    $65K drone crashed: why you should never touch your copter while it is airborne :)

    Stack, I was just typing the same comment and saw yours pop up. I blame the manufacturers more than the pilot in this case. Anyone doing this long enough knows that electronics fail and helicopters will eventually come down in a blaze of glory if you fly them long enough. It is really easy to...

    $65K drone crashed: why you should never touch your copter while it is airborne :)

    Again, I always bring a beach towel when i fly for this exact reason. It's the best way to take down a heli when/if you cant kill the motors on the ground. Idea courtesy of RTRyder. And WTF happened? why did he grab it in the first place? Why would grabbing it do that? Why would it take so...

    What's the difference between atti mode and Manual?

    manual mode on the naza still auto-levels? I would have thought it was more conventional manual where there is no auto level or limit to angle. More or less like flying a SRH.

    I guarantee if you yank the white signal wire nothing will work.

    Problem with maintaining hover and bucking up and down

    Sun light can affect the barometric sensor in the FC. Either cover it with tape or foam depending on which FC you are using. Also, you should be lifting off lower than 70% throttle. What's your AUW? What props are you using? I dont fly DJI stuff and cant remember if softening the throttle...

    But like you said it's a ratio, not the size of the lens. Look at the iphone which has an amazing 2.8 lens. And the next gen Iphone 6 is supposed to have a 2.0. I still dont see why you want to shoot wide open though in aerials as you have a shallower DOF which is very hard to control...

    Interferance!

    I use the Sony 666. But any of them are fine. Just grab one from ready made rc. about $100. will save you if your gopro fails and are better in direct light and low light. It was just a way to see if its the gopro that is causing the lines. You tried moving the antennas around? You have...

    Interferance!

    Are both the monitor AND gopro on either PAL or NTSC? Certainly dont want to use both simultaneously. But I gather you got that. Do you have a separate FPV cam to try out? Should get one anyways. Channels are the same on both rx and tx?

    XAircraft SuperX on heavy lifter

    Just doesnt make much sense that a quad would work but an X8 would not. The motors are at the same cardinal points so what is different other than motors spinning in the opposite directions? i called Freefly and they said they are swamped with the Movi but are expecting to release the...

    DJI released its brand new 3-axis gimbal stabilization system, the Zenmuse Z15-BMPCC

    Clearly the button works as well as their firmware.

    Hey you slime balls I've hit the unsubscribe button for over a year now. What does it take to never get emails from you again??? Oh yeah I'm talking to myself, I forgot you only post ads and not respond to all your blindly loyal followers.

    You didn't read that part in the manual about pets and outdoor security lighting? :) thats pretty funny. You gotta take the dog out of auto mode as well.

    I only asked because i find it hard to believe you could surpass the data rate doing stills. It would have to be the 4k that pushes it over the limit. But it's supposed to be tested. Then again so was the gopro when the first released the black with those mini sd cards. How many different u3...

    When you say timelapse do you mean video or stills? I find it hard to believe any card would barf taking jpeg/RAW even simultaneously.
