Hi TheUFGadget, thanks for your reply the frame is second hand and comes setup for a gopro but i want to use a better camera as im now fed up with the fisheye effect hence the Nex5 which seems to be the camera of choice due to size weight and footage quality landing gear is taken care of by...

Hi all, Ok where to begin I'm looking into buying a Tarot fy-680 with the view to using a sony Nex5 and brushless gimbal, after ringing around and speaking to some vendors here in the uk all i am getting is lots of sighs and sucking of air over teeth followed by oh you need a droidworx/ dji...

Nice video can i ask what camera you used?

I did think x8 having seen a guy lose a motor i barely noticed it whilst watching his video it was only his commentary that gave the game away, i'll have a measure up see what will go and what wont i think octo would be easier to set up than an X8 having read some of the problems if the...

Hi Tom, Thank's again for the reply yeah i can see why most would choose an Octo because of the better protection should you lose a prop even two, it's the sheer size that is the issue not sure i'd get one in the back of my volvo v50 not knowing anyone here in the UK that is local to me to try...

Hi Tom, Many thanks for your reply to my question i guess my next would be could i achieve video like your's with a Droidworx ADX-3 HL coaxial multi or is it best to go Hex or Octo?. My reason for the ADX-3HL is simply transportation and coaxial is ability to save if i lost a prop,motor,esc...

Hi Vin i have graupner 10x5's but ive not fitted the yet as i didnt build the hex Geoff did ive just read online that if im running a 5000mah 4's battery i should run 8 inch props? is this the case and they say if you run a 3's battery you can run 10x5's its all a bit confusing lol also are the...

Hi VinF550 I took my first step today once the rain had stopped long enough had my f550 in a hover for ten min's I'd like to fly FPV too eventually but one small step at a time. I need to save some cash for the other bits and bob's do you fly via monitor or fat shark goggles?

Hi Rodge, thanks for the reply and the advice all of which ive taken onboard, i did own a raptor 50 heli a few year's back and got to the hovering stage with it but that was it so it will be small steps at first get my confidence up and my flying skill's up before i try anything else. I'll be...
