Understood. Thanks for helping me sort it out in my head!

So what would you call the mode that only levels a quad?

So when people refer to manual mode, the copter does not level itself when there is no input?

I have now finished the second evolution in my personal AP training. Evolution 1 was to buy some "fun quads" and learn to fly, maintain orientation, nose in hovering, etc. One of the most important lessons I took away from this was that multi-rotors sometimes just crash...don't freak out, just...

I thought I knew what these terms mean, but now I'm not so sure. Please correct me if I'm wrong: Manual Mode: Multirotor does not level out when aileron/rudder stick is released. Atti Mode: multirotor remains level unless input is given, but altitude is not maintained by FC. GPS Mode: Not...

During autotune, are you able to nudge the multirotor back to the center of your flying area from time to time or does it cancel the autotune routine if you touch the controls?

and a higher frame rate as well I imagine. That would theoretically give me more to play with speed wise.

What about using the GH4 internally and down converting to 720? Do you gain much usable area there?

Awesome article. Thank you! None of my content will need to be 4K BUT I just realized the potential of being able to pan, tilt and zoom in post while still retaining an HD clip.

NICE!!!!

Excellent. Thoughts on the pixhawk clone? ANything you would have done different in the other components? Also, more video of the Position Hold when you get it tuned please!!!

No doubt at some point I'll probably have an Inspire in my fleet, or the next big thing they come out with.

That is amazing footage! Dude, quit tempting me!! Seriously, I want to learn to build. If I buy one of those, I'll end up throwing everything else in the closet and I'll be too busy filming to learn anything.

I almost bought one, in fact it was an Inspire ad that got me into multis to begin with. I saw what it was capable of doing and decided like all major decisions, I would sleep on it 48 hours. The next day, I saw the vid of one slamming into the guys garage door during takeoff, 3 feet from his...

Awesome reply and advice. I'm slowly working my way up to a large quad. Right now, my Blade 200qx gets most of my attention. My first build is going on right now with a cheap 500 quad but I'm learning a ton. My first serious build will be the F550 Hex and then the sky is the limit from there.

I'll do some more reading on it too then.

I plan to use it to shoot footage to enhance my films, getting quick tracking shots that I would normally have to use a camera crane or a track system. I'll be producing 2-3 minute short films for a small niche market and I intend to use a hex or octo to "cheat" on some of the more difficult...

Tagged. I love the idea of a cheap experimental to compliment a larger more expensive bird.

Thanks for the reply. I just happen to be looking at the pixhawk when you replied. It looks like it has room to grow with me. Do you think it would be the most stable for AP?
