    Pre-release footage from GoPro Quadcopter

    I wouldn't count GoPro out. I remember seeing an interview a few years back with the guy that started it all. He made a simple statement, that anybody can put this together with the hardware (like his GoPro0, it's readily available. It's our software that stabilizes the video that makes this...

    Pre-release footage from GoPro Quadcopter

    I agree with all you said. They certainly have the ability to get it done. I'm just a bit worried that they will keep up with their auto exposure as they done for 4 version of the GoPro. Since they already do 4k, I'd assume they will do it again. I'm excited about the Black Magic Micro I...

    "Drone" Radio Live....Launching Oct 28th!

    Mine cut out 3 times. I just left it on and when I heard the audio come back, I went back to your video stream..... I did notice the numbers of viewers cut way back when it showed "off line".... The good news is after it cut out, when it came back, I don't think I missed anything. I have no...

    Pre-release footage from GoPro Quadcopter

    My thoughts after 1 viewing the other day. 1. Thought stabilization was ok. It should be, this stuff isn't rocket science anymore and they have the engineers and coders to make it happen. 2. I would never consider buying that setup if that camera is the best they got. One of my big...

    "Drone" Radio Live....Launching Oct 28th!

    Congrats on getting through your first show. Work on the back ground and dim or soften up the lighting. Lots of other little things you can tweak, but that's all peripheral stuff. Content is key. One of the things I found interesting was your conversation from the perspective of your day...

    Black Magic Micro Camera

    I am hope we see them soon. BH Photo says shipping soon although last week they said expected to arrive on Oct 28 if I remember correctly. I've had one on order from a company that I talked to last week and they said most likely I'd see mine in the first shipment as I'm early on the list...

    Gimbals & Encoders 2nd half 2015 Have we Arrived?

    Checking in to see what peeps are doing on their gimbals. I noticed some encoder gimbals motors are starting to find their way into the market, albeit a bit slower than I expected. The Infinity MR is out and the MR-s is coming soon. I noticed Aerialpixels has 3 gimbal motors with encoders...

    MR Insurance Industry News

    Looks like mainly peeps from large businesses. Be interesting to see what it might do to help some home owner insurance extra's for hobbyists or just a small policy for non business users.

    GoPro drone?

    Agree, a combo with our dream camera, small, high quality, no fish eye, & radio control tied to a hidef (at least 720p) video tx that doesn't break the band would be HUGE IMO. If they then threw a quad that competed with the inspire, which includes a pretty stable wind machine and a more than...

    GoPro drone?

    I have followed the GoPro development from day one. His early interviews were excellent as he was getting starting. He had an idea, it worked and he got traction. But he payed attention to what his customers were doing and followed them. That's when his business exploded. Some cash to grow...

    Just another drone stadium crash - college football

    Looks like the 24 year old college student is facing $500 fine and 1 year in jail. Evidently he almost hit a skydiver coming into the stadium with an American flag. Here's the local news report. http://www.wlky.com/news/Student-charged-with-wanton-endangerment-after-drone-crash/35218280

    S1000 crash - exponential drift

    Good habit it to take off in ATTI mode. Go up 10-15 fett and check that your sticks work properly and you multirotor is stable and responding properly, ie, left, right, forwards, backward. Not a lot, just a few feet each way. Also check your yaw and your throttle. If all is well, then flip...

    Big DJI announcement - Inspire 2?!?!?

    Mostly camera/ electronics. I think it was in the frame wiring or electronics That in turned fried the camera's. But don't really know as they don't give you details. Then I bricked the radio or remote as they call it during the first firmware update as did many others. Then the...

    Big DJI announcement - Inspire 2?!?!?

    My understanding is Lightbridge only works with dji fc's and gimbals? Is this still the case with V2? Did they give a price?

    Big DJI announcement - Inspire 2?!?!?

    As of right now, my Inspire will stay with the original camera. My gh4 will stay on the x8. My pre-order for the BM Micro camera will stay. A new gimbal for the Micro will happen if I can find one or build one that is very light. x8 can stay as is although BM Micro will look lost on the...

    Big DJI announcement - Inspire 2?!?!?

    I just have to go back to my Feb purchase of my Inspire that went through multiple cameras (their new 4k cam). 2 remotes, and 2 Inspires to get on that would do more than 3-4 flights before crapping out. 4 months without a unit while they sat on it for 6 weeks and then repaired it and then...

    Big DJI announcement - Inspire 2?!?!?

    To pricey for me. A camera that only runs on the Inspire and a quad at that. Will make do with the x3 on my inspire and continue my work on a smaller/ tighter x8 with the bmmicro with radio control and my existing gh4 and 5d mark ii doing framing in std def instead of hd. I think they came...
