I know an actor in the event. We talked about recording it with the copter (at a time when I thought it had no roof over it). It came about very quickly; he saw my posts about getting the copter, they had their last non-dress rehearsal in two days' time, he asked around and was approved. Once...

Thank you, tstrike. I will listen to your advice, and spend considerably more time learning the craft in a safer environment. As far as checking the setting in the assistant, I got to the screen but did not understand the numbers. I did not want to make changes to the screen while not...

Strange, I came here to these forums where people talk about these things and supposedly help each other learn about them, asked to learn, and get insulted by you. I don't understand your comment about boxing it up without putting anyone else at risk. Wasn't everyone, at some point...

Thanks, Kilby. I'm looking in to getting a smaller craft, between the AR Drone and the 950 Carbon Core. After talking to Cliff at Atlanta Hobby, we think a 550 is more my speed until I up my skills. I also plan on flying more in parks and fields until it's second nature to maneuver with it...

Droider, I got the Hero 3 Black. They just released a firmware update to let it use the remote preview and camera controls from the iPad. I tried using it, but it's got a 3-5 second delay. This is useful if I just want to make sure I'm framing something that's not moving, but isn't good for...

I came here looking for help, but instead get this. Honestly, how is a person supposed to learn how to balance gimbals and figure out which way a prop washer goes on? I tried searching for help on those topics, and contacting the place I bought the craft from, before posting my questions here...

PaNt, the problem was, every time I plugged it in, it would "center" to about 15 degrees to the left, and 15 degrees back. This made all the shots look like they are from the scenes of the villains in Batman circa Adam West. Neighbor came by and made an adjustment in a couple of minutes, and...

My craft took on a mind of its own today and crashed into a ceiling 25 feet up. No one was hurt, the crash happened at least 50 feet away from humans and horses. It decided to go in to "return home" mode and ignored my attempts to control it; returning home requires going to 10m height and...

They were rehearsing for an event I am going to go record today. The gimbal was off center yesterday but is dead on today, so that won't be an issue. And they will be in full dress today (gladitorial stuff). This is my first time recording anything other than just flying the craft around my...

A neighbor who took a watch repair class came over and figured it out in about 5 minutes. Twisting something-or-other with an allen wrench. I didn't see what exactly, but it's level now :)

I am recording an event rehearsal today and it will be tilted. The real event is tomorrow, any help please?

Sorry I thought I had pasted it in to the post, obviously I was wrong: CarbonCore 950mm Hexacopter, 1.5mm Carbon Fibre Wookong-M Flight Controller AG550-NX Camera Gimbal 6-Turnigy Plush 40a ESC's 6-Rc Tiger Motors MT3515-15 Motors 2-Power Distribution Boards 6-Graupner 14" Propellers 6-Graupner...

Hello, Can someone please tell me how to make sure my gimbal is lined up correctly? As you can see from this video, it tilts to the left, and up. When I change the tilt, no matter how far down I go, you can still see arms, and not really "down," so it needs to come forward. And it's also...

Tony tells me I need this: http://www.rc-drones.com/dji-58-downlink.php And something to plug it in to. Any recommendations for something to plug it in to? Thanks!

Hello, I got a used AG550-NX Gimbal and have no clue how to use it. I looked online but could not find a manual. Could you please help me with a link to the manual so I can figure out how to use it? Right now, it's only good for mounting a camera on - it doesn't balance or allow control yet :)
