Hairball. If a runaway craft causes damage somewhere and your name is on it, victims know who to sue. HPL, 400' is plenty of altitude in most situations. I can only estimate altitude. Don't put too much stock statements saying crashes are common. I've had good luck,

I found out the hard way that GPS "return to home" can come in very handy :-(.

Thanks for the reply Hairball. If a Cinestar comes my way in the spring, I'll follow up in this thread. A bumblebee looks nice. All carbon fiber? I'd love to see any media you have on the Web made with the Cinestar. What is your gimbal set-up on the the C8? The 3 axis Radian stabilization...

Does anyone know if the NPS allows multi-rotors within the parks?

Welcome to the forum. I built a DJI-550 a couple of months ago and love it. (link to my photos from the copter) https://plus.google.com/photos/104688579048759425474/albums/5800083779192696801 I strongly advise you to include GPS module. It makes flying so much easier and safer. It can also...

I saw a previous post where someone had problems as a result of sunlight hitting the Naza M. Make sure yours does not have the sun shining on it. BTW if you repost this question in the DJI section, you'll likely get more help.

Love this FPV flight by Robert McIntosh. Looks like a crash at the end. https://vimeo.com/34676743 Great piloting and cool music.

Well done achta !!

Mombasaflash: "Waiting for you to get tired of the awful Gopro distortion and to invest in some gimbal stabilisation." Mombasaflash, consider making a note... not to watch any videos I post, at least until Spring.

Welcome to the forum. Lots of helpful people here. I also fly a 550. Love it... but yearn for a Cinestar...

As a follow up to my initial start of this thread... I've been flying my DJI 550 for about two months now. Mostly on weekends. I'm more into still than video. Flying in GPS postion hold mode is a breeze. Other than some flip overs while attempting my first take offs, I've had no crashes...

Welcome to the forum. Tell us more about what you'll be flying and you may see more feedback. I'm new to RC flying as of October and I have a DJI 550 and a GoPro Hero 2. I use it mostly for stills.: My Aerial Photography (link)

Thanks Ken.

I find this thread interesting but confusing. I'm wondering how something can be illegal if there is no law making it so, as quoted above. I see here and have heard quotes from people about specific punishment for using multi rotors to earn money. Where does this info come from? An industry...

Welcome to the forum Bryan. I just started flying in early October. DJI 550 + GoPro Hero 2. Since you are looking forward to aerial photography via RC, I thought you might enjoy some of the photos I've made over the last few weeks. Below is a link to them...

Thought I'd share some of the recent still photos I've published to the Web. After shooting with a Canon 5D and 7D for a few years, I must say I'm disappointed with the image quality from my GoPro Hero 2. I hope to be flying a Cinestar 8 someday. On the other hand, I am well aware that given...

Interesting, especially at about the 23 minute mark http://youtu.be/20JCGDwBt7A

I want two more batteries for my DJI 550. I currently use a couple of Pulse 6600mHa batteries (one at a time) I get about ~9 min flight times with my light landing gear and the GoPro mounted. I'm considering ( 2) Turnigy 5000 mHa from HobbyKing.com but after reading about HobbyKing on...
