I guess how much of a payload you would like to do, unless you are planning to extend the arms then you are not going to be able to extend you lift capabilities with larger props. I have done a lot time with this issue. I ended up making a F550 converted more to a 750mm, I then added 14 inch...

I have to say I am not a fan I would rather see legs like a small version of the S800 instead of putting them way out there. if you have a wide angle lens and you are hanging it from the center point, to get max out of cg's then you have a chance of the legs being in the shot.

I believe in a lot of the advice all these guys telling you, if there is things you need to know, this is the place, most of the people here are very good at giving advice. One of the things I am going to through out there is, you get what you pay for. I learned that over the last few years...

ya thanks bart, I believe where I am going is the result of the gimbal and camera combo, although the gimbal is doing pretty ok, the camera also does some of the work. The camera is a Sony hdr-pj710, which incorporates Sony's BOSS sterilization where the camera's lens and cmos sit in a contained...

Here is another test result of my Tarot copter second flight with full gimbal system operating. There is some post production only with exposure becuase the lighting went to heck right as I was lifting off. Stability is not perfect however I was happy with the result. The video has not...

Tarrot Octo Ironman 1000 with Tarot Gimbal This is the first video coming off my copter, its nothing special but its more about showing its stability with with everything up and running, (gimbal controlled by a second). Also the first time as a 2 man operation. So the setup is a complete...

This is the first video coming off my copter, its nothing special but its more about showing its stability with with everything up and running, (gimbal controlled by a second). Also the first time as a 2 man operation. So the setup is a complete tarot working system, to say the frame is tarot...

Problem solved, I was able to add some weight and any flying issue in control I was seeing went away, I tested it by strapping a 5lbs weight to the bottom the copter, the added weight increased the props to a point where it made the FC corrections manageable. I flew it on a signal 5300 (6s)...

Probalmo Solved. As talked about the motor head speeds/prop speeds were spinning to slow. So I strapped a 5lbs on the bottom of it, enough weight to simulate what the copter could be if I loaded up another battery, camera, gimbal, and a little more. I am pleased to say it flew great, I had a...

Update, I have not done much other then re calibrate my GPS but it did not change anything. My next step tomorrow or wednesday is to drop the gains way down. In the tuning guide when you have the gains on a slider they mention you keep bringing them up until Oscillation starts then back it down...

Teco if I say none, would that be a bad answer ??? I actually have a otco all in one power cable wired together and have used it on another octo in the past, I did not have any problems then. However with that said I have a gryphon power distribution board coming sometime this week. and plan...

Its been a while since I have posted something on this thread, but part of that is I have been working on video end of things. Over the past few months, I have been flying but a good part of my spring the weather has not always worked out great. I know on some of the previous post I have seen...

So after going over what I did for set up I believe some or all my problem may be related to calibrating the digital compass (me just not thinking about it until re going over the setup phase in my head) Here it the vid of the first lift off flight and what I am talking only showed it head for...

here's the vid This is the actual first lift off, however looking at it, the Oscillation is worst then what seems here. the vid is short and during the real Oscillation testing I was not rolling, you can see a glimpse of what I am talking about for a short time right around the 23 second area...

Just to correct what may be going on (me Dumb Dumb) I went over my setup testing and one of the things I remember I forgot to do it was re calibrate the digital compass (horizontal 360, vertical 360). I had this controller on a hexa but coming over to this frame, I moved the GPS forward by 12cm...

I have a tarrot 1000 frame with Tiger Navigator series 330KV, 14 inch graupner props . Nothing underneath the copter like a gimbal for weight. I am interested in hearing what people out there my be doing for numbers like over all gains, IMU z numbers and IMU placement. When I took it off...

first flight, Not something to celebrate yet. I did get up and did some flying however I am having a problems with it oscillating, not sure why, I then threw the gains on to a slider and found them best around 210 210 190 160. At time it stabilizes but at times it starts getting very aggravated...

Sorry to all, I have not posted on this thread for a while, I have been pretty caught up with life things, I am hoping to pick it up and over the next few days have some video of my copter flying, Right now I have it ready to fly as best as I can, I have done all the ground testing and setting...

I know I may be re writing or asking something from a previously post that has been tapped about. Some where in the last day I have come across on the net a post where WK-M is not really set up well for OCTO's but it works best for Quads. So in the post the person Y connected out M1 through M4...
