    GoPro 3

    Not looking to use either as an FPV camera. If FPV is all that you want, its significantly cheaper just to stick with the CC cameras.

    xoar props

    Kloner..... I've two NIB sets of Xoar 10x5's bored to fit DJI motors that I am probably going to be selling. Got them from Patrick at AerialMedia and have never even opened the packs. ....sT

    GoPro 3

    Hmmmm....my first reaction is that I want one. Then...I realised that for within shouting distance of the same money I can get an NEX-5N. Now I wonder....do I really want one after all? ....sT

    Turnigy nano-tech LIPO's Anyone used them?

    I've six 4S 6000's and have had no troubles at all with them. No puffing nor any other untoward behaviour. Of course, although they are placarded for 5C charging rates....I don't charge them anywhere near as hard as that. Typically, I charge at about 9 amps. Don't even get warm...

    nex-5n on sale

    Over the past 25 or 30 years I have purchased an awful lot of camera gear from B&H. Never a problem. On the phone they can be a little abrupt, its best to know what you want and be ready to go when they answer.....assuming you phone them at all these days. B&H has done so well for me that I...

    Gimbal Jitters.

    Animau... Sorry for the delay in answering. Im afraid I missed your question the first time through. Yes, I have had no complaints using the 3156 servos. I use them on both pitch and roll and have never experienced any of the jitter that others report. I did read someplace where someone...

    WTB: WKM/Naza GPS Antenna Brackets

    I've got the carbon rod. I just need a good clean set of metal brackets. I MIGHT be able to clean up and repair the upper (antenna side), but I really have to find a useable lower (plate side) bracket. Obviously, a full pair would be best. ....sT

    WTB: WKM/Naza GPS Antenna Brackets

    I was recently filming a friends Trex 600 when he had a main blade delaminate and fail in flight. He spun directly into my F550 and the lot fell from the sky mangling quite a number of parts. Among the parts needing replaced are the metal (aluminum?) mounting brackets for the GPS antenna...

    Gimbal Jitters.

    Im using Rob Greens' (AeroXcraft Ltd) F550 landing gear and GoPro gimbal with a Castle programmable BEC and Futaba S3156 servos. Ive tried the BEC at the out-of-the-box 5.1v as well as programming it to 6v. Quite honestly, I can't see any real difference in performance. Admittedly, by the...

    Aeroxcraft New! - Landing Gear for DJI F550 for use with Aeroxcraft GoPro Gimbal.

    I've been wondering this as well. I'm using a 4S pack and have been looking at going straight into the WKM. I purchased a Castle BEC to add to this....but I'm beginning to wonder if it is really necessary. What will I gain doing it that way? ....sT

    Graupners only?

    Where have you found Graup 9's? I have 10's which I had to order from Spain (of all places) in order to get. But I have yet to find anyone with 9's on hand. ....sT

    Naza USB Cable

    Assuming that it is the same cable as is supplied with the WKM.....and it would make sense from an economy of manufacture point-of-view that it is....then it is a Standard USB-to-Micro USB cable. You can find them all over. Even my local supermarket has them. .....sT
