    Panasonic G7 Arrived

    I took mine apart (I have 3, 2 of the white box and 1 of the Kopterworx). I took the top off the white box and strapped it down with nylon straps using the back for some 2 sided tape. Has worked fine. I don't live in a big heat zone, so heat isn't a big issue most of the time.

    Panasonic G7 Arrived

    Not all the converters work from amazon or ebay although they look the same. I have 4 - gh2, gh3 and gh4 cameras and they all work. Send your hdmi converter back and get one from another vendor. Read the comments & find one that works with the gh line. Or buy one from a multirotor vendor...

    $125 Tarot ZYX-M Flight Control - Had to try it.

    Went in the air today for 1st time. Used their gain suggestions for a quad and it was a bit jittery on my quad with KDE 3520. Turned em down 20% and it was better. Left ati gains alone. Will bump em up and try again. I too have had arming problems. I've done multiple radio calibrations. It...

    $125 Tarot ZYX-M Flight Control - Had to try it.

    I got mine today and my sbus didn't want to work. So I tried hooking up all my channels. Seems to work. Did the motor test and that worked. Set up the channels, took it outside and did the compass calibration dance with apparent success. Left props off and tried tried to understand all the...

    FYI, if I didn't mention this before, the MicroPiece is much smaller.....l

    Phobotic Micropiece Controller

    No, it's a new controller they are making. Much smaller in size. It is running the same beta software I am running on my Centerpiece. I have no idea what differences or features are additional or subtracted. It appears to work the same on my gimbal as the Centerpiece did. Don't know much so...

    Phobotic Micropiece Controller

    Yep, Lake Ontario. There's a little drift in a couple of places, but it's not bad and I can live with it. I once spent 2-3 hours on Vimeo and You Tube looking at Freefly M5 footage on lakes and I found a bunch with the horizon being off a little bit here and there, so I think this is...

    Phobotic Micropiece Controller

    I was lucky to be able to purchase a Micropiece form Roee @ Phototics. I'm not sure but it may be a pre-production model, beta, or maybe from a first small production batch. I just don't know for sure. Just had a offer to buy one and I did. Anyway, this is a boring video from some testing I did...

    Gimbals & Encoders 2nd half 2015 Have we Arrived?

    Was that the price with antivibration plates for aerial platform. That's a 33% increase in price. I doubt that was just some improvements. It's more like "what the market will bear" or possibly they made a miscalculation on what parts were going to cost. 33% on the retail price would be a...

    Tarot Retract Warning... THIN METAL!!

    I'd be willing to guess there was already a stress crack either form manufacturing error or possibly from a previous landing or some other bump. I have 2 pair of them and so far they are fine. That being said, I take more time on landing making sure it's as soft as can be with them. Wonder if...

    Another Gimbal Option, MOZA lite...

    No comment till we see some footage from dslr. At end of video, it appears it has a go pro on it. In my experience, it's all about gimbal motors vs the weight it's carrying on a well built and balanced gimbal.

    Inspire on Power Line

    Read about this the other day and then saw this today. Kind of hard to believe a 2 1/2 hour project cost 35 grand to retrieve it, but regardless, just another black eye for drone owners.... http://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/elaborate-high-wire-act-recovers-drone-stuck-on-115000-volt-line/

    Plane avoids "drone".....AGAIN!

    I haven't heard what kind of MR it is. Did I miss it being a Phantom? I'm wondering if it's some dummy or is it / was it a fly away. Can't imagine anyone going up that high in a major metropolitan aread on purpose. Kind of beyond dumb. There is a certain company that has been having more...

    1100mm hex build. Hexacrafter, T-Motor, A2. Oh my.

    You have more guts than I. Sounds like you are talking upwards of 39 lbs on a hex. Are you still pondering your on what gimbal to go with?

    InfinityMR Universal high performance gimbal for GH4/A7S size cameras

    It will really be interesting to see your opinion beween the CP and the AlexmMos with encoders. When you do the Alexmos, I hope you will try some different days and wish for some temperature changes to see if it stays consistent without retuning.

    InfinityMR Universal high performance gimbal for GH4/A7S size cameras

    Did you buy the AM from Jakub to? If so, I thought it would come assembled and ready to go or at least partially so you'd just have to assemble a few parts... Is it a kit with no instructions?

    Movi M5, Gremsy H6, Defy G2X, DJI Ronin-M, any others?

    You hit a few of the more expensive ones . There are plenty of others working in the DSLR Aerial world and more coming. Prices are coming down. It's getting confusing, but in a good way. I've get great footage on a Centerpiece and DYS Eagle Eye as are others. I also get good footage on a...
