Iris, sorry, I wasn't very clear. I realize HDMI is digital. I was just pointing out that cable would not work. I went ahead and picked up the converter. The size is not bad. Removing the case is mandatory. I'm also removing the s-video connector and RCA jacks entirely. Will hard wire into it...

That cable is HDMI to component. We need HDMI to composite.

Really enjoyed that video, Ken. You're not kidding about the obstacles there! That's a heck of a combo of trees and wires. Man that's funny- I was thinking the same exact thing! Yeah, the whole thing is really well done. These CS birds are professional platforms. nick

Yeah, understood. I've got to say I'm getting extremely smooth flights with the 14" APC's on mine with the MK FC. Part of me says just be happy with it and part of me wonders if lighter CF props would benefit the MK too. So many variables to dial in...

Boris, nice assortment of props. Did you have an opportunity to fit and test them all? Any conclusions?

Ken, your CS6 looks great. I'm very curious to hear your thoughts on how it flies with the WKM on there. Gary, you could certainly say that Tabb has something to do with the Cinestar gear. :) I don't have a CS6 but I do have an 8 and it's a big sucker. If you measure from tip to tip of the 14...

Yes, and it's mounted out there to minimize any magnetic interference to the MK compass/navi board.

Tabb, what is the rough weight of the C300 with a good prime on it?

6S? Interesting.

Boris, that is good to hear. I'll be very curious to hear your temps at load. Just for reference, this past week I was doing tests with my CS8 at an AUW of 6.4kg. Max ESC temps (MK Bl-Ctrl's) was 74°C. Average was in the mid 60's. I was impressed. Your Herkules with the heat sink should be even...

Actually, I was not talking about DJI in particular. I'm talking about anybody. :D And true the costs are a factor but I don't see this as a replacement for full-size ops- i see it as a totally different, far more intimate category of AC. One that would be perfectly suited for precision waypoint...

The first company to make waypoints useful for aerial cine will make a killing. Having truly smooth, repeatable flight paths that could be flown on demand with the ability to quickly and dynamically change single variables like the speed or altitude is a directors dream for auto running shots. I...

Well thanks for the heads up about cold temps and the APC props- I'll always keep that in mind. The aluminum tape method is something I've done for years on conventional rotor blades. Relatively speaking, for a given size the mass is large so you can use less and when it's burnished down it is...

It's very interesting to read this kind of stuff. I've got to say I am shocked at how quiet my cinestar8 is with the 14" APC props. As I load it down in testing the machine is getting louder but it's still much quieter than I expected it would ever be. I must be mistaken but I thought the...

Flap, I've been flying RC since the early 80's and conventional helis for about half that time. I just got into multi rotors and I'm astounded at how low the parts count is for these machines. It's a flat okto and it's a pretty big bird but it still has less parts overall than any CP heli except...

DkTek, did you install that AEROdrive board yet? Any impressions at this point? Boris, would you please clarify the benefit of the freewheeling option? nick

This is good to see and know!

Crash, great suggestion. I will do that. Iris, I need two completely discreet video feeds. One for the fixed FPV camera and one for the camera on the gimbal. It's interesting to hear your comment on the Fatshark. I've already got production monitors for displays so I was leaning that way...

Pete, thanks for that info. I'm going to experiment with two 5.8Ghz systems on different channels. It's great to hear you had such good success with two channels on 1.3.

Just to clarify, the CS6 & CS8 are actually manufactured by FreeFly Systems. Quadrocopter is a dealer and sells them in the US and their are others for Europe and elsewhere. Boris, sorry to hear about the trouble with your hexa. Looking forward to hearing about your first flights with the CS...
