    4 axis as in full lift?
    Maybe a tad tricky depending on how much weight you are and whats going to sit on the frame.
    I would suggest a 2 DOF balanced pivot point under the full frame and either shoulder mount motors at rear or foot motor mount them.
    Full lift frame setups can get expensive as you require powerful motors to lift the whole thing.

    Could you draw up a sketch of how you might want to set it up please?
    Air pistons, I am not sure if there is an actual wiring setup, I think you would need a K8055, custom code to be written, air valves, etc.

    What is your budget? Those Obutto frames can be heavy.
