    Hello! From the "Show Me State" (ughm...Missouri?)....Kansas City area

    Also, the NEO looks good. If you want to compare on a front mount FPV model, take a look at the QAV 400 or 500. This is the frame that FPV guys tend to use if not the TBS Discovery. Look up Juz and MidwestRob on youtube, you'll see what it can do. Are you sure you want an FPV style, though...

    Futaba T8J. Does everything I need it to, but if I want pan AND tilt I'd need to upgrade.

    Hello! From the "Show Me State" (ughm...Missouri?)....Kansas City area

    Hey simmelt, I'm out in Columbia, just east on I 70 from you. The phantom is an ok starter craft, but if you want to expand you are pretty limited in camera choice. I went a little nuts and did an f550 build as my first attempt for an ap\av platform, but haven't looked back in regret. I'm...

    DJI F550 for fixed GoPro/Nex work AV

    Washers - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0042UBWCE/ref=oh_details_o08_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 They were a little on the large size inner diameter, but I wasn't able to find smaller ones. They seem to fit well enough. There wasn't much of a difference hand turning the motors, but when I...

    DJI F550 for fixed GoPro/Nex work AV

    So far so good on the on the sorbathane. I put those on at the same time I put the freshly balanced 1038's on and replaced the bearings in my motors so it's hard to pin it down to just those, but my video is jello free at this point, so that worked. On the 1038's they made the hub...

    DJI F550 for fixed GoPro/Nex work AV

    Did you ask them if you could trade up for a V2? I'll have YouTube set up soon, but I wanted to get some portfolio built up first. In the meantime, heres a couple of teasers. This one was before I got it balanced and clean - https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/32233941/Car%20Shot.mov Here is...

    DJI F550 for fixed GoPro/Nex work AV

    MulticopterFPV, Hey, I saw you were having issues with extreme height changes on your f550 with Naza. I had that exact same problem, and was able to solve it by balancing my props. Anything that contributes to vibration getting to the FC is a candidate, so balancing the props, balancing the...

    DJI F550 for fixed GoPro/Nex work AV

    Glad I could help! I found the sorbathane washers on Amazon.com, and replaced the nylon washer between the frame and the gear. They weren't an exact fit, but they certainly get the job done. If I needed more, my next step was the vibration isolation gear mount that Aeroxcraft makes, you can...

    Show us what you shot.

    Nothing special, a still I grabbed off my gopro from a session this weekend at Loose park in Kansas City: Another still from my gopro from a couple weeks back, had some help on the editing for this one: EDIT: Not sure why it scaled the first one so poorly, heres the direct download...

    DJI F550 for fixed GoPro/Nex work AV

    Hey all, I've been working steadily on this build for 3 months now. I finally, today, got it dialed in so I can get decent video off the thing without significant jello. So, I figured I would post some of the things that I learned and what my current build is. Hopefully, someone can get some...

    Thanks for clarifying, edited my original post.

    Redesigned S800 and GoPro Zenmuse

    Seems worth waiting to see final pricing. Drawback is that I can only mount a gopro hero 3 on it, photo higher can mount a lot of equipment.
