What flight controller can you use if you jump DJI ship? Or do you stay with WKM?

If the feed has to be HD SDI then things will be a bit difficult as I don't think the bandwidth of a normal set up is big enough. Live means fancy electronics to reduce the time lag and would probably need a timebase corrector to be able to supply a stable feed.

Will this UBEC handle the amperage of the motors?

THe right hand button needs to be pressed and held. You then get a confirm request and then press again and should start. Make sure you have chosen the correct lipo and voltage.

Thanks to you all your work in pulling this together. I hope to have the confidence to attempt the updates after reading these postings. I am really keen to get the gimbal into the air but know I must take it gently and methodically. My dream was plug and play but I did not even have the (power)...

Mine has arrived and yes I have been thrown by the 7.4v requirement. I am not sure of the amperages involved so am not risking using a regulator I have of anonymous manufacture. I have a 1000mw 7.4 Overlander for temporary use. I have told Rob that messing about with the Martinez board fills me...

How about the folding EyeFly Quads? http://www.eyefly.info/index.php?route=product/product&path=60_71&product_id=94

For broadcast camera batteries we always use PAG Ltd products as they supply all the paperwork for flight check ins. http://www.paguk.com/sites/default/files/pdf/AirTransLiIon.pdf I am now wondering if Lipo makers do the same thing and have test reports etc?

I have ordered a GH3 size gimbal from HDAirStudio it due to be delivered soon based on a pre order. Will most likely use gimbal with a BlackMagic Pocket camera.

I'm thinking of the Sigma 19mm which is not too expensive or the Lumix 7-14 that I already have from my AF100 camera.

The Eyefly Goliath folds up. http://www.eyefly.info/index.php?route=product/product&path=60_71&product_id=94

Here's one I am thinking about - the Eyefly Goliath. A brushless gimbal is in the process of being being developed. http://www.eyefly.info/index.php?route=common/home

I was advised by my supplier to use a Nylok nut.

This an interesting thread as I am in the same position of enhancing our broadcast camera services. Perhaps the just announced Black Magic Pocket camera will become the new 5D, in which case a bit of weight will be saved and we will have broadcast 220mbts Pro Res HQ pictures shot on a camera...

I think as a director/cameraman coming into this area of work one thing has to be remembered. There is nothing hit and miss about shooting professional video. You are asked for something and you shoot it, exposed,framed, focussed as requested no problems. Aerial shooting must be the same, so...

It seems every man and his dog has become a BL gimbal manufacturer. I think one of the big 3 or 4 having a direct agreement with alexMos seems to be the horses to back unless you just get the Zenmuse which is acknowleged as the absolute best (certainly for noobs without gimbal experience) by...

I a sure UAVshop can help you in some way. The general advice is that you should build a machine to get an understanding of how everything works. Simple problem solving skills will be needed later in the whole quadcopter experience. I bought a Phantom and then have moved onto the F550 before...

I bought an upgraded F550 from UAVshop. It has IPower motors and tall landing gear. Going to use it with WKM so that I can be prepared for a bigger machine when the time comes. Will get a BL gimbal but will wait for gimbal wars to die down a little. Will probably get the Viacopter version as...

I presume the gimbal is not included! If it is then I will be straight around to pick up the whole caboodle.

Leeds castle video looks a little floaty to me. I am waiting/wanting to move up to a full rig. DJI S800 does not seem to be good enough as there are vibration issues etc. I think the Vulcan Mantis is going to be one to look out for. Gimbals will be all changing very soon so will hang on awhile...
