    I have $6K - what to buy?

    Great post, thank you. As it's now mid-May, I don't know if I have the time to learn all that I'd need to in order to build one, which is not to mention the temporal realities of such an undertaking. You always realize that you forgot to purchase a critical part, you order it, wait for the...

    Phantom H2-3D on an F450/F550?

    I suspect you meant to put some punctuation in there but I think I know what you've written... You're saying Tarot makes a 2D gimbal that works just as well as the Zenmuse but is cheaper? By "2d" do you mean a 3-axis gimbal?

    Phantom H2-3D on an F450/F550?

    I purchased a gimbal for the P2. I don't know that the 3D is available for any other platform yet.

    Phantom H2-3D on an F450/F550?

    I confess I don't know what a GCU is. Do I need it?

    I have $6K - what to buy?

    Without any consensus on what frame, motors, battery, props, etc., I would have to do all that research and do everything else required to buy, build, test, etc. I'm not against that, but I don't have a lot of time now that flying season is here. My typical client has his own editors so...

    Phantom H2-3D on an F450/F550?

    I purchased an H3-3D from B&H this morning and it came with neither an adapter plate nor GCU, nor spacers, as someone else suggested might accompany it.

    Phantom H2-3D on an F450/F550?

    Can the new Phantom-specific H2-3D be adapted to the F550/F450 and, if not, will one for those platforms come out?

    I have $6K - what to buy?

    One thing I should have mentioned is that I must be able to fold/break down for car/plane transport. I was also thinking a Tarot but I don't know much about them and find it difficult to get reliable information on them - it's all promotional and poorly translated. If I thought I could save a...

    I have $6K - what to buy?

    Actually, I have between $6K-$8K. I'd like to fly the GH4, 5DM2 or the BMPCC.

    Will this yaw ever go away...?

    I have found that I can reduce yaw by flying in GPS mode, counter to what everyone recommends. Also, I must fly in wind 5mph or less. I made this video today under these conditions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEG62qF15mk Still, I'm looking forward to the 3D, which should make it easier...

    Retailer Suggestions for S800?

    I would say there are places instead of there is places but I get the point. I haven't heard about the injunction in a while but I haven't been following closely. I know of Aerial Media Pros (whom I would prefer not to deal with), All e RC (also not great for me), RCDrones, FloridaUAV, and...

    Will this yaw ever go away...?

    I live in NY and shoot in NJ, CT and MA and it's basically always windy here. Anything I shoot with should be able to deal with wind so the Phantom was probably not the right choice for me. And although I never expect Aerial Medial Pros to send me the H2-3D they owe me, I'm hoping I'll get my...

    That's some quality thread-crapping! :)

    Retailer Suggestions for S800?

    I'm getting closer to an S800/Zenmuse purchase and would love recommendations on retailers (other than the popular Southern California guys). Also, will I need more channels than my T8J will provide? Thank you!

    Zenmuse BMPCC on an F550?

    Will an F550 fly a Zenmuse with BMPCC?

    S800 or Tarot?

    I have been more or less assuming I'd buy an S800 and Zenmuse for flying a GH4 but I've been wondering if it might make sense to build a Tarot instead? Would it be less expensive to do so? Any reasons why this doesn't make sense? I'd probably use A2 but maybe even Naza V2.

    Fatshark goggles damaging Fatshark battery?

    My Fatshark goggles have an alarm that tells me when the lipo (really the wrong kind of battery to power a monitor/receiver) gets low. However, they don't warn me until the battery is well below 20%. Is the Fatshark lipo special in that it can be discharged below 20% without damage, or is it...

    I want to learn to program expos in my T8J

    I'm using my T8J for flying my P2, F550, Disco Pro and F450, and I'd love to be able to slow down the yaw control so that it's a more filmic pan. I feel expos will help but have never done it? Are there any tutorials or instructions I can study for this?
