Which camera do you have? I have the gopro 3+ and have never had a camera crash, to be honest its the first I heard of it.

You are using your gopro in wide mode. Switch it to medium or narrow mode and you will get a better perspective. Shot at 1080p and 60fps in protune at medium mode and you will like it a lot more than how you currently shoot in wide mode. the jump up to a GH3 means you will need a much bigger...

Sorry but these tests where people push their multi's with their hands are quite frankly really really asking for trouble. I have watched DJI and other manufacturers do these things in their promo videos and its really irresponsible of them to be doing this. It in turn leads to users trying the...

I know that if the job means I am going past my limit I simply wont do the job. My own limit is well under 100 meters.

My limit for LOS is far far closer than 500 meters. I would never even contemplate going 500 meters out LOS.

There is someone here on this forum I know personally who only ever flies in totally manual mode, he has no trouble with orientation up to 150 meters away and thats with a quad, hexa, octo, Y6 or tricopter. I have flown with him frequently and have never seen him crash. I think I have known him...

Chuck, as with all these alexmos based gimbals the quaternium gopro versions also suffer from horizon drift during certain movements. The nice thing for me however has been that the gimbals have all worked right out of the box, no need for any tuning and my communications with JJ at Quaternium...

Lovely, I have 2 of the gopro quaternium gimbals and the new NEX size gimbal. Very happy so far with them. The gopro versions worked right out of the box.

Blacksails with respect to colour grading etc this video was very helpful for me. I think someone mentioned the footage looked a bit flat earlier on. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jX45Yi1spY4

I will try and do a photo in a day or so for you. With respect to temperature etc, my Y6 hovers at 50% throttle, even in summer the motors or esc's dont get warm. With respect to your ecalc you might want to look for jes1111 on here, he is a genius at sorting out ecalc and it may be that you...

The circlip must have come off even before you took off. Thats why the motor and prop flew off. The unstable flight is because as the motors rev up or down the bell housing on the motor without the circlip will have been moving up and down the motor assembly depending on how much power was...

One factor could be your vibration isolation system. If your vibration isolation is too soft then you end up with the sorts of wobbles which induce jello. The key to vibration isolation is to have it as stiff as you can get away with. Make sure your props and motors are balanced and then try to...

I bought 6 of these sunnysky motors about a year ago. http://www.omgfly.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=77&products_id=10 They have been working in my small Y6 for all of that time without a problem. The Y6 weighs 2.3 kg with a gopro 3+, gimbal and 5000mah 4s battery included. i get...

There are many different levels of work available, from direct low end clients, direct high end clients, design companies, ad agencies, small or large film companies, video production houses, tv and film etc etc that discounting any single method of making contact with potential customers misses...

The balance is critical and there are 3 axis to balance. If you move the gimbal to any position the camera and gimbal should stay in that position. It must not return to level. The 1st axis is roll, then pitch and finally the cog of the camera in the gimbal. Its the cog balancing that catches...

I wear contact lenses and have no problem with fatshark goggles for fpv.

If you are planning to build your own and then possibly build a bigger one then Rustys frames are perfect. Rusty is over on RC Groups and has his own thread. probably one of the most respected sellers around, he has free replacement parts and his system is really simple, very flexible and the...

Kloner is probably right. I have spent far too much money on cheaper gear which ultimately hasnt done the job. If I had spent the money up front on a zenmuse i would have ended up spending the same amount of money but had more time getting useable footage. However if you just dont have the...

The Hoverfly website. I also see the brushless gimbal board makes an appearance on the website

I doubt many of us can fly a 3.5kg machine LOS at 1000 feet. In terms of depth perception 1000 feet is a long way away for judging distances to a subject etc
