I guess I'm some sort of freak or just don't get it. Last year, I started on Hoverfly Pro on an x8, then small quad with Naza V2/gps. Then put xAircraft on my x8 and was thrilled with it in no to light wind but not so happy in wind. I had a ton of fun flying and learning on a small 450 with...

APVXtreme, sorry for off topic, but I live across the lake from you and am contemplating taking 2 or 3 of my MR's up into Northern Michigan in the fall for some filming. Driving through Niagara falls and then Sarnia saves a bunch of hours of driving. Curious if you have ever brought your MR's...

I just put a Naza V2 on an x8 and I'm happy with it. 18lbs auw. I had a HoverflyPro on a small X8, then on this X8 I previously had the xAircraft which I didn't like at all. Here's some footage from the 2nd time out with the Naza on the X8. X8 and gimbal are my own custom built designs...

How many cycles do you have on them? Sounds like you have 1 of each. Are these your first Readymaderc's?

Kloner, from all your posts, it seems you have lots of experience with lipos. So, it sound like you are saying there isn't a whole lot of difference in say the 25c 8000mah and up batteries. If that is somewhat accurate, then it would seem I may be better off staying with what I have and get...

Was out practicing and dialing in my gimbal at a friends home. Was told I could fly around his and the neighbors property. It was a bit windy early, but calmed down later. Was afterwards if I had any stills they could use next door. Decided to see edit some video instead. Could have done...

I've finally gotten a couple MR's running that fly on 6s batteries. I am in need of buying a few more as it's time to do more flying. Besides low and no inventory of many larger (8,000 and up mah) 6s batteries, I'm somewhat confused about the pricing. I currently have some 8000 mah 25c...

Found a beta release of DNG converter from Adobe. Says it will only last a short while, but it buys time. It works on folders. Tried two GH4 raw files and was able to get them into lightroom. Converts the RAW into DNG. Once you get to the following page, you have to check the agreement box...

Just always more stuff. Just tried to import camera raw from GH4 into Photoshop and Lightroom. Looks like I have to upgrade or find another way. Neither will read the GH4 raw files. I'm not doing the cloud and I've settled on upgrades every other upgrade on many software packages. Hope...

Mine came in yesterday. Playing around with it as I get time. I need to spend some time with HDMI to composite converter. It worked in some modes, but not all. Will report on that later. I did a 2 minute flight in 4k / 24fps @ 24 Hz and one at 4k 30fps @58 Hz. Used my 64gb Sandisk 95MB/s...

Bart. In the last 6 weeks or so, you have used your landing gears, built and used some RC Timer Retracts on a Hex, and now have this build going with the Freefly 3 legged landing gear that turns with the 3rd axis on the gimbal. I'd be interested to hear your opinion on the pros and cons of...

I view this with a mixed opinion. FAA needs to do something and this will certainly open the door a crack. However, I'm not sure I like the idea of a handful of companies getting a first license to the exclusion of others. I'd much rather them come up with an application process for anyone...

u Are you saying by going oversied on your ESC's, you are increasing the heat of the ESC (is this bad?) and also increasing teh efficiency (this is good?).

I wouldn't touch the SuperX for an x8 config. Check the internet, it's not working very good on x8's. I was at 18lbs on mine and finally gave up. It flew great in calm weather, but once in the wind, it liked to jump around too much. I'm realatively new, so don't take my word on this, but...

Nicely done. Great tips for peeps starting up. I noticed you had a vid of you testing firmware 3.2 and a crash. Was it r1 or r2? Looks like you're in a neighborhood with lots of houses. Think you convinced me to be more careful with beta software. I recently flew a couple of 3.2 r 2...

Upstate to us Western New Yorkers is a different upstate than to you peeps down my the city. I'm up near lake Ontario in a suburb of Rochester, ie Western New York. Neither Phantom has the Naza V2 as far as I know. I believe they have the previous versions. I have never had a glitch with...

When your radian replacement system is available, what is the approximate pricing (dollars) for a complete 3 axis controller, bluetooth, & imu going to be. Approximate is ok.

I've flown HoverFly Pro, Naza V2, SuperX, & Pixhawk. Still flying the last 3. My Naza V2 has flown great on a small quad, large quad, and now on an 20 lb X8. I struggled with a midsize and then large X8 with the SuperX. It flew fine in calm ot light air, but was very skittish in windy...

I was down in Chapel Hill flying and visiting with a friend who flies gliders. Joe Nall was a few hours away and we thought about going. We didn't as I didn't have enough time and would have added to my drive back up north. One of our friends stopped by to visit with us (another glider guy...

I'm going to give it a try for a while. GPS mode is not something I use alot, just mostly a fail safe for if/when I lose orientation of need a quick stop/ hold position. I did some IOC flying over water this weekend which seemed to work ok. I've used GPS sparing on the quad but always with no...
