Great! I am very happy you have this sorted.... Lost the bet, but at least helped with the investigation.... Bad motors are pretty rare.... but it happens.. SleepyC and I had to have a few beers sorting out his bad motor.... and more beers... and more beers..

Looks very nice. Have fun. Nicely put together. Your business is appreciated. Andrew

It looks like #6 in both the start and while flying. My first bet is lazy ESC. You will need to perform some tests. You can do it props off. Swap #5 and #6 servo plugs on the FC start motors over and over.... Did the lazy motor stay #6 or is #5 now lazy... If #5 then you know it is not the FC...

I feel compelled to chime in here. This thread is all about opinions. So be careful about basing your choice on opinions... We have flown nearly every FC. I have flown with SleepyC and he has also flown nearly every FC. Actually more than me now.... see what a couple of years will do to you...

At some point, this will be challenged in court. If the flyer is a hobbyist on a AMA field or complying with all FAA rules governing RC aircraft, then hungry lawyers will be filing 1983 Federal Civil Rights Suits against these Police Departments and Cities...... I will be interesting to see the...

I have been contacted by a few of our clients who have received similar letters. From what we can ascertain, most of these letters are initiated by someone contacting the FAA with a complaint about a specific operator. They usually refer to "evidence" of improper use referencing YouTube videos...

I think it is more like do you have the money to pay accountants, and lawyers to defend your position..... They can charge you with any number of things or cause you other issues as mentioned above..... The FAA has been directed to work with Local Law Enforcement as well.... They could simply...

Simply put.... ALL FEDERAL AGENCIES WORK TOGETHER...... You may think you won...... Then IRS Audit 7 years in a row......Do you really want to tug on Superman's cape? They will find a way to STOP you.

The hexacrafter G2-V2 was designed specifically for the Phobotic controller. It uses a 8108 motor on yaw. This is true for both the Nex & GH4 versions. The gimbal is very commerical grade in design to handle the abuses of the users we service. It weighs 1390 grams without battery or camera. We...

Forum, Sorry to say I have not been following the forums lately.....out with Medical issues....I just hopped on and saw this thread..so... I also need to help clarify where things are at so misinformation does not spread. Our Experiences with the CP and our NEX gimbal are very promising. A few...

Just a simple comment/ observation...... I watch as many call for the FAA or other BIG BROTHER agencies to regulate the knucklehead multicopter pilot that is doing something really stupid or dangerous.......This is just never going to happen... they do not have law enforcement training, budgets...

Well, I will agree to disagree. You make a lot of assumptions that may lead a beginner to disaster. If the ESC had been previously calibrated on a different RX, tx or worse yet a Futaba system and you now are going to us a Spektrum system, then big problems and frustration can occur. Also, when...

You want to do the throttle calibration on the RX that you plan to use. Just unplug all other servo leads including the power from a FC PMU and allow the ESC BEC to power the RX during the Calibration through the throttle channel being calibrated.

Yep... It was VERY confusing and frustrating for us and our clients that were having issues.... we had not experienced it either, but always calibrated the ESC directly to the RX before soldering up the Power distribution..... Then 3 different clients with the same issue... it took a while to...

It is a simple solution to make sure a client does not have any issues. During the ESC calibration, some ESC are very sensitive to whether they get ESC main power without an RX signal. This is a problem when powering the RX from a different battery than the ESC and powering the ESC without a...

Our experience with T-Motor ESC is that they will not do a throttle calibration without the RED power wire. We had several clients try without and no calibration...... we now tell all to keep the RED wire intact until the calibration is complete. I assume this is then true for most BEC ESC.

DJI Flight controllers do not allow power from a ESC BEC. So the use of OPTO or Non-BEC ESC is one solution. The other is to remove the RED (5v power) wire from the ESC servo plug. Please be advised that you will need to perform the ESC throttle calibration via the RX BEFORE removing the RED...

Most of our clients have full contact information on their rigs. We have had several loose rigs and have them returned. One client had nothing more than the HexaCrafter stickers on the aircraft that were supplied with the kit. The person who found the rig called us to see if it was ours or if we...

We are flying a 700 gram "studio" lens.... much heavier than you jfro... Have you tried a large piece of glass? Our clients use "large" glass. With a small 16-18mm lens it might be just fine.... more like a NEX with large glass.

I am very sure that we will get SleepyC's yaw going great tomorrow. I have worked with both our G2-V2-NEX and G2-V2-GH4 gimbals and the Centerpiece until my brain has fallen out..... I need to clarify where things are at......at least for us.... The issue is with the Autotune in the specific...
