Taurus X8 Pro O3 BNF 8S HD Cinelifter - Choose Receiver - TBS Crossfire Diversity RX

Product Description

The iFlight Taurus X8 Pro HD is the ultimate heavy-lift evolution in the Taurus lineup. While the V3 is a powerful cinema tool, the Pro version is designed with even more structural reinforcement and upgraded electronics to handle the most expensive cinema payloads with professional-grade redundancy.

Industrial-Grade Redundancy: The X8 Pro is designed for reliability on professional sets. The coaxial 8-motor configuration ensures that even if a motor or propeller fails, the flight controller can compensate to bring your multi-thousand-dollar camera package back to the ground safely.
Reinforced CNC "Exoskeleton": The Pro version utilizes high-strength CNC aluminum components at all critical stress points. This creates an incredibly rigid spine that prevents frame resonance, ensuring that your stabilized footage remains buttery smooth even when flying at high speeds.
High-Voltage 12S Support: Unlike standard 6S rigs, the Taurus X8 Pro is often configured to run on 12S (dual 6S) power. This provides lower current draw and massive torque, allowing for more consistent performance and longer flight times when carrying payloads up to 3kg.
Integrated O4/O3 HD System: Comes pre-installed with the latest DJI digital transmission, providing the pilot and camera op with a crystal-clear 1080p feed. This is essential for precision framing during complex chase scenes or tight indoor-to-outdoor transitions.

Recommended Battery: 2 * 6S 5600mAh - 8000mAh (Series or Parallel)

The Pilot's Reality Check:

Professional Skill Required: This is not a "plug-and-play" hobby drone. Operating an X8 Pro on a film set requires a certified pilot and often a dedicated camera operator. The weight and power of this rig make it a serious piece of machinery.
The "Coaxial" Efficiency: While X8 drones provide incredible thrust and stability, they are slightly less efficient than a standard Flat-8 because the bottom props are spinning in the "wash" of the top props. Expect flight times of 5–8 minutes depending on your camera weight.

🤔 Frequently Asked Questions

Why does it have 8 motors instead of the usual 4?
This is an "X8" configuration, meaning two motors are mounted on each of the four arms (one pointing up, one down). The primary reason is redundancy and payload. If one motor or ESC fails mid-air, the remaining motors can still keep the drone level and allow you to land safely, protecting your multi-thousand-dollar cinema camera.
Can it carry a full-sized cinema camera like a RED Komodo?
Yes, that is exactly what it was built for. It has a recommended payload of 1kg to 1.5kg, with a maximum limit of 2kg. It features a silicon-ball dampened camera base to eliminate "jello" and vibrations, which is crucial when shooting high-resolution cinematic footage.
Is this a 6S or an 8S drone?
While many iFlight drones are 6S, the Taurus X8 Pro is often configured as an 8S system. The higher voltage (up to 33.6V) is necessary to provide the "asjalik" torque and efficiency required to move such a heavy craft. Using 8S also helps keep the current (amps) lower, which reduces heat and stress on the electronics during long cinematic takes.
How long can I fly with a heavy camera attached?
Flight times are shorter than a Mavic but longer than a typical racer. With an 8S 5000mAh battery and a 1.5kg payload, you can expect about 5 to 6 minutes of flight. If you fly without a cinema camera (just for testing or fun), it can stay in the air for up to 12 minutes.
Does it have GPS features for safety?
Yes, it comes with a pre-installed GPS module. It is configured with GPS Rescue by default. If the drone loses radio or video signal, it will automatically climb and fly back toward the takeoff point. This is a vital "insurance policy" when flying in complex environments or over distance.
