    Newbie question about camera gimbals

    So, if I'm understanding this correctly, the controller will keep it steady, but if I want to aim the camera down more I could just turn a knob? That's cool! Thanks man. Kelly

    Need some tx advice

    Well, I'll throw my 2 cents in even if I am a newbie. I've been looking a getting Hoverthings latest quad with the Naza controller. It comes with a Spektrum receiver & I have been looking at these 2 tx's a lot as well. Without a doubt in my mind I would get the JRx9503 over the DX8 if I could...

    Newbie question about camera gimbals

    Thanks Gunter. The Naza controller says it will control a gimbal, so I assume it has those outputs. Does it take any channels up using a gimbal? Kelly

    Newbie question about camera gimbals

    I'm just getting into this hobby & I'm trying to learn as much as I can on forums etc before I blow my wad on my first quad. However, I know my first setup won't be my last (I hear it's an addiction :highly_amused:) & that I'll learn more about what I want & like when I actually start flying...

    Advice for getting started with multi-rotor helicopters

    Thakur, The Xaircraft x650 can carry a GoPro. There are many camara gimbals to choose from too. If you google "Xaircraft x650" you'll get several places to buy it. A lot of guys start with a Gaui 330x-s too. Along that style of quad, Hoverthings sells one called the witespy that gives you...

    Helicopter versus Multirotor for Aerial Photography

    Thakur, Good question. I'm new to this hobby too & really look forward to the AP side of it. My thoughts would be that a multicopter would be better than a heli. You can split the load between several motors & there are several controllers, like the DJI Naza for example, that allow you to...

    In layman's terms what's the difference in TX's

    Thanks guys! r.spitz - Since the witespy comes with a Spektrum receiver installed I figured on staying with Spektrum. Although, I hear good things about Futaba. Bartman - That JR9503 looks way cool! Dang...$550...I might be buying a third tx after all. :upset: I kept looking around at...

    In layman's terms what's the difference in TX's

    Rob, Thanks! Do you have any experience with these tx's? I read the specs, but it's all greek to me. I know typically "you get what you pay for" & "the higher the price the better the product", but I'm not sure for quads if there's a big difference between the DX7s at $280 & the DX8 at $350...

    In layman's terms what's the difference in TX's

    Rob, When I talked to Tom at Hoverthings he said that I would need a better tx in order to take advantage of all the naza features like auto level & altitude hold... If I have to get another one I'd like to plan ahead for the future so I don't have to buy a third. Eventually, I would like to...

    In layman's terms what's the difference in TX's

    I'm just getting into this hobby & I got the Phoenix sim w/DX5e for Christmas. I'm trying to learn as much as I can before going out, blowing the bank, & buying something I'll quickly outgrow. I'm looking at getting a witespy quad from Hoverthings & it comes with a Spektrum receiver installed...
