You running your Pixhawk on the 545? What size motors? I just built a 2nd Avroto 3515 x8 and tried 650mm. I put my Naza on it to directly compared it to my 850mm with same motors. I thought the 850mm handled better in the wind, but really didn't give it much of a chance. Tempted to try the...

For an x8 at kg, what do peeps think is more important for stability in 15-20mph winds. Assume stable frame, balanced motors and props. Something like a 650mm to 850mm x8 motor to motor span or the flight controller?

I'm a notorious jump in first beta tester. However, based on my experience with service and my Inspire (which flies great now with x3) I wouldn't touch the x5 for 6-12 months. Just too much frustration and no guarantees it will work within a short period of time with DJI. Their reputation...

“Make no mistake: unmanned aircraft enthusiast are aviators, and with that title comes a great deal of responsibility,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx. “Registration gives us an opportunity to work with these users to operate their unmanned aircraft safely. I’m excited to...

It was less than I feared. Good news is minimum personal information and once registered, your one ID number goes on all your MR's. I have a bunch and their configuration is changing all the time . I was afraid I was going to be registering all of them separately and redoing them every time I...

I have the x3 and a bunch of other drones that I fly the gh4 and gh3 on. I have held off on the x5 as DJI never get's anything right on first production units even though I'm prone to buy when things first come out. I spend a fair bit of time and don't remember anybody saving the x5 footage...

If the Black Magic Micro lives up to their past capture quality and the R/C portion works, I doubt if my 4k Black Magic Pocket or 4k GH4 will be in the air much.. It will be BM Micro almost all the time along with my Inspire. BM Micro for quality and Inspire for fun and good enough footage...

1080p is referred to as 2k as it's 1920x1080. Old Man. I agree and disagree with you. I've been in digital imaging for almost 35 years. In a small market so didn't have to deal with the hollywood, have the best or highest resolution, so I'm not really referring to that market which is just a...

I read the whole thread on the alta crash. The pilot was in the middle of a job and freefly wants him to send the unit in (after about 5 days or so) for repair. No replacement or loaner unit even though the dealer said he had a loaner if Freefly approved. Pilot gave up and bought an x8 and...

I've run it on my Inspire on a Note4 phone and Asus tablet. Not alot of time on it yet but so far it seems to work as promised. Bit of a learning curve that I'm still working on. Only issue I've run into, is two times I have been out in the boonies to try the way point flying, the app had...

I use this. It's 50W 12 v bulbs. Wired up to be 150w @ 24 volts. The middle black/red middle wires are connected I use the EC5 connector soldered on to a DJI cable that goes from battery to the remote. I have 4 batteries and a honda generator so I never take 6,8, or 10 batteries. 4 works...

There is one certain fact IMO and that it is their smart battery software is buggy / flawed. I have flown my 20 lb x8 with 6s batteries and never experienced s rapid voltage drop like what is happening to users. I am constantly flying & testing my many gimbals in R&d mode on partial batteries...

My 2 cents. Smart Inspire battery is flat dumb. It complicates and causes serious problems as well as undo stress. Doesn't do what it's supposed to and DJI has a big problem. I have 4 batteries and often am flying over water so this has been a huge concern for months since it was first...

Old Man "Clearly DJI is dealing from both sides of the deck." I remember watching their internet launch and when they went to China, they had a bunch of people (mostly 30 somethings and younger) in a condo or apartment way up high in a high rise. They were drinking and having a good time and...

Somethings not right here. 9 kg vs 6kg with part of it being a battery, 4 fc arms and 4 motor mounts. MultirotorUser, could you re-weigh your rig.....

Econfly, I noticed on your other video's you flew the InfinityMr. What's your opinion on the InfinityMR compared to the H3 and was it with encoders or maybe the CP controller? Not sure what part of the world you are on, but if your anywhere near the northeast (USA), I'd welcome the chance to...

Have you tried reversing at the radio level?

"Frame: Still don't know but not Gryphon. HexaCrafter/Vulcan/Falcon/CarbonCore.." I've built 5 and bought 1. Don't have anything that big, but if I were in your shoes, I'd go with the HexaCrafter. You get 2 things out of it. 1. A great frame. Never heard anyone say anything bad about the...

Just watched this review. From 16 minutes on is when he talks about this unit not being ready and he wouldn't buy it. I've been reading that some like it but some don't. Need to purchase or use an external Mic as audio is pretty much un-usable. Again, these are issues being reported...

Other than their hd downlink, the rest of the quad shouldn't be that hard to make better. Matching or bettering the gimbal shouldn't be that much of a issue and making a better camera is what they do. So why not 1 up the inspire, Especially since they upped the price today.
