    GH4 Gimbal other than Zenmuse

    H3 looks interesting. Tiny, so I'd have to see it in person before deciding if everything I want will fit, but it definitely looks nice. Heck of a lot cheaper than the MoVi as well.

    Naza gains seem useless?

    General affects how quickly the aircraft returns to level flight. Atti affects how quickly the aircraft responds to stick inputs. Naza tuning is a little dumbed down but it tends to work okay.

    What would cause this issue?

    I dunno if you fixed your gimbal issue, but that exact thing was happening to mine until I updated the firmware.

    It happened.

    Obvious fake.

    Equipment storage

    I honestly dunno man. Take a look at this... That's just a 3S 1500 with a VENTED can. I just now saw this and now I'm terrified of a 6S 16,000 going up :eek: Look at it bulging when each cell vents...!

    Equipment storage

    I'm more concerned about the lid blowing a hole through my car roof if the gases don't have anywhere to vent

    Equipment storage

    For long distances I put them into lipo bags, and then into 40mm ammo cans with lots of vent holes drilled into them. The cans have side handles that allow me to yank them straight out of the back of the car in case something happens. Not perfect, but I feel fairly safe that way.

    I'm enthusiastic. I've had good luck with Tarot products so far.

    Tarot 650 sport retracts and motor position

    The control unit will handle a 3S to 6S input. IIRC the ones on our Cinestar and plugged directly into the PDB (6S).

    Grapevine, TX

    Heh, you could aaaaaalmost see where I used to live. You were standing in my old neighborhood when you shot the silo. I'm surprised you got away with that, Grapevine cops aren't known for being the most easygoing!

    New Release: Connex HD Video Downlink 3000FT $1599.

    Oddly enough, our Teradek Bolt 2000 got far less range using cloverleaf antennas. Signal is rock solid with the stock whips. No idea why that is...

    New Release: Connex HD Video Downlink 3000FT $1599.

    How would one go about changing to cloverleaf antennas? The antennas are my only real complaint about the Connex... they really don't lend themselves to easy mounting on the gimbal setups I have. Plus those little connectors scare me, I can easily see them breaking... any ideas? I'd be truly...

    How in the world do you fly FPV??

    We're just awesome like that ;) It definitely isn't easy until you've had a lot of practice, or an extremely stable aircraft. It can be hard to take that first step and transition into fast forward FPV flight, but once you do it gets a lot easier.

    Logbook?

    I like it

    Logbook?

    I was issued a regular full-scale logbook while I was flying UAVs overseas. I'm thinking about just using the same thing for multirotors since I'm used to it... a couple of things need to be changed, but it's not too difficult. Plus I kind of like having a paper copy. I'll probably end up...

    Remember Kids, Don't be a Dick

    Seemed to me that the crew was getting annoyed with it buzzing around them. It's possible that they didn't realize that spraying it could possibly cause damage to it or make it crash... being safety-minded (hopefully) I doubt they would have risked doing that had they known. I'd say bad...

    Wookong Optical Flow/Ultrasonic sensor?

    I'd be interested as well, for both the Wookong and A2.

    T-motor ESC's heavily filtered?

    I fly a Cinestar X8 with 80A T-Motor ESCs. Controller is a WKM. It's locked in, no stability or response issues whatsoever...
