    Hoverfly Something Big?

    Bartman, I find this part of your post the most interesting... I was wondering if George was still there, apparently not. Also, selling boards is exactly how DJI is staying in business. Boards with features, enclosures, and the like. They've released several new hardware versions since first...

    Hoverfly What Makes Good Aerial Video

    Make sure it folds! ;) So I'm not sure if this thread or the "Big Boy Setup" thread would be the best for a question like this but I'll try it here. I've got my little 3 axis GoPro gimbal setup with its own transmitter and remote control. A videographer friend of mine who is really interested...

    Hoverfly Something Big?

    Hmmm tell me more about this SuperX you speak of? Easy to setup? Smooth manual flying? Their web site is pretty sparse on info... would be nice to hear about it from someone who has flown a hoverfly pro and compare them if you don't mind :)

    Hoverfly Something Big?

    I've stuck with Hoverfly because of the simplicity and reliability of manual mode and that's it. Plus I'm getting old and it's hard to learn new stuff... hehe :) I've been researching the open source ardupilot stuff, looks complicated but once you get it working it looks impressive. I liked it...

    Hoverfly Big Boy Setup Questions

    Okay, I finally have my 2 man setup up and running. It's a toy compared to real big-boy setups but it does have a 3 axis go pro brushless gimbal hooked up to a spectrum receiver and a 5.8GHz Vtx. So I'm running channel 1 on my FPV 5.8GHz VTx and channel 7 on my GoPro VTx and it worked well for...

    Nex5 3 Axis Brushless Gimbal AG500DD from Tppacks.com

    I recently purchased the AG500DD 3 axis brushless gimbal from Tppacks.com on 9/19/2013, It's the latest version of their Sony Nex sized brushless gimbal. It's an awesome gimbal and I was able to successfully set it up on my hand held setup where it worked well. Unfortunately, this is much larger...

    Hoverfly What Makes Good Aerial Video

    As it turns out it uses the alexmos code but I suspect it's the unencrypted code as the board is a custom board with the sensor and everything all in one board. That field was supposed to be an elementary school when we moved into the neighborhood. It was supposed to be built in time for our...

    I hope them making a y6 out of a 3rd party frame isn't the big news?

    Hoverfly What Makes Good Aerial Video

    Sorry missed this question. I fly the 2 axis version of their gimbal with their frame: http://quaternium.es/en/home/47-spidex.html#/combination-hero_3_spidex_v_2 The handheld is a 3 axis gimbal but setup differently. It could be converted for flight easy enough though...

    Holy cow that was cool, loved everything about it. Just curious, why password protect it? Thanks for sharing!

    Hoverfly Something BIG coming soon!

    Haha... yes, the HFPro boards are HUGE, they need to be much smaller and enclosed. It would make them much easier to work with. I have to admit I've begun reading up on APM, they look interesting.

    Hoverfly What Makes Good Aerial Video

    I'm always interested in spare HFPro boards but it would be difficult to separate the quaternium gimbals from the quad frame as it uses a rail system. Now if you're talking about my handheld gimbal... hehe no way, I love that thing! ;)

    Hoverfly What Makes Good Aerial Video

    Hey Chuck, I picked up the AG500DD gimbal from tppacks.com for my Nex5 camera but I'm not entirely sure I'm sold on it yet. It was pretty spendy for what it is and I could have picked up an all aluminum gimbal from RCTimer for a lot less. I really like my Nex5T camera, it's an amazing camera...

    Nice demo Chuck, lots of cool stuff in there. I have to admit I'm a sucker for pretty ladies and cool cars! I'm still really amazed at your safari aerial footage. Wasn't that a Gaui 330x? As far as posting goes I've been a slacker, I haven't even flown for a month or so. The last flights I made...

    Hoverfly Something BIG coming soon!

    We're probably going to be building up too much hype but what I would like to see is a small, sport sized controller with ALL the features of the pro in a compact/professional enclosure like DJI with a feature set like the other FC out there that works really well. Hoverfly's manual mode is...

    Hoverfly Something BIG coming soon!

    Their facebook page has been dormant for several months, no posts on this or RCGroups in forever except for an occasional post from Ben... I was beginning to fear the worst. Hopefully it's awesome!

    Hoverfly Dji esc

    Unless you have an octocopter you can use one of the empty esc ports on the Hoverfly pro to plug your UBECs power. I've done that before, but if you're using all the esc ports for an octocopter then that idea is out.

    Ha, your rough cuts are better than most of my laborious edits... :) That's some nice footage, interesting subjects too, fun to watch. Thanks Chuck and Mike, some great discussion there. I think you're hitting the nail on the head Chuck about why I started the thread and the contributions...

    That was really cool, can't believe they got shots of the moon like that. Man I would have love to attended one of those workshops!
