Bart, thanks, I assumed that after reading some of the other comments. With the HF Pro, I understand that in a pinch, I can hover for a bit and try to get my act together, and then if need be, it can auto descend. In other words, it appears that if in trouble, one can at least get it...

Dolby: You mentioned having both but then you mention APM 2.5 GPS. Do you use the APM with the WK or HF or is this on a 3rd setup? I'm just a little confused on this one. As to cameras, my initial flights will be with GH2, GH3. with the GH2 or 3 being the main filming camera. I doubt...

Little confused as didn't think I needed anything better than excellent on basic stabilization. Bart says it's excellent for the onboard stabilization and then Stacky says the stand alone board is for pro filming. In regards to quality of stabilization for 2 axis between the two, does...

Does the HoverFly PRo FC gimbal have the same capabilities as their stand alone gimbal controller?

Bart, are you talking about the HoverflyGIMBAL Controller or are you talking about something else? I have/had that on my build list, but will probably sit tight for a few months before mounting my camera(s). I've ordered an Alexmos gimbal and going to first try the rewound motor trick first...

Futaba 8FG will be the radio. You guys are all saying stuff I've heard you guys write about here on the forum what you've said in this thread are the reasons I'm teetering back and forth..... B. Rowland, I'm impressed with the footage you've shared with us. That is more in line with what I...

Made the jump and order frame parts, motor's, esc, and radio for my X8 or XY8 build. Going to be in the 650mm to 800mm range with 8 Avroto's. I'm on pretty strict budget which is the reason I'm building everything myself, which I like todo anyway. I was going to start with the Naza w/ GPS...

Anybody know what the angle of the arms is for an xy8? Other than getting the landing gear farther away from the lens (wider angle to shoot), what is the advantage of a xy8 or an x8. I hear peeps saying the same thing about both. More stable in wind with little loss of lifting power over...

I'll have to go online and catch the whole program. I caught maybe 2/3 of the segment. There is certainly alot of legislation happening. As someone getting ready to buy my first fairly expensive multicopter for photograhy and video, it gives me a reason for pause. The Mrs. chimed in after...

You flying yet?

WOW. That's some pretty impressive (and scarey) technology. 1080 (3x) flip in the blink of an eye was just the start. Maybe the next Wimbledon champion.

+1 on Irisaerial's comments about simple is better. Ben's smooth moves and framing is hard to beat IMO.

Selling motors is for the future. I'm going to use Avroto's on this build hoping it will carry my camera's. I'm going to use 40 AMP esc's incase I want to upgrade to bigger motors later for a little more lift. I was just asking if there is any demand for used motors assuming they are in...

Been watching your build for a while. You have patience or are just a super perfectionist. Either way. nice job. Very good looking.

Can anyone advise me on what the considerations are for how close the props can be to each other. ie... say you design to start with 11 and 12" props and avroto 2814's. Hex or X8. Maybe later you want to go bigger motors and 13, 14, or maybe 15" props. 1/2", 3/4", 1" or more advised between...

HPL This is just my understanding. Haven't been told I'm right or wrong. Here is a XY8 flying with Tiger 2814 motors. http://www.multirotorforums.com/showthread.php?8927-my-XY8-grew-up I have no idea if this is the complete Bartman build, but I do believe it's one generational back...

RTRyder......I have an hdmi converter that's really light, but only works with my 5D, not my gh2 or gh3. (it works on playback only on gh's) I have been looking for a cheaper alternative than the Freefly, but will go that way when I get set up if nothing else pops up.

Been pretty busy so haven't had much time and then spent the weekend on the BMCC when it came in. You will be surprised how heavy the BMCC is. First impression of the gh3 are good. I was hoping for better photo's from it to displace my 5D mkII, but that was really wishful thinking. I'm a...

Doider, I just figured out today what a XY8 was and that is Bartman creation and am now following it. Watched some footage posted by Droider which I understand is a XY8.

Ben, I've been using the gh1/gh2 hacks since they came out. I got my gh3 last monday and friday got a Black Magic Cinema Cam. I plan on flying the gh2/gh3 combos and will probably be happy with those for a long time. With your octo, you can probably fly the Cinema camera. It's a bit heavy...
