    GH2 Filming - To use Manual or Not to use Manual

    Hi Benjamin, Thank you very much for the reply, is it safe in assuming that you guys plan a shot and then setup the camera for that shot only and so forth? I can see that working, but I'm trying to figure out what will work best if you don't have time to land and you have to do a shot that...

    GH2 Filming - To use Manual or Not to use Manual

    That is the question.. What settings do you guys use. I recently did some flying where I just filmed a MTB race just for fun, I set the camera up in "M" mode, adjusted my shutter speed, aperture, iso and white balance to the best of my ability not to over saturate the image. Then while...

    eCalc accuracy?

    Hi Gavin, I look forward to seeing the results you come up with. Where did you purchase the Tiger 3515 400kv motors? They seem pretty good, but I'd like to do a little bit more research. Regards, Andre

    eCalc accuracy?

    Hi Gavin, That is truly interesting. Can you tell me what size props you did the test with and also how exactly you conducted it. Did you run full throtle during these tests? As mentioned previously I got 1kg of thrust on a APC12x3.8" SF prop, must admit I did not test the current bu the motor...

    Hoverfly Hoverfly Gimbal and Photoship 3X Pro

    Hi all, thought I would quickly join this post and ask a question that has been on my mind for a little while. Would I be able to use the new Beta released firmware to run my Cinestar 360 Gimbal with the potentiometers being bypassed? I tried this a while ago not knowing that the board does not...

    eCalc accuracy?

    Hi Gavin, Currently I only fly 1 x 4cell packs, 5000 mah. I stop flying at 4 min's that equates to about 80% of my battery capacity. Must tell you though I flew today and the motors got hot again but I suspect my gains are too high as I adjusted them for windy conditions on my last flight. So...

    eCalc accuracy?

    Hi Gavin, I also run a hex with AXI 2814/22 motors, TOW on my setup is about 5.5kg. I can tell you one thing you are over propping your motors, I use to run APC slow fly 14 x 4.7" and the motors got so hot that I could not even touch them. This is using a 4 cell battery. I then started doing...

    Hoverfly HF Gimbal Video

    OK that explains the lagging, so back to pots it is for now. I'm really looking forward to the solution though I think it will make gimbals much better than they are now, and they are pretty good already. Thanks for the good work guys, really glad I went with Hoverfly! Andre

    Make sure your gains are not set too high. Also where did you mount the HF Gimbal board?

    Hoverfly HF Gimbal Video

    Hi Guys, OK we have been having some bad weather so I thought I would try and modify my CS 360 gimbal with all continuous rotation servos by bypassing the pots. Problem is I can not get it to work properly for some reason, I get a lot of jitters when my Gains are too high on the roll and tilt...
