    Hey Visvid, would you recommend the f550 for someone starting out with mrc's? I'm in the process of researching getting one and torn between getting f450 and the f550, using the Naza initially. Ultimately I'm looking at getting a droidworks system in the future but need to learn the ropes first...

    System Requirements for Setup Assistant?

    Good question Jason and one Ive been thinking of for a little while as like you I run a Mac operating system and like you Ive decided to go with a small Netbook rather than stick the software on Parallels. The main reason being my macbook pro is old (although still works fine) and its used for...

    30kt winds!!! Thats bloody good going! I cant see any work actually happening offshore in those kind of winds so if you could actually operate the F450 in that it makes some possibilities more likely. Your losing me a little with the abbreviations :) whats SR? Being able to fly in full manual is...

    Anyone in the Barnsley/Sheffield area?

    Hey Guys and Gals (if there are any), I was wondering if anyone was near the Barnsley/Sheffield South Yorkshire area? Or, if anyone knew of any local clubs? Im a complete novice to whole RC Heli / MRC thing and was wanting to meet up with people to see what the crack was and to pick brains...

    Hey Steve, sorry about the delay in replying, the internet onboard here is intermittent at best. ROV client reps do tend to be looked on with suspicion lol like you say, generally because there is no fooling us lol. Id thought of owning a UAS for a little while, but having had a conversation...

    Hi from South Yorkshire, UK

    That looks a lovely set up Dave. I like the idea of running 2 batteries, I prefer to have a little redundancy, especially with something that can fall out of the sky! Are you using the 3D set up as realtime 3D or just for stereoscopic images later? I will keep in mind you possibly having a...

    Hi from South Yorkshire, UK

    Right Dave/Gents, how about this for a newbie set up:- DJI Flamewheel F450 Kit, DJI Naza FC+GPS, 3x 5000mah 3S 11.1V Lipo batteries and Charger; all of which from Quadcopters for about £611 and I was thinking the Spektrum Dx8 transmitter + receiver for approx £295 from somewhere else (I couldnt...

    A Video Interview with Elevated Element

    Fantastic work guys, loved the interview and really like your website too. Its quite inspiring, it shows what you can do once you put a bit a thought into something and think outside of the box and come up with something original. Good luck with your endeavour and keep up the awesome work. Rich.

    Hi from South Yorkshire, UK

    Its not something Im rushing in to, even if I wanted to.... Ive got to get it past the missus first lol. I was thinking of the F450 but thought for an extra £100 I may as well get the F550 and have the extra payload capacity.... Id like to stick a camera or 2 on at some point, to give FPV a try...

    How crashworthy is Zenmuse?

    The likelihood of my doing pro work is slim im afraid. I am completely new to MRC's, in fact I dont even own one at the moment, Im just carrying out research. However I will be investing in one soon enough (a smallish one I think for personal use). I have a possible use for MRC's within my...

    How crashworthy is Zenmuse?

    I agree Ferdinand, having everything routed through sliprings makes all the difference and now that Im aware of that then I can see where the cost lays. I wasnt aware it was available to pre-order at that price, in that case then its a bargain! Rich.
