    Align Multicopter Align G3 tuning

    Would love to see some unedited footage. I cannot get rid of the tilt vibrations that seem to plauge almost all footage i've seen :(

    Cinestar 8 w/ Dual Controllers, Aerial & Handheld 3-Axis Gimbal

    Your going to have to bump it alot longer to get anything near that price. These things take a worse depreciation hit then a brand new car rolling off the lot. I'd be even surprised if it sold at 50% of your current asking price, same with the other high end x8 build currently avaible.

    Align Multicopter Binlagin's M480L X8

    M480L x8 Pixhawk Auto-tune and GPS position hold demo. I have 8 full charges now in heavy lift configuration. Next steps are to get the G3 gimbal and LX100 back on the copter, and figure out how to get the landing gear to clear the props

    Align Multicopter has anybody gone away from stock gain settings?

    When I was running the APS-M. When carrying my gimbal, I turned the roll and tilt gains down 2-3%. I turn down my yaw gain by 7% or so... it really help reduce vibrations in the video.

    Drone flying, Bahamas

    My trip was last month.. so yeah... very strange. We handed our immigration cards to the immigration desk in the Nassau airport. Then you proceed to collect your luggage and go through an area where you may be selected for additional baggage check before your allowed to leave. They signalled...

    Lipo price vs. quality

    I'm loving my cheapo turnigy packs for my medium lifter (Align M480L + G3 gimbal + LX100)... SleepyC is 100% correct though. 1 out of every 10 cheapo pack will not be usable upon arrival. I break these apart for their good cells and build packs for other things like RC cars or arduino...

    Drone flying, Bahamas

    I flew my phantom there, no issues. Customs didn't even look twice at it. I wasn't around many tourist areas, or people for that matter though once we left nassau.

    Align Multicopter Binlagin's M480L X8

    Honestly, there is a few reasons. I did suffer a Flyaway, however... this was my fault as I forgot to remove the bluetooth unit before taking off. The APSM returned to home and descended within a 1.5m radius of power on location, however the APS-M did not override the failsafe state when I...

    Align Multicopter Binlagin's M480L X8

    A very quick demo of the Pixhawk autopilot flight controller I installed onto my Align M480L. I still keep the APS-M on my craft to control the landing gear. I use the Aux PWM output available on the Pixhawk to connect to the APS-M, I set the APS-M in "'conventional" mode and connect the...

    Just finished installing the Pixhawk. I removed my props and ran my motor tests :) Here she is connected to GCS via USB. I ran into a few minor issues, but I'll sort those out tonight. I will provide full details and some video once I'm a little further along. I just read something about the...
