do you have official papers (pdf) about this? ULM is no problem but what about the "homologate multirotor"... i am using a dji equipped system. Is this a homologate multirotor? where do i have to go to get a permission? the flights are outside - no people, no house...

we are working for a 3D cinema documentary and we have to fly with our system for two days in france. we had our last job in france in 2011 and there was no problem to fly if one have a insurance. how is it now? did anything change? where do i have to write to to get a permission if so? thank...

take the kopter indoors and look at the IMU (right side of it). Inside the IMU there is a LED blinking 9 times (you won't see this outside when the sun is shining). if it s blinking 9 times green, everything seems to be okay with wkm. but i guess it is blinking red at the third position? or may...

as i said i wouldn't start one of my cinestar8 with heavy cameras from hand... but a small kopter with a light camera. i even saw people with a X16 (okto with 16 motors) starting and landing this huge thing from hand... i would never ever do this because i need my fingers... oh and look at the...

imagine, you're standing on a small balcony of a big and high church and you want to film near to the walls of the church, wich isn't good to do when standing before the church on the ground. To start and land from hand is the best way to do this. Sure - it is good to have a small copter for...

It isn't a Problem to start a Multirotor from hand. I fly Helikopters and Big 3D Planes since many years and i started mikrokopter driven multirotors from hand without any problem. Once mikrokopter is calibrated, then you can start from everywhere - even from hand... I am in this business since...

is it possible to start a wkm system out of hand? calibrate the system on a flat surface, take it in hands over head, arming the system (motor start) and starting? we are filming in nature and sometimes it is hard to find a good place to start and it would be easier to start out of hands. we...

Hallo, ich suche einen Ersatzmann für verschiedene TV Produktionen. Was solltest du mitbringen? - Flugerfahrung mit Koptern und am besten auch mit anderen RC Modellen (Heli, Fläche). Ein erfahrener RC-Pilot eben, der weiß was er tut und die Gefahren kennt und abschätzen kann. - Erfahrung mit...

back... :) i kept the batteries warm (30 to 40 degrees with a big thermobox) and used a lighter camera. i didn't have any problems with the radio. everything was stable and wkm did his job perfectly. even the smsll batteries for the remotehead didn' make any trouble and they were cold as ice :)...

i think so :-) but i have good clothing, warm shoes and socks from my mother :-)

@araines2750: do you use the lipo batteie inside you DX8? may this could be the problem in the cold? we are at 2000m and at 2700m and i will do some testflights when we're there. i think this should be not to high... i built a light setup for this job and i will use the NEX7 not the FS100 to...

okay - thank you!!! so may it is a problem with the frozen air? (hope this is the right word for the shimmering ice in the air). failsafe should be set properly but i never tested it (i switched off the TX to see if it switch to failsafe - thats all). when wkm is coming back do i get the...

Hi there, are there any experiences in using a wkm kopter in cold conditions? (-10 degrees celsius and more) we have to do some flights for a documentary in the alps. i never flew in colder situations than 0 degrees. i have a solution to keep the batteries (and our fingers) warm... best...

@all: please take a look at your IMU after powering up. you'll see a green (or red) light blinking 9 times in a loop inside. please tell me how it is blinking and what setup you have (ESC, one or two batteries, Hexa, Okto, Quad) thank you for your help!!

the thing is: if you power up wkm directly at the batterie (before herkules III) you'll get 9 green lights. Me i cannot calibrate the system (or better it is hard to get it calibrated) when connected to herkules (with the RED light) but i can easily calibrate it when connected do the batterie...
