    Show what you filmed - Post Your Video Here

    did you have to just screw out the old lens and put the new one in or did you have to take your GoPro 3+ apart and put a new lens receptor (?) in. What was the total cost to get the 5.4 lens in?

    Gimbals just got a HUGE help.. could be the perfect video!

    Looks pretty interesting. Here is a follow up they did and should be talking their crowd funding soon, it's the 2nd video if you go to the link in Sleepy's first post. If they have their shots lined up correctly, then it looks like there will be a little crop loss. Shooting on a GH4 in or...

    New Pricing announced on Freefly Movi gimbals

    That's nice to see the M5 come down a bit as well as the rest of the Movi line. I'd like one, but they are still too high for me. If the Phobotic Centerpiece lives up to it's billing, (we should know in the next few weeks as they shipped the first 100 this week), I have a feeling I'll live...

    Photohigher Halo 8 & Halo 2000

    Gimbal and octo looked pretty cool. Bout the time I had a "I want one" moment, google knocked me down. $8,299 for gimbal, is just a couple pennies over my budget.. Don't even want to know what the frame kit is. Being molded cf, you sure as hell don't want to crash or have a hard landing...

    Where can I find this CF plate?

    I put the items that need attaching to on a scanner. Then take them into adobe illustrator (or any simple drawing program). If for instance, I need 3mm holes, I draw one out, dup it a bunch of times, then like for a motor, will put the 4 holes over the scan, then group them. and they are...

    Phobotic Centerpiece finally released

    Sounds like a plan. I have 3 gimbals I'm going to test. 2 on my x8 and 1 on a low kv motor quad.

    Phobotic Centerpiece finally released

    I'm gong to start by just taking some plastic screws or bolts, and tightening down some of anti vibration mounting balls. I'm also going to try a firmer setup during auto tune and then fly (hopefully with some moderate wind) and check the footage. I'm then going to fly a 2nd battery with the...

    Phobotic Centerpiece finally released

    Outside chance I might see mine on Saturday. Sounds like it's a pretty easy setup. Kind of like the xAircraft. Hook up the usb port. Drop the firmware on the usb port that pops up as a drive. Start it up. Hit a button and watch it autotune, then go fly. Or just hit one of the buttons on it...

    Paparazzi are going to ruin our Hobby/Work for us.

    From the article " In Britain, Civil Aviation Authority regulations say that small remote-control craft can fly in any normal airspace for private use, but are required to stay 150ft from other people and buildings, and 450ft from public assemblies. The operators are banned from using...

    price difference?

    I don't have the experience that some on these forums, but I'm getting there. I'm in my 2nd year and have spent way more time & money than I meant to. I have built 4 MR's with 4 different flight controllers.. I have 9 cameras of which my hacked gh2 is my test camera, gh3 and gh4 are my main...

    Phobotic Centerpiece Brushless Gimbal Controller

    I can't imagine pulling focus on a SD wireless signal is possible. My guess is it would have to be a HD signal. If they are flying an A2, they may be using the DJI HD downlink. If it's on his xAircrafts, then they are probably using or looking elsewhere. Kloner, how's my guesswork this AM...

    Phobotic Centerpiece Brushless Gimbal Controller

    Excuse my not knowing, but what is Halo? Kloner, do you currently have Movi experience with m5 or m10? If so, what's your opinion of it as to how good it is for from both a quality and ease of use point of view?

    Phobotic Centerpiece Brushless Gimbal Controller

    I wouldn't count out the 3rd party or the DIY's in this market. There is some amazing talent out there. Mechanics, IMO, are much easier than the electronics.....

    Phobotic Centerpiece Brushless Gimbal Controller

    If this gimbal works for you in your situation, then these guys have hit a home run. Your needs are probably in the 1% compared to the rest of us. An equivalent 12/24-35mm shot is probably realistic and going to satisfy 98-99% of the peeps out there. I think for your work, you'd be looking at...

    My brushless gimbal result

    From the developers perspective and a couple of the testers, they think/are sure that the Phobotic controller will give a noticeable increase in holding power with a given motor compared to the Alexmos. I'm counting on that being correct for my gh4/5d gimbal. It will be a weight saver for...

    My brushless gimbal result

    I think for lighter cameras, you can't go wrong. It's really up to controller and holding powers of the motors at this point. What camera are you going to flying?

    My brushless gimbal result

    I updated my Gotheli gimbal to his version 2 and got decent results flying a gh2 and black magic pocket cam (little on heavy side for the gimbal). Took the 32 bit board off my larger gimbal and did the auto tune. From autotune, I cut back just a tad and am fairly happy with the results. It...
