Just got these Xoar carbon fiber pairs, anybody tried them already? Looking for some feedback on these... When I get them bolted on the XM in a few weeks, I'll give my opinion. thanks, Ben

Anyone built the XM6 as a Y6? I'm in the middle of building the XM6 and it crossed my mind to build it as a coaxial. Thoughts? thanks, Ben

I have a quick question about the o-rings that go on the booms of the XM6. There are two thicker o-rings that go on under the nacelles. But I don't understand where exactly the thinner single o-rings are supposed to go. They go on as the engine mounts go on, but not really sure where they are...

Anyone know where I can order the wooden precision pair Xoar props 14x5 in the USA? I need fast shipping on this one, otherwise I'd have no problem ordering from overseas. Thanks for the help!

I see on the website that there is a Power Distribution Board 8. Seen here: http://droidworx.co.nz/products/shop/ad-new-accessories/power-distribution-board-8/ Will there be a 6? I think I'd like to try a power distribution board on my VM-6R. thanks, Ben

Sorry, had to pull down the video temporarily. We'll share it again in a few weeks. thanks, Ben

A few highlights from Thursday's shoot inside of the Tellus Science Museum:

Machine meets beast...

If you're looking for some good batteries, take a look at MaxAmps. We've been using a few of their 11,000mah 4s batteries and they have worked out well for us. We're looking at using a pair of them for nice long flight times with heavier cameras. We used them all day on a recent wakeboarding...

One of our highlight reels is up for an award. Vote here: http://www.yakangler.com/choice .... We're in category 11 and we're choice number 3. "Jackson Kayak: Flying Fish" Not bad for something that was only a highlight reel!

Here's a highlight film from a recent shoot at Belmont University in Nashville: We shot it with our Cinestar 8 equipped with the Hoverfly Pro and FreeFly Radian. A big thanks to the folks at FreeFly and Hoverfly. Both companies have been very supportive in our efforts to make engaging...

We recently completed our first day of shooting at Barnsley Gardens Resort. In this video we're sharing a couple of shots from their golf course that were filmed with our multi-rotor. This was shot with our Cinestar 8 with Hoverfly Pro flight controller and FreeFly's Radian stabilization system...

When it comes to my cars, I've always changed the oil regularly and used high quality oil. When it comes to my multirotor, I've heard conflicting answers about wether or not they need some maintenance. I'm looking at purchasing some of this bearing lubricant...

I just did my first test flight with version 4.3.802 and the result is.... Wow. I've got a big shoot this week and was iffy about leaving v4 that I've been using for a while now, but I'm glad I took that leap of faith and gave the latest firmware a shot. It flies so smooth. And in the past...

Anyone ever used Scorpion motors on a Cinestar?

Recently, people have been contacting us about how to sharpen their aerial video chops. Now, we're not the Bruce Lee of aerial video, but we'd like to think that we're well on our way to a black belt. So we've decided to share a few tips about what we've learned along the way. We proudly...

For our most recent shoot, we did 50 flights from the bow of a boat (watch it to the end and you'll see how)... Cinestar 8 with Hoverfly Pro and Hoverfly Gimbal board. Pilot: Benjamin Rowland Camera: Will Wheeler Shot on a hacked Panasonic GH2

One train, with one chance to shoot it. We were tasked with getting a shot of the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway. The catch? We only had one shot at it. We came back with several angles of the train - all in one take. Shown here are a few of those angles. More info on the train: brscenic.com...

Anyone on the forum got experience flying a Red Epic with a Cinestar 8 and 3 axis gimbal? Two of my clients are asking about it. I want to know if there are any issues to watch out for, what modifications I should make, and what would be the ideal way to power things. Our CS8 flies great...

We're taking a roadtrip to Hoverfly next week. We're excited for a day of R&D, meeting the team, and trying out their latest flying magic. Like our Facebook page to stay in the loop about what we discover while we're down there.
