X88-J Octocopter

I'm curious to know what you guys (multi-rotor experts) think of this bird?
-- I'm a little skeptical as to their claim "it's the largest" and being teh "ideal device for shooting aerial imaging" -->

What makes it so big? Looks like any other multi to me.

 

That's what I was thinking
... but consider the source, we have a photographer (as opposed to a "multi-rotor" flyer) looking get a DSLR airborne and I gather that's the largest he has ever seen.
... Certainly the article would have been written differently if reviewed on a RC site !?!

"X88-J a regular multirotor for your regular camera."

 

They stated "It's the largest" but they don't give any size specifics. I have seen some over one meter designs that appear to be bigger than this with larger propellers that should carry more weight. Carrying a DSLR isn't a big deal. Carrying a loaded RED camera is more of a big deal and that's been done many times already.
I personally don't like the design of the arms on the O.P. frame. There are certainly better "foldable" arm designs out there.
