I was at fun fly in Snohomish this weekend and took some footage of a 3D helicopter flight from the air. Unfortunately I got the idea to try this on the last day of the show as it was getting dark. I am looking forward to trying it again soon in sunlight and less wind. The next pilot I have in...
Yes, this is a fun bit of history for sure. I thought it interesting that the Fort Comander chose not to fire back keeping everything blacked out and quiet. I would have expected them to let er rip with some of the old guns.
I learned yesterday that the building that is front and center in the...
Went on a short road trip to Astoria, Oregon yesterday. As usual at the beach it was very windy and mostly overcast.

Testing out how my tilt only gimbal works for shooting video. This is the first time that I have trimmed videos and put the clips together so sorry my transitions aren't very smooth. I haven't done any further editing other then to compress it to a suitable size for vimeo upload...
I have a Nex 5N and Olympus E-PM1 which I use primarily for still photographs. The Oly is similar to the Panasonic cameras in question although the video is somewhat crippled in comparison.
I would like to comment about a big difference I noticed. I tried three different Sony 16mm pancake...
Nice! Your video is quite unique as i don't think I have seen a gimbal work so well. And your flight routine really demonstrated it well. Particularly like the forward acceleration portions.
Dji should have done something similar, I bet even more pre-orders would have been placed. I was...
There a few subtle differences in the multirotors in the 2nd and 3rd videos but aside from the ESC's all of the other electronics are the same. That is Avroto 2814 motors, NAZA controller with DJI BEC, Spektrum AR6210 receiver. All mounted to Rusty's UAP1 frame. The differences are:

Gemfan 9" need to be bored to 8mm with a prop reamer. And the gemfan 8" are even smaller, perhaps too small to be modified.
I don't think anyone but DJI has an 8" prop with a 8mm hole. AFAIK Graupner 10" are the only alternative without doing some modification.
