I'm just learning and looking at logs for first time. Power cut out after 3 minute autonomous flight setup with grid for mapping test. 1st ever autonomous flight for me and this quad. 4s 5000mah gens ace battery. Have sent logs to 3DR about 1 1/2 days ago but haven't heard back yet. Would...

http://huff.to/1AvQbvW oh heck yea. Martha Stewart singing the praises of hobby drones.

I will also attest to that. I have Xaircraft SuperX on low KV quad, (started on x8), and Naza V2 which has been on small quad, large quad, and now my x8 w/ low kv motors. No problems with them other than I didn't like the SuperX on the X8. No fly aways or crazy loss of control issues on...

I got the iCharger 406 duo and I'm liking it. In regards to flying most of the day with 3 sets of 2 batteries, I'm curious to what is reasonable for taking 2- 8000 mah 6s batteries off my MR, when they are warm, but not too hot, and immediately putting them on my charger and hitting them with...

Very interesting story. There's an hour long video from 6-12 months ago about the organization. Drones were finding missing people (usually dead) after fruitless searches in some occasions. A fixed wing drone started offering his services free and had some quick sucesses. FAA started sending...

I have a similar setup and I love it. I made a 650mm frame with aluminum arms. Rock solid. Used the avroto 3515's to test, and then put them on an x8 at 850mm as I bought 8 of them. Now have KDE 3520's on the 650 quad. I flew it for a month with the Naza V2/GPS and now have the xAircraft...

I think I follow what you have in the last post. So if I buy one of your motor mounts, it looks like I'd need to cut the 2 blue plates which I do in my shop by printing out the part, adhering it to g10 material and then cutting it on my band saw and drilling on a press. I use 21.5mm carbon...

Hope this come through, but not 100% sure how this would mount on bottom of my multirotor. Does it all hang off the shaft of the pan motor?

It's aerial gimbal. Will probably alter later for handheld or maybe just build another as I sold my steadicam last year in anticipation of using brushless on the ground. I'm thinking of the legs coming off the gimbal, ie. the legs and gimbal turning together. I think the Cinestar works this...

I'm looking to add a 3 legged (similar to cinestar) 3rd axis setup to my 2 axis gimbal which is used with gh4, gh3, & 5d Mark II. I've never seen a 3rd axis on larger gimbal in person and having trouble figuring out how to build something strong enough. Probably go with the larger motors on...

This might help with position hold for you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=f6oDVQwUPwU

I have a Naza v2, Pixhawk, & Xaircraft. The best flying 450 and 550 I've had were the Naza. I'm still learning the Pixhawk and it has more features, but if I were just filming, I'd go with the Naza. I've had it about 12 months now and never had an issue. I'm very carefull about the sequence...

I think if you google led naza v2, it will should you a bunch of items for around $14 or so..... Or, if you know someone with a Naza, borrow it for a test.

I think you will find others with the same conclusion on the X8 config. I took my SuperX off my X8 at about 18 lbs and put a Naza V2/GPS on it and am much happier. I'm not expert, but I got tired of trying to get it to fly to my expectations. I now have it on a quad w/ 3520 motors flying 14...

Taking a lunch break and seeing a flurry of activity here. Bart, maybe your petition should mention the key points of the rules you are talking about. I have no idea what other countries require.

I've spent a lot of money and time to learn to fly and get good steady video & photo's as a hobby. I was open to maybe someday, safety permitting as well as working within current laws and regulations, doing some commercial jobs. However, my first goal was video and photo's of some of natures...

where you located?

I use 1 of these, it's great plus carries a 15" laptop. They are discontinued, but can still find em new and used. I scored a deal on e-bay for a new one @ 25 cents on the dollar. Crazy deal...

Kloner, having followed many of your posts, I'm curious as to your current usage of flight controllers, both personally and in business flying the Epics. I think you fly Naza's on your Discoveries, had HFP, but then went to ???, then tried SuperX on your Hex, that I think fell to earth near San...
