Don't you thing this is a bad copy of the M816?

It has a higher center of gravity, looks to be shorter lighter boom and the cable used looks smaller. But all the pieces are in the same place. It looks like you have to move the gondola before use.

I wonder what the specs are on this.

When something is built stricktly for function, it's hard not to copy somebody else, just look at components, nuts, bolts, the steering wheel anything that reached it's prime a long time ago.....
