Mat, Excellent explanation using laymans terms............. now all we need is a phone App.to help us tune from the site ? Sid

Certainly adding FPV brings a whole new dimension to APV but requires an additional skill set. It is probably the way to do AV well as a one man operation ? I agree with Bartman to some extent.....but there is a certain security in PH while the Pan axis does its job, especially omo, although it...

Good luck with your Documentary shoot........... Multicopters will be a pretty common place sight on TV and Film production sites in the not to distant future. What camera are you planning to lift, have the production team specified a format and minimum quality. I shot some footage for our...

While Multicopters are free of the mechanical complexities of the Heli's swashplate, they have their own challenges. The FCB has to be tuned to the individual platform to deliver the optimum flight performance. Then there is the matter of the board stabilizing the camera mount. Undoubtedly, they...

Panasonic GH2,............ successor to the GH1. Superb build and quality images, small and light 4/3 cam, ideal for AP/AV. It's on my wish list !

Very nice ! No vibes or 'jello' either from the GoPro. What method have you used to give this stable footage ? Nice bit of camera work too from your assistant........ Sid

Hi Ross. Welcome to the best and friendliest Multicopter forum ! ..... a long time since the frustrating days of the Blade 400. These Multicopters are are much more fun and a great AP platform, the difficulty is keeping pace with their rapid advancement in FCB's, frames etc...

Yes !........ a desirable frame from a company focussed on quality and innovation. I must have one...........

Got it sorted Guys..........thanks for your help. Had to pay a visit to a very useful Blog for the Gaui 330X. There are many helpful tips and instructions that don't appear in the Manual. It is necessary to return the EPA's to 100% prior to recalibrating ESC' which I didn't do and then the...

Interesting perspective for sure.............any onboard footage or stills from your recent exploits ?

Dave, The connectors are OK, all four motors behave OK when connected to Throttle but only motors 2 and 4 spin when attempting take off ? Very strange.........

Hope you guys can throw some light on this problem............ was forced to call my back up Quad into action whilst I wait on a firmware fix to my UAVX. It's a Gu 344 FC on a VC 450 frame with 25A Turnigy Plush ESC's to KDA 20-22L motors spinning 1045 props. Spektrum AR6100E Rx and 3S 5000...

If Father Christmas doesn't deliver or you can't wait 'till then............amazing video can be achieved at a fraction of the cost from the Panasonic GH1/GH2. The hacked GH1 is capable of 3K image quality. I know these cameras are not strictly video but they are small, light and with a...

Took a call from one of the many local Golf Clubs asking about AP for their new website. To cut a long story short, this was a job I quoted for two years ago and between the Committees delay in deciding and the severe recession my revised price has now reduced by 40%. I went there early this...

Kind of like a Wolf note on a Cello..........many quality Cellos over resonate on a particular note. usually f, f sharp or G. and it is most apparent on the G string. The fix is fit a suppressor on the G string after length(non playing side of the bridge) and tune out the offending wolf note by...

That's right.........the latest Firmware update has it but don't forget to enter the Menu to enable playback, (LVF) to view your captured footage and then revert to 'LVO' for capture.

Very interesting indeed................also, I see that Panasonic have introduced a 3D lense. However, might the 3D effect be somewhat negated from an Aerial perspective ?

The S90/95 is ideal for AP for all the reasons previously stated. When looking for Video out some cameras will support this in preview but not in 'record' mode. This may not be a problem for AP but for AV the image will be lost, so certainly useless for FPV. I have used various cameras...

Bart, It's not called the 'Emerald Isle' for nothing.......... we have forty shades of green too ! In that shot I used the LX3 hard mounted to the Quad with ' Shutter Prioity' on 'Burst' mode and tripped the shutter with the 'Rubber band and shirt button' trick which is a throwback to the...

Excellent info............thanks for your posts. We bow to your superior knowledge and wisdom, looking forward to your new platform and maiden flight. It has me rethinking my whole approach an AV rig. Now.............. what insights can you give on a camera mount and its stabilization ...
