Coming from a Video Engineer the problem is not "take this digital signal, make it analog" but you also have to down scale it as well. The best scalers from companies like Extron, Kramer, ProBel and others are on the order of a single video line (30 fps*1080 lines = 32400 lines per second). They...

I'd be interested in registering with a UK wide flying club. I would also be prepared to contribute membership fees for access to some form of public liability insurance. For me this is still a hobby, but there is nothing wrong with following professional practices. Although for quite a few...

I guess the biggest advantage of this is longevity and instant recharge.

Haberdashers/Fabric/Materials shops have been the best for me, especially if you don't mind it being blue and are handy with an electric carving knife or hot wire cutter. Other than that you're looking for "pick and pluck" foam, so its whatever size sheets you need...

Been there, done that (thank Jeebus for insurance) when my tripod collapsed with the DSLR on it. Hows the Cinistar? As to repairing the camera damage, I suspect something like http://sugru.com/ is what you need.

Military Surplus stores have served me well over the years. Combine that with a some foam, a hot glue gun, and an electric bread knife and you are 99% of the way to a custom solution :)

Good, Fast, Cheap, you may choose up to any two. It might sound trite but I have found it to be true for a number of situations. These have been words to live by in my broadcasting and IT background.

Wiring harness is the most messy, but most weight efficient (unless you start putting huge connectors on it....) A distro board is probably the next best and cirtainly the cleanest install but you need enough copper on it not to turn into a big fuse :) Copper rings could work, but you would...

Its been a while since I posted, but its one thing I have learned over the years is that they will always fly..... its landing the thing that gets tricky :) If you haven't already read them http://www.multirotorforums.com/showthread.php?626-Multirotor-Pre-flight-and-Post-Flight-Checklist...

In case you weren't aware Bart (probably are) that wheel is more likely a "follow focus" rather than a zoom.

Doesnt help if you pitch it into the unforgiving embrace of a cast iron statue (or in my case, dexion shelving...) bit everywhere. Everyone remembers the Pod Race crashes in Star Wars The Phantom Menace..........

You'll be looking for a "12v Lipo charger" there are many about but as with everything you get what you pay for.

This is winning, right here.
