I picked up a set of those RC Timer arms for my 550. They aren't the same height as stock arms, so you will lose a little bit of room inside your frame. I've already extended my arms with a set of carbon fiber extension plates I designed. They let me run 11x5 props with no problem, but I wanted...

This is being discussed Ina couple of threads right now. Try searching for one called "NEX downlink". Lots of info there, but the short answer is that it's caused by the auto-focus. Switch to manual and it should work fine. Some other folks claim to have success with auto if you set the camera...

Try moving your camera a little more towards the center if the craft. It's sitting right in the prop wash, so it's really easy to get blurred shots that way. Its the same as someone constantly pushing or tapping on the camera while you are in the air.

I try to be a good guy and follow the rules laid out in front of me. From many of the threads that are on this board here, as well as others I've seen, it's obvious that the FAA has laid out a "no commercial" flights rule for our aircraft. There seem to be countless discussions about it here...

I saw in another thread that this works... Solution is here: Use mode P, S, A or M and then in autofocus area, select flexible spot!

Has anyone tried this with the gentLED?

Hey guys, I'm starting up a new meetup group called Baltimore Drones. I am a member of a simular group in DC, but it's very hard for myself, and others, to make the drive to DC or northern Virginia. The aim of the group is to bring local multirotor and fixed wing enthusiasts together so that...

Up is the direction the props are pushing. That would be a horrible idea with the possibility of folding during flight.

You need #39 I think. It does movies and stills. I have it installed right now.

That was a good deal, I must admit. Glad to see you got it sold. -Terry

I haven't got one yet. I'd like to, but my primary focus is on stills at the moment. I'll wait and see what happens this year with direct drive brushless motor gimbals. A few folks have been working on something that I think will change the market some, or at least the super high cost of the DJI...

Aside from the price, the Zenmuse is great. It just seems like the S800 is no good with that gimbal. I've talked with a few folks that got it with plans to use another gimbal, but found tons of vibration issues, mostly high frequency that effects the video output.

9 out of 10 times I would agree with that statement, but judging by how many recalls and accidents there have been with the S800, it seems like they didn't do enough R&D before rushing to market and wasting peoples money. Have you noticed how many S800's there are in the for sale forum lately...

I have a feeling 2013 is going to be the year we see a lot of changes in gimbal design. Servo gimbals are such a pain in the a$$, and take so much work to get decent results.

Olof, great job. I couldn't agree more about the flying techniques. I see so many people trying to get the best stabilization on their copter before they even think about how they fly. I'm convinced that good video starts at the controller sticks and moves out from there. When you are talking...

The strange thing though, is that from tests, the "cloned" esc's appear to be better than the originals, from what testers were saying.

I saw a thread on another forum about them. They seem to be the exact same frame with different electronics. The wiring in the arms is also a little lighter in gauge. The funny thing is that they shut down that thread stating copyright issues. Weird.

Looks pretty cool. I'm building something very simular right now. What are you using for gimbal stabilization? Are those the 200mm landing gear?

Tons o reports about this. Search for "flip of death" on here and you will find a few threads about it. DJI have been replacing the faulty units. I forget the exact cause, but it's outlined in the thread. I think it's the wookong that needs to be replaced.

Nice job! It's always a nice feeling to see something like that in print. ;-)
