awesome job what size props??? cheers

MadMonkey - what size props where you all using. The Kopterworkx guys nailed it. x12, u7, that is a way to go, I think you could also pull it off by making an x8 with a 11oo frame, same motors 17 t0 18 inch props, at that size prop the 8 motors I feel you would get yourself into the 60 to 80...

There are are few way to go, but if you have the money to spend and want to do it by yourself. I would build an x8 using a Tmotors 4014 330kv with 17ich prop. Its anxious however the advantage of building a copter on your own, is understanding the ins and outs of the device. When it comes down...

I am in the midst of putting together a new Tarot x8 (frame name its really a octo)m super nice frame. The frame comes with Tarot electric retractable landing gear. I have not build any copters with retracts before, but I have seen videos showing people having issues when they tie thethe landing...

Simpler and 3 times the cost!

Hey everyone I thought i would share this. (note I only have done this on my RX100 iii - but understanding how a camera trigger system works this will work with many other models). I have been using my RX100 original for a few years not and as we have seen from other the camera does a real...

good thread Bart, I have been doing a lot of reading in this, I recently added weight to my copter and lost some flying time but I have been trying to figure out if my 3.5 under load voltage can be dropped to a 3.3 which would bring me right back up to where I would like be. Right now if I fly...

I recently have added some weight to my copter and starting to find my flight time has been cut down some. For the last few years I have been going by the general rules that you do not want to drain your battery capacity down below 80% and not to let you voltage per cell go below 3.5. When I...

I think you guys are on a good topic, first thing I would say is that your thresholds are set to high, I actually have been having some of the same problems but as I have been looking into it I have been figuring out what is wrong. I have been flying on the the golden rule that your should not...

I am in the middle of testing out a larger brushless gimbal using a alex moss 8bit controller, to hold a mark3 5d and have a question I am tying to figure out. In a hand hold situation the unit works great with no issues at all and once I have it in the air it also works pretty well...

mephisto Ya the landing gear was part of the copters frame, the vibration plate is from tarot, there is three ways to do the legacy gimbal, first is installing retractable landing gear ($300+), second you could reverse where the center hub attaches to the gimbal and handle area (hand held...

here are some photos for the conversions and what I had to do, at the end of the day I had to figure out a way to switch up the pan motor, the Legacy pan capabilities comes from a pan cage that is above the gimbal, so in reality the pan is inverse to what is need. I found as cinestar knock off...

Bart it your site and I get it, sorry you spent fathers day in part of this, I think you both are very valuable to the multirotor field and going forward everything will go on. I like the drink comment, but over all I hope it works out for the best for you all. Its just stinks to see this out in...

Av8Chuck thanks, mac's house is FPV with a 3 axis RC Timer NEX gimbal with Alexmos electronics. The camera was a rx100 with my tarot t810, if you all would like at other vids they are at www.elevatedmediaconcepts.com/video however other then mac's house and the solar field which were done with...

This is a nice site and all you guys make this place a great resource, its saddens me to see this being such a thing between two people who have offered some great resources. Sorry to hear the bad feeling and I hope for all the best going forward. Dave thanks for your help in the past see you...

here's is a vid from the first test flight, the results were good, on the second clip you will see what looks like a still image but its the copter in a hover for about seven seconds until it moves. the vid is straight out of the camera with not processing, other making the clips.

noid1037 The set up is not to bad, I took the RC Legacy Brushless gimbal, found a center hub on the web, for about $80, then I used all those parts connected it to the a mount plate from a real simple hobby L brackets, I cut holes in to match up to tarots vibration plate for they 5D gimbal...

First flight went well, i just wanted to see how the video would look while just getting it off the ground for 5 min, I am pretty satisfied with the results so far.

I just purchased a set of the new tiger ESC's T35A 600mhz, so as they came there is not much documentation with them, but they do say that there is not programming needed for them. My question do you still need to set it to your throttle curve? I imagine yes, if that is so, then is it like...

Kory thanks for the thoughts, I may try it down the road but I am going to make that on a shell of a copter to say, but for the time I decided to go the root you were mentioning, where I purchased a whole new set of the Tiger t35A 600mhz, which leads me right into my next post. cheers Jack
