    Alta Price goes UP - A LOT.... $11,995.00 WHAT?!?!?!

    Hey Guys, It is indeed a monumental undertaking to develop Hardware, Firmware, and Software in house from scratch, but that is what we have done. There are some key differentiators that substantiate this if you pay attention to the details. Many of the different systems are converging on...

    $30K Mistake

    Lets be a bit more realistic and pragmatic about the risks. I ask you to think of your loved one or friend who has been killed by an octo carrying an EPIC....oh wait....nobody has.

    $30K Mistake

    From what they reported it was just the pilot pushing it to get the shot in a windy situation...

    $30K Mistake

    If it flies it crashes....this is the price you have to pay from time to time for getting after it like the Brainfarm guys do. They have broken lots of gear, bones, and hearts. In the end these instances fade into the past and you are left with what you have created which lives on. I have...

    MOVI on over.

    SMP, for the record I was only trying to let Chris know that the video he linked to was an April fools joke. I wanted to make sure he did not think we were trying to be deceitful with the video, just funny. The list above of MōVI specifications that I felt was pertinent was posted on the...

    Yep, M5 will have an optional MR kit for it just like the M10 does. Best, Tabb

    FreeFly's direct drive gimbal...

    Hi Guys, I was strapped to the front skid of the helicopter hand holding the MoVI for all the aerial shots in the MoVI short film. The gimbal worked great even in TOUGH conditions (snow, wind etc) Kari - yes the gimbal is beefed up to handle bigger cameras. Tabb

    FreeFly's direct drive gimbal...

    Hey guys, Thanks for checking out our new gimbal! I think it will be a game changer. The ability to shoot with any camera, any lens and shoot at long focal lengths will open up all kinds of creative possibilities. I am not sure if you noticed in the video but we have zoom control on the...

    CBS Sunday Morning interview

    Kilby, Be careful, they will try and twist everything you say into some sensational agenda laden spin. I have done lots of interviews and never once been happy with the outcome. I got contacted by these folks as well and passed on any kind of interview. Tabb

    Wobbling cs8

    Hey Kloner, the CS8 with APC 14x4.7's should fly smooth as silk. I think this is FC or ESC related. With the DJI I could never get to even resemble smooth flight with 14x4.7's and I have never flown a HFP so I cannot comment. The prop clearance is OK on the 450mm booms. I would dig into the...
