Thanks Ross. I learned something new today. :-)

Thanks Ross. You just saved me $100!

I just found out a nice little bit of info on these video transmitters. While in the process of trouble shooting the poor range of my 5.8ghz FPV system, I got this in an email from my vendor. Am I the only one that didn't know about this? It seems that if it's so easy to burn the power amps...

So far i'm digging the tri-blades. My only complaint is that they were a ***** to balance and they can sometimes feel a little squirrely in a fast decent. I think that's because they are a bit thin towards the tips and must bend under pressure. I just ordered some 11x5 Graphners though, so we...

So did anyone ever come up with an answer for this problem? It's been a little while, but I have some reasons for revisiting it. My problem seemed to only occur when I had 11x4.7 APC props on. My easy solution was to go back to the 10x4.7 APC's. Now that I'm bringing my payload up a bit, I have...

Well, I guess s800 owners dont' have to worry about that since the RED epic is well outside of their payload limit. Beyond that, the $3k+ magic gimbal that everyone is waiting for more details on isn't big enough to carry a RED either. So, if you are looking for a payload like that, I guess...

F1 is Denny's own design he built himself, for himself.

Hey guys, just noticed the replies to the thread. The x650 is decent, but they had some major issues with the first version of the electronics that come with it. I ran the stock stuff for about a month and found it just to unreliable. I later upgraded to almost the same set up as janoots, but...

What's an APM2? Link?

I think they might have designed themselves into a corner with this one. A very expensive corner! If you start to price it all out, this could easily run you $8-10k for the craft, wk, gimbal and a collection of batteries. Now consider that they have not even released full specs or real demos...

I order from them. The key is to only order items that are in the US warehouse. No problems with returns then if something goes wrong. (if you live in the US)

If I had to guess, I'd say A since B is clearly just a render. A is a real photo. It's crazy to think that they have pricing and pre-order available though site unseen. One thing is for sure, with batteries that cost $420 a pop, this is going to be one EXPENSIVE bird to keep in the air! To...

Thanks for the info, jes. It does support my s90. I'll probably pick up a copy tonight when I get home, I just want to read up on it a bit more first.

Hey Denny, any more word on this mystery product? I'd love to hear more about it.

Never mind.. I think I just answered my own question with a quick google search. There is a plugin I need to update for PS to read that format. It is supported, I just have to run an update first. Thanks! -Terry

I'm using a Cannon S90, so it's the crw file extension. I just found a wiki for that file type and it says that Photoshop should be able to open it, but I had no luck. I'm using CS5 on a Mac. From the wiki, it sounds like that format is no longer being used by Cannon. Do you think PS has...

I'd also be curious to know how your workflow changes when working with raw compared to jpeg. Just trying to get my head around all this. Thanks! -Terry

Hey Ross, Could you explain a little bit about the benefits of Raw format? I've never used it before, but my Cannon has the ability. Like yourself, I like to shoot with the ultimate end goal of printing to canvas. How much would this help me in that effort? My s90 only goes up to 10mp, so i'm a...

The number one thing I would say is to make sure the quad is tuned in well before you start. Take a battery and just get it trimmed in really well, maybe see if you can add a little expo to tame it down some if it's your first time. It will help you from over compensating to much. The biggest...

I hear this often and it makes me feel like something is wrong somewhere in my set up. I'm going to look into this again. I've worked on it a couple times over the last year and never got it to a point that I was happy with. I've replaced every bit of gear in the chain at one point or another...
