Went with 3 " extension, figuring I could cut em back a bit if they are plenty long. I'm using 15' props, but need 16" if I add heavier camera. Big winds today and tomorrow, but should get this up Sunday during the day. Probably will start with the gimbal on after seeing if they work at 50...

Have you decided on a gimbal yet?

Edit. I'm going to extend the legs 2" and see how that works.... Was going to order new ones but I forgot I have more than enough 25mm and 22m cf tube, so I'll sleeve an extra couple inches on to end that goes into the retract. Give it more stiffness and strength. Cost me nothing other...

Look like if I shorten each arm 2", the legs would clear on 15" props. Maybe 16", This would take my quad down to a 780mm, which is still pretty wide.... I need about 1/4" more clearance under the bottom plate to the anti-vibration plate to mount the retracts, so longer standoffs would...

To get the cross piece under the props, the retracts would have to mount underneath my antivibration mounting a Wssembly that the gimbal hangs off. Not sure if they would be in camera view or now. Will have to check. From the video, it looks like the solution is to go with longer arms, which...

Ummmmm.... Have to rethink this. I was thinking they have to clear just the motors, but maybe I'm not right on that. I need to keep the cross piece out of the lower props. But you are probably right, I'd have to go out past the motor plus 1/2 the length of the props... On a coaxial...

I have a x8 w/ kde 3520's which runs around 9kg or 19.8lbs AUW. I'm getting ready to put some retracts on it and finding I don't want to extend them to get outside the props @ 860mm or so. They are pretty tall now and I can either lengthen them, extend my bottom plate out so the retracts...

IMO, the controller & software is the sweet spot and gimbals are somewhat, a dime a dozen. Not saying some aren't better than others, but they can be built with a little common sense and a few tools. I personally hope the CP and firmware just keeps getting developed and improved. There is...

I'm been thinking about one. Thinking a some sort of motor with a rubberized servo wheel to catch the outside filter. Not sure it would work, but not to expensive to test. If the outside filter turns freely with some pressure from the rubberized servo wheel, then figure out a way to mount the...

I agree with GotHeliRC, that it looks like the battery was left in the Inspire. The melting of the case right above it and the area on the back side of the inspire seems to enforce this. I just flew about 4800 miles (1 way ) with my inspire yesterday. This shakes me up a bit. I hope it was...

Update. DISAPPOINTED AND OUT LOTS OF TIME AND MONEY. Unit 1, camera failure and then bricked radio on firmware update. Got replacement which I test flew about 6-8 times in cold weather than off to Kauai Hi for my 2 week vacation. About 8 successful flights on 2nd unit in Kauai. Then, same...

I haven't tried the new firmware, but did test the beta about 3 weeks earlier. My understanding, and my brief flights confirm this, is nothing has been done to tighten up the horizon levelness.

Camera replaced. Working great and video is as expected. Bricked remote, replaced and updated to current firmware. Flew a handful of test flights in snow and then the following day a couple more testing it out. All is good. While the video is not good as my Gh3 or Gh4, or other cameras, it's...

I was thinking it might be more of a difference. I thought I saw $1000 off on the aerial version of their larger unit vs the handheld. Be interesting to see how it works for you.

Any idea what the H6 ecofly is going to run?

Which gremsy gimbal. the new gStabi H6? If this is the one, are you getting just the aerial or the hand held & arial? I've been looking for prices on the aerial only, so curious as to what it costs....

I did try the chat at one point. I got an auto reply giving me the hours and phone # for La Service.

Replacement remote updated as it should. Linked as it should. Looks all good. Tech support in LA. 4 calls, 3 took 40 minute wait, the one call at 2 minutes after they open was about 25 minutes. Basic help, but couldn't dig down past the basics. Last call got cut off so didn't finish...

Camera replacement is in and updated as per the Success line in the text file. After 3 hours of fiddling around, I've put it aside, I cannot get the radio to bind and connect to the Inspire. It's pretty much a constant red led and once in a while it might throw out some beeps indicating error...

Quinton, that is my only hope that when I get the new camera, the Inspire will update and I will be able to bind the Radio. Sounds Like Tahoe Ed was able to do this with a returned unit. At least there's hope. My frustration is that this was bought for a trip I'm taking in 10 days. It was...
