Battery experiences: NanoTech I had three of them, although they work well they start puffing up pretty quickly. The harder you make the draw the sooner they will start to puff up. I got about 50 uses out of them then I stopped using them mainly because the puff tension on the battery is making...

here is some video I got yesterday while practicing one man operations; over all the its not a brushless gimbal, for the price the stabilization is not perfect, however I am not complaining. Cheers

Andy, Yes I did add the plate to the bottom, I would have done the same as the t810 plate but when I looked into it, the cost was $97 so what i did was order a center hub plate for a Tarot FY680 Adapter Cover Carbon Fiberthe cost was like $20, I had to make a small cut and drill a few holes...

funny, no it was just changing the camera's internal stabilization from active to standard to see what difference it would make in vibration. Who knew that could happen, unfortunately I saw some vibration, most noticeably when the ground hit the upside down copter.

here's what I am running at, it seems to work pretty good for me, over all I feel its a good start for any one working with it, during set up if the tilt go to far the unit will shut itself down, so it will not damage or burn out any servos. I spent about three hours getting it to a point where...

here is a quick raw video from my mount and rx100, there is not stabilization rigged up yet, this was more for working on Vibration.

Benjamin thanks looking at your signature info I believe you remember back just under a year ago when they recalled the GPS to be replaced with the new V2 versions. At the time they were experiencing such flips as what happened a few days ago. over all who knows what it is, but here's one...

When it comes to the rx100 I have to say for photography the camera rocks in the sense it give a bang for what it delievers for size and weight. However when it come for praticality for multirotor the camera could not be less friendly, It does not have any infrared, and the HDMI out is on the...

Ya not sure myself, I just landed the copter, did not unplug the copter power, I just changed a setting on the camera, then stepped back and started the motors by my sticks, in the vid it sounds like the m2 starts and goes full speed before the other even get a chance to spin. When landing I...

Looking to see if any one have any ideas, I was flight my copter for a few minutes doing a gimbal test when I landed it to adjust the camera setting. When I stepped back to restart the copter m2 motor cranked up and totally flipped the copter. I am puzzled only because I have been flying the...

I actually believe that system would work out side, what they did there was to create there own type of GPS system, and the copters work off that. In the beginning when he is moving it around and throwing it, the copters are reacting off the system. Out doors you would probably add a reference...

Here are a few more photos, My next move is to take a few in flight photos and get some vid, but for the time the copter is flying well and even when its out of balance it seems to be in a good state. I am in the midst of working on the gimbal. Even though I do not have a brush-less setup...

This was a real cool use of a hexa http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=eGimzB5QM1M This is a bunch of when things go wrong vid, you can see some seriously costing copters going down http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkpegCf44AY&feature=player_detailpage Just another...

The funny thing is the FAA category range for a UAV is from anything that sits in you hand up to the size of a 737, and that is it. Until they get that sorted in the books then we are in a range of complete anxiety I think its a bitter sweet side, There are elements of safety, I understand...

here are some first flight photos, Over all good result, winds were around 10kts gusting 18kts maybe a little more. Flew well, where seeing some white lights, not sure if that had everything to do with vibration from where I placed the IMU or just needed to be properly calibrated. During the...

I figure I would start this post about my tarot frame I recently got. For Father's Day my wife asked I would like, of course it was multirotor related and since I was not happy with my past F550 conversion to 800mm build, I asked for the Tarot T810. Not that my F550/800 was not a good frame, I...

Why is it other then DJI and maybe a few others that these companies making frames, do they not seem to concentrate on esc placements. I have not built 5 copters and other then (dare I say it) xaircraft and DJI (s800) all my copters I had to figure out where and how to place the ESC in a...

David I went in the Skyrover direction, and for a while even though the copter flew well, I kept running in to a problem where a boom or two would start shuttering at total weight of 4300g's+, I then changed the props out and seem to have taken care of it. However after a dozen flights I...

thats beautiful rig and exactly how I would like to see a mount made, Not knowing much with the brushless side of weight mainly I have not played with them much, with the way you made that is it camera specific or does it matter. I guess I ask mainly because I know weight plays i role and if...
