    Your prop of choice and why?

    I'm gonna be in the market for 18" props. I have no bias whatsoever on brand or material type. CF tends to be more expensive than wood or plastic. In my mind, that does not make it better but if it is I'm willing to pay the price. Many of you guys have first hand experience on trying...

    What FC

    Folks, I have been doing a boat load of reading on flight controls. So many opinions, good and bad experiences on every brand. The research is making me dizzy. Some say A2 is awesome. Others say it's plagued with problems and that Wookong is the best Dji choice. I'm also looking at...

    Problem with ecalc.

    Trying to do some calculations but I notice the battery types is very limited. They have no big battery's like a 16000, 21000 or 30000 for example. Is there a workaround for this? Is there maybe a paid version that has more options? Also I'm always confused on the weight. When I enter...

    Gryphon x6 ordered for winter project.

    I've been researching a full sized build for a while and I am impressed by the qualtlity and fold-ability of the gryphon frames. I've ordered this: http://gryphondynamics.co.kr/product/dodeca-1000-folding-framedc1000f-2 as my platform to build on. Whether I do a coax setup with 12 motors or...

    What would be your "pro" rig using gopro under 2kg?

    I know gopro and "pro" don't necessarily go together when talking aerial photography but let's say you had to build a rig under 2kg to have the best possible flight times, smoothness etc. what would you build? I'm thinking maybe a tbs discovery with kloner arms. Naza, iosd, datalink, t...

    2kg. 4.4 lbs craft with lumix LX100 possible?

    The camera, battery and sd card is 393 grams. Do you think it's possible to make a craft with gimbal and 12-15 minute flight time at or under 2kg? Uav laws in Canada are changing and there is no permit required for commercial use if craft is under this weight limit. As it stands now it...

    What is the difference between airframes?

    I'm researching a build so please excuse me as I have been asking a lot of questions. So many of the pro rigs use very costly airgframes. Skyjib, cinestar, syndrone, gryphon etc. When it comes to frames what are you really getting for that premium price versus say a more affordable brand...

    Multi esc board vs individual esc's discussion.

    What are the pros and cons here? Also, what brand are you using? I guess if you blow a board you are out a grand vs blowing one esc @ $50. I would think there is a substantial weight and space savings with a board. No need for power distribution with a board. What else?

    A guy here was moving the phantom guts over to another frame.

    I cannot find the post. It was a carbon fibre frame. Rectangular body with zenmuse mounted forward and round tube arms. Front arms were at a wider angle than rear. Any ideas? I've been searching the forum. Can't find. Thx.

    40 year old intern. Lol.

    Ever since I got my P2 I have been hooked. I lost my job in March so if it's not raining it gets flown multiple times daily. I'm always practicing new techniques, honing my skills of aerial photography. So I had this thought about starting a company. Build a larger ship and set up a...

    What is the next step up gonna do for me?

    Let's say I go to a mid size platform like the s900 to carry a mid sized camera vs my current P2 with hero 3 black, what are the realistic advantages? Are the mid sized cameras that much better? Will I get more flight time? I wouldnt mind building or buying a mid sized but I wouod want to...

    Long duration fpv setup

    So I'm getting addicted. I'd love to build my own just for fun but I wouldn't want something that performs the same as my P2. I would want a significant increase in flight time. I'm getting around 15 minutes with h3-3d, gopro and transmitter. If I spent the time and money buildng...
