I just read the Forbes, will read the FAA later. I did not get the idea it would be that expensive. I've a drivers license, I have a boating license, both of which took classes and tests. Didn't spend anywhere near that amount. My car can or a jet ski can do a lot more dam ate than a 5, 10...

There has been a lot of mis-direction with the few "professional" licenses. Those companies have had to jump through hoops, been severely restricted in what they can and can't do, and pilots had to have pilots licenses. Applications are a mile long and complicated. This, if it comes to pass...

I will read it later also. One thing that stood out in the Forbes article, and if I remember, it was an opinion, is that the FAA is looking to come up with some common sense regs that can be enforced and that some of the responsibility is going to be put on the operator. They talk about the...

Very Promising. Here is an opinion in Forbes magazine. Very positive. http://www.forbes.com/sites/gregorymcneal/2015/02/14/the-faa-may-get-drones-right-after-all-9-insights-into-forthcoming-regulations/ 2nd link is to the goodle docs...

If your talking about the Zenmuse for the gopro, I suppose one could pull that off. However, all the other Zenmuses are camera specific and IMO, overpriced. Then to add an expensive controller would be getting pretty pricey. Better way would be to find some of the gimbals that are working...

Most of mine were pilot error, but I did have one mechanical failure that crashed it.

GotheliRC.com has them in stock w/ the GPS.

Sorry for dumb questions, but I'm not an engineer. Just seat of the pants stuff. On the 6208, did it matter what size battery or if you were using the CP or the CPHV? I have a handheld DIY with the 8017 on yaw. Maybe I'll give that a try in the air with CP. I only have the CP, so am...

Andrew or SleepyC, what size gimbal motor are you using for the gh4 sized gimbal ? I've only flown my gh3/gh4 with light lens.. To test mine with heavier camera, I'd have to try with my 5d and a heavier lens. Guess I could try that sometime to see if I run into the same issue.

Best buy has a 2 day sale (think it ends today) on the iPad min2 for 249... Might be worth looking at if you like Apple stuff.

Samur, you obviously have lots of configurations your dealing with. I'm not the least bit surprised there are issues with so many different gimbals. However, in the Case of SleepyC & Motopreserve, both have gimbals from your partners. Both are well above the average flyer with solid rigs...

SleepyC, you figure out what's wrong with my SuperX and I'll figure out your yaw? LOL.... How much does your gimbal and camera weigh? Is the full gimbal assembly fairly well balanced where it hangs from the yaw connection point? Is the gimbal CF or aluminum?

I have a DYS 5d with 6208 motors on all 3 axis and mine works with my gh3 or gh4. Using the same yaw setup and my DIY gimbal with 5208 motors on pitch & roll it also works. I have a couple of "unproven" ideas as I've tired my CP on a smaller gimbal with BMPC and could get it to auto tune on my...

No, but it's probably worth a try.

I have a new Note 4 phone. It's pretty good size. Ya think that would work in a pinch.

FerdinandK, your post from the first page makes a lot of sense. I have more MR's than I need, but looking at the ease of transporting the Inspire around and all the controls both for flying and filming, is inviting . You might have influenced me into selling off some toys so I can buy one. It...

What is the weight of the gimbal, without camera? Any idea what the price point is going to be?

I have been following the Inspire 1 owners thread on another forum. Very active with fanboys, haters, and just peeps trying to get em working or figure things out. They have 973 pages so far, so I'd call it pretty active, even with all the crud that's there. From reading only, no...

Come to New York in June to July. To cold in winter. Fall is nice in upstate for color. I'm 6 hrs for NYC in western upstate NY, up by lake Ontario. Emailed dealer asking him if they could test it for me with a couple other questions. His reply didn't include an offer to help/test...

Not that I know of. I got email back from dealer that I asked if they could test and got a negative or no answer on the testing. Suck is not a strong enough word for what I'm feeling right now......
