    Sleepy Reviews Insight 5G 1080P 100mW Full HD Digital Video Transmission System

    Sort of. I have it working but haven't flown to see the range. Blackmagic micro cam kicks into SD when overlays are on. Does me no good. There is more lag then I have on the Inspire and Mavics previews. Going to be windy for a few days so no flying for a while. Hit 60 mph yesterday. Image...

    Sleepy Reviews Insight 5G 1080P 100mW Full HD Digital Video Transmission System

    even with hot glue, the antenna's are going to be problematic. Those are the same connections they use on the wifi connection inside our laptop computers. Wouldn't have cost much (a few pennies) t0o make a more robust antenna connection...... Those are just insanely poor. Trying to figure...

    Sleepy Reviews Insight 5G 1080P 100mW Full HD Digital Video Transmission System

    I bought one and IMO, so far it's a waste. Terrible design with the connections for the antenna. Those are connection for tied down inside of a box, not dangling from a moving flying machine. I'm getting intermittent video on the preview and as I'm' testing it, the friggin fan motor has...

    Sleepy Reviews Insight 5G 1080P 100mW Full HD Digital Video Transmission System

    Can't wait to see your distance with it in the air. Thanks for the review. As to the tablet, the Nividia K1 tablet ($200 ) would be the go to tablet for this as it has an HDMI out jack for the screen, has an micro hd slot, plus it has an extremely robust screen recorder which uses very little...

    I have both the Inspire and Mavic. I would suggest it's too early. The Phantom 4 Pro and Mavic are the leaders in this castegory right now. But, read the forums and check youtube. I saw more than a few video's of guys skiing and on mountain bikes trying to make it work It does to some...

    XAircraft SuperX on heavy lifter

    I have a couple x8's around 850mm with auw of 20lbs. Have run Naza V2 on one for ever with no issues. Like it better than the other FC's I've tried on the other. Lately hasn't handled as well in wind, but probably needs some tuning. I fly gh3, gh4, & BlackMagicMicro (which is now my...

    DJI files patent suit against Yuneec

    Pitching is from a small firm. No reason others can not step their game. Be funny when DJI duplicates Litchi's features then get sued.

    2015 NAB News: Blackmagic Micro Cinema Cam, Tiny, Drone-Specific Super16 RAW Camera

    You can assign any of them. I'm currently using one 8, 11, 12 or something like that. There are 4 or 5 categories on the camera menu. Last one is radio and you just pict sbus, then go assign the feature to the channel you want to use... Then set that channel up on your radio accordingly.

    Help with Tarot 680 build component list

    After reading about the Fixhawk here on multirotor forums, I bought one to replace one of my 2 Pixhawks that I crashed which caused the gps connection to come off the Pixhawk which is surfaced mounted and not fixable. Anyway, it took forever to get here and after having problems getting the...

    2015 NAB News: Blackmagic Micro Cinema Cam, Tiny, Drone-Specific Super16 RAW Camera

    Nothing to share yet as just back yard testing so far. 1st couple days were in high winds and got some micro jitters. Was using my larger (very heavy) DYS Eagle Eye 5d gimbal with Phobotic. Couple observations I'm willing to make with just short testing so far. 1. Tech support at Black Magic...

    2015 NAB News: Blackmagic Micro Cinema Cam, Tiny, Drone-Specific Super16 RAW Camera

    My BMMC is in the states and they will be shipping it today or tomorrow. I'm hoping Wed or Thursday. Batteries, lens, etc are ready to go. With any luck, slap that bad boy on the gimbal, auto tune, fine tune, and and figure how to get 4 channels into it. I hope I don't have to make a...

    2015 NAB News: Blackmagic Micro Cinema Cam, Tiny, Drone-Specific Super16 RAW Camera

    NAB is about 4-5 weeks out. Might be the first time in history I ordered something announced at NAB and hadn't received it by the following NAB. Man, it's very quiet at BM about this camera. Wonder how many firmware updates Nicholas has had and if this is the same camera from his early test.

    DJI Inspire 1 Pro against GH4 - 4K videos

    I have 6 MR's, kind of similar to Sleepy, x8's, quads, just no hex's or octo's, and mine are all DIY except for Inspire. I have workable gimbals, but not the Gremsy or the Movi. I concur 100% of what SleepyC is saying about the Inspire as compared to the rest of the MR reality. Repeat 100%...
