerial stills and shooting HD video from the air. The QU4D is specifically developed around the GoPro range of HD cameras and ideal with the GoPro 3 Black Edition for capturing HD aerial footage like never before!

The QU4D features a unique motor mount vibration damping system! The SteadiDrone foldable arm system allows for two different 'flight modes', normal, with the arms positioned like a 'traditional' quad, squared, or in 'Hero' mode, with the arms angled much wider apart to allow for filming with the GoPro without getting the props in shot, even at 170'! The arms also fold up completely so you can hit the road within seconds, no tools needed! We believe it's the best high performance camera quadcopter available!

Key Features that set the QU4D apart

• Foldable motor arms with two flight modes - 'NORMAL' square quadcopter or 'HERO' mode for wide angle filming
• SteadiDrone Vibration Damping System for smooth video and jello free filming
• 5 second deployment - folds up into a very compact size for travel and storage with no tools!
• GoPro camera bracket, simply mount your camera and fly!
• GPS system with altitude hold, position hold, return to home and more
• Ultra durable Carbon Fibre airframe with loads of room for extras and looks great
