I have been to the Drone Vibes FB page many times and "liked it" as well. It never shows up on my news feed. The only way I can see what is happening is to perform a search and go to their FB page directly. Normally when you hit the like button the liked page or ad will appear often on your news...

I found a general outline for a flight manual on the internet and am using it. Here's my table of contents page. Actually once you get going its really pretty easy. Of course I'm only at the beginning and it will get tougher as I get to the maintenance, emergency procedures etc. Once I get this...

So I just read up on the DJI Mavic. It has some impressive features like follow mode and other modes that make it very attractive to the first time drone buyer. It boasts 27 minutes of flight time and 4 miles of range? WTF! It kind of stole the Karma's thunder. Once again time will tell if it...

So it looks like go pro may not have jumped the shark after all. The hero 5 is cheaper than the 4 and it has better features plus its waterproof (resistant). No more case. It assembles time lapse into a video without further editing. Shoots 4k, voice activated. Looking forward to seeing some...

blah blah blah

http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/drone-crashes-british-airways-passenger-7776727 Oh wait, No it didn't. They haven't confirmed anything, they only think the plane hit something on approach. Actually very little information in the article and nothing to suggest it was a drone except the...

So I got my gimbal up and running and its tuned decent for now but I will be refining it eventually. I am running an aftermarket gimbal with an alexmos 32 bit controller. I have a sony nex 7 with the stock lens which is an 18-55mm. I am considering changing it to the 16mm pancake lens. Is it...

It's always good when things work exactly how you've planned. Nice and level, good hold in GPS mode, 15 minutes without camera and gimbal, my FPV system is still giving me grief but that's a minor issue. Time to get my gimbal set up.

Just finished up a Tarot 960 build and I'm setting up my gimbal/camera. I set up a remote shutter on my sony nex 7 and the electronic IR module seemed to be working fine but it would only trigger the video function occasionally and the photo function would miss every now and then too. I had the...

Just dropped 2 brand new battery's on my garage floor, haven't even charged them yet. Grrr.... that's $100 worth of battery's that I can never trust because they each have a nice dent on the corner.

So this is the ground test of my new Tarot 960. I had 65 lbs of bricks tethering it down and you can see when I let off the throttle it was actually lifting them a little. It leveled off at 105 amps at full throttle with 17" props. Tired to do a quick test flight but I had my battery low voltage...

When you talk about how much payload a MR will lift are the batterys usually included in that number? For instance, if someone says a MR will handle a 3kg payload is that the gimbal and camera only or is it the gimbal, camera and batterys? I have been having a hard time finding the max payload...

Aerial photography and videography using drones by Eric Cheng The wife bought me this book for Christmas. The price on the cover is way more than I would pay but we have a amazon prime account and it was on sale to boot. The author has been in the industry since 2012, he is a underwater...

So my current build will have EC-5 connectors. I have never got a chance to look at one up close. I bought a couple and need some info. I'm thinking the female plastic part goes on the battery side and the male plastic goes on the other side. But does the female part hold 2 female bullet...

I'm in the middle of a new build and I will be using 6S batteries. The charger I have now will not put out enough power to charge a 6S battery in a reasonable amount of time. Looking to buy a new charger and I see that the DC input types have the most choices. My question is if I get a charger...

Technically speaking you have an amateur radio license of at least technician class to use 5.8 ghz FPV (and other) systems. No one is enforcing it and I don't think the Ham community has a problem with the FPV guys but it is a requirement. I had my general class license before I started in...

In terms of heavy lift capability's what's the difference between a straight octo set up as opposed to the octo X where the props are stacked on top of each other? Does the octo X have better lift? which one is better in high winds? Does one control better that the other? Why would one choose...

Hello, My name is John and I have been building and flying multirotors for a couple of years now. Started with a phantom and then built a flame wheel 450, walkera turbo ace x 830 and then a Tarot Ironman 680. Trying to start a business and find that niche thing that people need a UAV for. Hope...
