    Sony NEX-5

    Im fairly new to this forum and to MR's. Apologies if if I repeat ground already covered. Saw a couple of ideas on APLanding for live view and triggering of Nex5n. The HDMI converter looks a bit bulky but no doubt it could be stripped to PCB and mounted on a base plate...

    FAA action against RC activities

    Well yeah, there is the cost, (It has reduced considerably from what it was). I suppose it natural where a monopoly exists. Having said that I dont consider the cost of the course and tests to be totally out of hand, not in comparison to the industry I'm employed in anyway. what concerns me is...

    GoPro Resolution

    I asked myself the same question recently, mainly to reduce motion blur when yawing but decided to stick to 1080 & 30fps as I cant stomach the 170 deg FOV

    FAA action against RC activities

    Am I right in saying that the US you don't operate under any regulatory structure? We have a regulatory structure in the UK already (for commercial use of UAS). At present we have a single private enterprise approved by the CAA to issue the only recognized certificate......the BNUC-S. which...

    Adding a Photohigher AV130 to MK Hexa2

    I wonder if its possible to fit the Droidworx 360 type rotatable landing gear to the MK? Would probably work out little if any more expensive than buying the regular landing gear and mount. Just a thought! Steve

    Hello from North Central FL

    Hello Al, welcome to the forum. Nice flying! I'm pretty new to the forum and MR's, flying a gaui 330xs just now also. just getting my feet wet with FPV, thought I would be good at it as I fly RC Submersibles (ROV) for a living, and fly full scale fixed wing for fun. I was mistaken, I'm finding...

    Beautiful video Jeff, as usual. Heres a wee compilation I stitched together of my filming along my local coastline. Did it with my Gaui 330 and a fixed gopro so its a bit wobbly. Feel a little foolish putting it up as its real newbie amatuer league but what the hell.

    With full scale flying the horizon is the reference for attitude, should be no difference in 2D I reckon, going to make sure my camera is level and start looking ahead at the horizon more, see how I get on like that. I got a nice prolonged wandering hover round a pavillion last night with not...

    Juz, must give you credit, your flying is awesome. I am just now venturing into FPV. I'm using a 7" monitor and a small cheap cmos core. Its not the best but it kind of does the job. I have a hard time believing what I see on the screen and I'm finding it difficult to disconnect from the quad...

    XAircraft XAircraft Camera Mounts !!! In-Stock !!! XAircraft USA

    Are these 5" plates going to be available soon? The 4" ones are great for my Gopro but just too small for the other cameras on my shortlist to buy, plus might need a little space for AV out jack.

    Samsung TL350/WB2000

    Thats food for thought, NX200 certainly ticks all the boxes and at 220g. Do you know if the remote release supports any available modes of triggering, ie CR Gentles etc?

    Samsung TL350/WB2000

    Anyone using, or familiar with this camera for AP/AV: Whats striking is its switchable frame rates up to 1000fps! I guess this would be at very low resolution, but I wonder what frame rate it would do @ 720p. Has composite out, but not sure if there is a way of shutter triggering. Samsung...

    hexa / Y6 motor redudancy

    Faced with the prospect of investing in a Med/heavy lifter. I wonder if a hexa or Y6 could offer any motor redundancy, when I say this I mean the ability to navigate to a safe area and land in a semi controlled fashion that might save the rig and payload. Would appreciate any thoughts on this...

    I was just interested what meez was using for roll comp as he said it was a pan and tilt mount, just interested because I'm in the process of choosing a mount and many I have seen footage from seem quite jittery in the roll axis, but not meez's. I presume he meant tilt & roll.

    Meez: Was it just a 2 axis mount? does it have centre of gravity roll axis?
