Rocjock..... Thanks. Sounds simple enough. Have open channel on my radio & extra cables. Any idea for a hand switch or rocker panel. If not, maybe find the smallest radio in world to mount on hand unit. I envision hand shooting run and gun style with 1 person needing at least tilt...

From what I gather, it's a plug in module to be piggy backed on to the Alexmos board. I presume it will work with any authorized Alexmos card. From the pictures I've seen of viacopter card, looks like the one I got in the USA. I have another coming from a different dealer and I'm assuming...

I'm excited because I have a small 2 axis Alexmos setup that works decently (except for the high pitch noise ) and will only get better. Next version of software is giving the option of getting rid of noise and a whole slew of new features. Now an add on 3rd axis. WOW. I've ordered a 2nd...

Woke up this morning to this. Excited to see the 3rd axis coming. He didn't say when, but looks like it should be ready soon. Add on board, so logistics of getting them out should be a little quicker than original board. Results are unreal, even from his very simple diy gimbal. Can't...

For 20 + years I've configured, built, installed, and trained on computer systems for prepress, graphics, animation, and video editing. I've designed & installed both MAC and PC systems through the years. When video editing first came to be, we sold 90% of the systems on the MAC. Prior to...

Thought it would be informative to keep an ongoing list (in one place) of flying times. Let's try and just list configs we've flown. Please put questions and conversations in their own threads. JUST LIST CONFIGS AND FLYING TIMES HERE. Maybe we can try the following format for a while and...

look for 5006 - 5008 but beware your gonna be close to over amp on the esc's if the controller was able to do dslr's, dont cha think they'd be everywhere? Is this what your referring to? I Power 5206 with150 turns for...

I made some additions to my new 8x. Had a issue which I sure was my mistake, but want to check for opinions if I made 1, 2, or 3 bad decisions. Flying by myself so no one was at risk and luckily X8r was not wrecked. 3:30 into my 2nd flight with full load, I lost power and copter came...

From the vimeo comments which I don't know if official or conjecture. $15K mid size $7.5K small (DSLR) Watching the new video this morning on my phone in bed, the first thing I thought of was hooking my Alexmos up to a new frame and running around with it. Would be nothing to design a hand...

For those running a nex5, how many volts are you sending the unit and what are you setting for power 0-255? I'm still trying to calibrate. I see in the manual, you can do the cube or advance calibration with the main power off. Good on that. After I calibrated the second time I now get...

I have only been able to get the 32 bit version running also. Had a goofy issue in that one of my workstations wouldn't / won't run the alexmos gui, any version. Get an error about not finding javaw.exe. So I used the hex downloader to make sure I had the 1.31 firmware. It appeared to...

Deleted. Got the gui working with my new gimble. Going to try to calibrate with GH1 or GH2. Fits, but not going to get full pitch motion if I balance camera on pitch.

33,590 views since posted on Feb 11, 2013. First I've heard about it even though that's about the time I decided to build my first RC Model (x8) to carry a camera for filming and photography. I visit this site 2-4 times per day on my computer and phone, and I'm amazed this hasn't been mentioned...

RTRyder......... I just built an x8 with HFP. In the manual they say to have all top motors turning clockwise and bottom ccw. I just was told that it would fly better if I swapped two opposing arms and have CCW turning props on top and CW on bottom for those two opposing arms. (ie. front...

Got my gimble in today. Found the manual, where do I find the GUI ? Anybody know what the range of voltage we can use? Anybody know what's optimal? I've seen 2s and 3s so far. So 8.4v to 12.6v is in range? If anyone has one with a gh2 or gh1, let me know. That's what I'm going to try.

Dewster & helloman1976 I MIGHT GET THE DUMB AWARD TODAY. In starting to answer your questions, I decided to check everything. Did batteries first, then grabbed the copter and weighed it on a different scale then before. Number wasn't even close to what I posted. Went and grabbed...

I just start flying a new build (my first RC craft). I am very happy with my custom built x8 or xy8 as it's called. It's flying as expected but my flying times are terrible. My build is as follows. 34” or 863mm motor spindle to spindle. 1” carbon fiber arms 8” center plate w/ plastic dome...

Base to Base, the gh2 is under 125mm. Height is about 93mm. With the strap holder it's around 135mm. So I'm assuming it would fit if you plate is 170mm. Yes? Base to base, the gh3 is about 131mm and another 10mm total for the strap mounts. This may fit but might be too heavy for motors at...

Musky.... what about making you mount wider to fit a gh2/ gh3 or even a Canon 5d and some of the lesser EOS's? Seems just a little wider than nx5, would work. Looks like your design would allow that without a lot of work, just longer 22mm tubes. Not sure on the rest, but thought I'd ask.
