There's a guy in Seabrook NH who flies an F550. He's on this forum somewhere. He's on Google+ here: https://plus.google.com/109332795149694733228/posts I'm on Google+ Here: https://plus.google.com/104688579048759425474/posts Google+ is a great place for sharing multi-rotor media because...

But I don't recommend flying your MR anywhere near 1/2 mile away unless it's via a solid FPV set-up.

Mike, I bought all my multi rotor stuff including FPV from RChover, in person, in Foxboro MA. Tell Jeremy that Jim Harrington sent you. Also be aware that straight out of an unstabilized GoPro, still photos need LOTS of Photoshop work to correct color,contrast, level the horizon and most...

Welcome Mike. I've been flying a DJI F550 since last fall. I'm looking forward to the photo ops on my NH vacations this summer, White Mountains mostly. I'm the meantime I've been doing lots of still photography in my area of Massachusetts (A couple show Hampton Beach NH) Aerial photography 1...

I built my DJI F550. Toughest part was soldering for me. Programming the NAZA via the NAZA assistant software was fairly easy. There are many video's on the net about building and setting NAZA via USB. A 450 may give longer flight times VS a 550 will have more lifting power. I'm more into...

I think the key is in the sound. Prop roar stopped at the start of the decent, but motor whine continued...slower?

Thanks Jesse? I found this product: http://www.rcshutter.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=20_66&product_id=55 and based on the video, it seems to trip the shutter without actually hooking a wire to the camera?

Thanks for all the input so far. Toxo, let find the max recommended weight for a stock F550. I read somewhere that the mass of a heavy set-up impacts the NAZA's ability to control it well. The WooKong (spelling) is engineered for more mass. If it is determined that a F550 could safely fly a...

Did you sell this yet? Are you in the state of Maine?

For now, I fly only the DJI F-550. I have stock motors, 9" Graupners, minimal weight landing gear(3 fiberglass legs). Eventually I'd like to upgrade to a heavy duty machine like a Cinestar... ...but for now I was wondering if anyone has had success lifting any type of camera heavier than a...

I've got my F550 repaired and it flew great on tonight's brief test flight. Toilet bowling at hover is gone. ( I changed some setting w Naza Assistant) Now posted a question about IOC use here: http://www.multirotorforums.com/showthread.php?10266-Intelligent-Orientation-Control-IOC-Naza

Hi! I've had my F550 flying since late Sept 2012. Tonight however, I enabled IOC with the NAZA assistant software for the first time. ( I hit "write" after making changes.) (BTW, is anyone aware of and visible confirmation on Naza Assistant indicating "write" is successful?) I have not...

It's mostly fixed wing. There are some heli guys. When I showed up with my multi-rotor, one of the members claimed I was the first to visit there with a multi.

I'm not crazy about joining the local club. There's not much to photograph at their field, in the middle of a marsh. :-/

Should I join AMA and what are the benefits? I looked on their site but did not see anything about insurance. I had heard they provide insurance for "modelers". (update) just found that info here: http://www.modelaircraft.org/files/memanual.pdf A local flying club has a great place to fly...

The DJI props supplied with the F550 kit I bought in Sept 2012 had a more rounded blade tips and a more curving taper than the one shown in the video. I'll post a photo of them if I think of it later. Upon hearing the "don't use DJI props" advise everywhere, I never did. My kit came with...

Thanks for the tips Ken. I'll be sure to check the connections, both visually and I'll wiggle them with the motors running on the bench (props removed of course). The replacement arm arrived today from UAVproducts.com and I should have bought a few, since they're only $4.00 ea. I'm looking...

I sent a message to V-east also, suggesting they offer USPS Priority mail. I'm paying ~$20.00 S&H for 3 lightweight propellers! I only bought from them because they had-em in stock and some others did not. I forgot to try AerialMediaPros.com.

This evening I ordered the replacement arm from UAVproducts.com. $4.00 for the part and $9.00 for the shipping. and had to order my 9x6 Groupner E props from Graupner USA aka http://v-eastonline.com/ I was not happy with the "handling fee" and shipping cost from v-eastonline but no place else...
