Hope you guys enjoy this one: We were doing a test of a wireless HD system from Nebtek and decided to film something fun for the test. The motorcycle rider is Heather Williams and she can be found here: www.Heather-Williams.com More on the Nebtek system...

So I got the itch to try a coaxial today, but my motors are too fat to do the traditional stack with the motor-mount plates I have at the moment, so I tried offsetting them instead. Here is a picture of before: Here is a picture of what I mean by offsetting the motors (inspired by another...

So everyone on here knows I'm a HoverFly fan, and that hasn't changed. I had the opportunity to try a DJI Naza with GPS yesterday on another person's multirotor - he was nice enough to let me give it a fly. Here were my first impressions... Manual mode: Hoverfly has the edge here. Atti...

Auto compensation is not working on my tilt axis. When I turn on auto compensation for the tilt axis, that axis becomes unresponsive. When I turn off auto compensation, the tilt axis becomes responsive to stick input as expected but obviously doesn't auto compensate. Basically auto...

We gave our new GH3 a test flight, then shot some comparisons with our trusty old GH2. A complete review can be found on our site: http://www.yonderbluefilms.com/blog/2013/2/2/gh3-vs-gh2-video.html Please comment here with any observations or questions and I'll do my best to respond. Hope...

Hope you guys enjoy watching this one. I think it's one of our better highlight reels so far. Dewees Real Estate asked us to shoot some footage of their unique island that they could use in their promotional videos. This video contains a few of the highlights from our day on Dewees...

Here's one that we shot when we first got going with Yonder Blue Films... We shot it with our Cinestar 8 with Hoverfly Pro and a homemade dolly. All filmed with a hacked GH2.

We're proud to be a part of this fun wakeboarding film shown below. We shot a lot of the aerials for it. There are some aerials from a full size heli as well, not ours, but also very cool. This was produced by Remedy Films - great company to work with! Hope you guys enjoy it. At 17:20...

I typed up a quick review on the Xoar carbon fiber props. It's not super technical, but it gives my honest opinion of them. The short version: They're awesome. http://www.yonderbluefilms.com/blog/2013/1/17/xoar-carbon-fiber-props.html

I've run into a strange problem with our XM6. A few days ago it was flying great. Then I finally put the AV200 gimbal on it. Now it is oscillating and vibrating badly. I pulled the gimbal off and it flew fine. I put the gimbal back on - problems. I tried adding some weight to the gimbal to...

I modified our XM6 to use a battery tray from a Cinestar 8. I needed the option to use our Maxamps 11000 batteries and they're too big to use two at a time. Soooo out came the drill as seen in the pic. Absolutely loving this XM6 - a fun copter to fly.

I've got an AV200 that I'd like to upgrade to 3-axis. Anyone have some feedback on the 360 pan kit? Thanks!

I just spoke with Josh over at Allied Drones and placed my first order with him. I can tell already that it will be the first of many. He makes some smart mods for multi-rotors. I ordered his adapter plates for the AV200 to add some space to mount the necessary gear. Josh was very helpful...

I've been trying to get this Skyline system to work, but have had no success. I've got it mounted on an AV200. I flashed it with the latest software. I've set up a HF Gimbal and a Radian system in the past without major problems (both work well), but this Skyline system has got me scratching...

We posted a quick video of the Droidworx retractable landing gear on our website along with some first impressions. Here's the link: http://www.yonderbluefilms.com/blog/2013/1/7/droidworx-retractable-landing-gear.html

I've flown multi-rotors a lot in the past year, but I've never flown an RC plane. Today, I made my first attempt - with a ducted fan plane. If you've ever seen the show Top Gear, there's a line they use a lot. "How hard could it be?" they say with childlike innocence and a hint of British...

Well Christmas came early. I got the new XM6 flying on Christmas Eve. It flies great and I'm having a blast. Nothing like that rush of the maiden flight. Sorry about the plain old cell phone photo, but I was flying solo on this one.

What's your favorite micro / mini frame? thanks, Ben

Here's our latest highlight film. Most of the footage was filmed at a kayak race in North Carolina on the Green River.

So I picked up a Blade Nano CP X (RTF) with the DX4e. I've been wanting to try a collective pitch heli for a long time. I got it to hover, but wow, this thing feels like it has a mind of its own and I'm just fighting it. I'm sure it's just a matter of logging the hours of practice, like...
