SuperX on Flat Hex. KDE 3520. Flights with weights to emulate cam/gimbal. Why do 1,3,5 (counterclock wise) motors run so much faster... 1st chart is superX with 15" cf props. 2nd chart is miniX with 16 cf props. Everything else is the same. All ESC's were programed at once with 6 into 1...

Buck converted down to 12 volts or so. I started that way, but then just bought some 2200 mah 3s batteries and use that for about 5 lbs of gimbal/camera + the battery. Strap it yaw axis cf tube of gimbal and power the video tx and gimbal off it. Pretty simple. IMO, cleaner then buck...

I went with the new X6 which is a 960mm (or so) hex with folding arms and retracts. Going to fly with 3520 KDE motors & 16" props. May take some avroto's I have off the shelf and try the y6 or I may just sell it. Undecided right now.

I looked at the kdsmodels you linked to . What bother me about those is cf tubes don't like alot of clamping pressure on the ends. The collapse. While there seems to be a bit of length where it goes over the end of the tube, 2 screws holding it down, make me a little nervous. I'm about...

Looks good...

And this.... But what's probably going to push buyers over to Sony is the SteadyShot electronic image stabilization (EIS), something GoPro and most others just don't have. The EIS on Sony's other Action Cams like the Mini HDR-AZ1 works well to smooth out the effects of camera shake and it's...

Full manual control..... That has caught my attention. Plus has hdmi and composite out (composite needs special sony cable).

I have to chuckle to myself sometimes when I see a bunch of patent numbers listed on a multirotor or whatever they call patents in China by companies who have made their name on copying other companies. Just bought a Tarot x6 and it has a pretty long list.

Also looks like the camera drops down when the landing gear goes up and then tucks back under the frame when the landing gear goes down. Not a bad idea. Hope gopro announces something that blows everyone away.

I agree with everything you've said. I'm going to try to get a little air time this weekend. Temps are in the mid to low 20's and wind in the 10-14 mph. Good testing cooler weather. If my footage looks good, then there is no reason to worry about changing. If not, I'll take a look at the...

I would think you could adjust softness by lengthening or shorting the wire length or maybe the wire thickness instead of taking out strands of twisted wire.

I use the long arms, but cut them back a little. I have my x8 around 850mm and my quad at 650mm. Here is some footage with the x8 and Centerpiece. You can read the description to get some more info. Was shot with gh3,

I use the the long Vulcan UAV arms. Sold in lots of places in the states. Think they are around $16 -17 or so apiece. I then redrill the inside hole to run them a little farther into my main plates. I do 50% more spacing then the pre drilled holes for mounting to the main plate. I cut my own...

I have the gh3 and gh4 which I fly on a DIY x8 w/ Avroto 3515 motors and Naza V2. It was originally a XAircraft but I was never able to get it to my liking as an X8. Gh4 and Gh3 w/ Centerpiece gimbal control on both my DIY gimbal and a DYS 5D gimbal are outstanding. I'm also flying a...

I ordered a MiniX a while back and emailed dealer today asking status. Said they hadn't come in yet but they expect them any day as they were told by end of month and hadn't heard anything to the contrary.

I started putting the Trooper y6 back together and as I'm putting the motors on the 2nd arm with longer 14awg wire to get to the ESC's which are now in the middle, I notice one of the motor mounts has a crack in it. I'm a bit confused as I'm screwing it down and I see the crack. I've read they...

I take a 12v power line from my main power via a buck converter into the Tarot gimbal. I then take (either channel 7 or 8, don't remember which). and run it from my rx to the pitch input on the tarot. I think I just just use the signal and ground, with the middle power connector disconnected...

I've had a winter cold so haven't gotten much done. However, I did get a quick 4 minute maiden in. Brought it into adjust the gains, went back out to fly and on startup an ESC in the arm caught on fire. Was using SimonK flashed Maytech skinny 40amps. Sent pics to dealer and he said they work...

Sorry I haven't reported back. Ended up buying new ESC's (thin ones) as mine were a tight fit and I wasn't comfortable. They came in while I was busy and then 2 days later the winter crude (nasty cold) got me. Still laying low, but hopefully will have some energy soon to get back on this...

+1 I agree. It's the same as I do. Desolder the bullet then solder it in the ec5.
