    FPV setup. What to use??? To many numbers, not enough knowlegde.

    Spektrum gear is rubbish pretty much every FPV'er will tell you this. When I first went FPV'ing at this particular field my heli failed to bind and spooled up by itself flew into a bush. Obviously some nearby building must have been blasting on 2.4ghz. 5.8ghz is gaining popularity for some...

    What do you do?

    A lot of technical jobs here! As for me well I'm a 22 year old student but I have just finished University. Graduation is only a phew weeks away but literally yesterday I found out I received a first class honours in my degree (BSc, Multimedia Technology & Design with professional development)...

    yes I know!!! Newbe stupid questions..

    In my opinion your going to have to work your way up. Buying droidworx frame with MK parts and then going out flying with no rc experiance is a recipe for disaster and blow to your wallet too. You should go for a cheap multicopter that is cheap and fairly crash resistent. Along the way you will...

    Anyone have a 100% reliable 5.8Ghz video downlink ?

    Theres no such thing, its the nature of the frequency and no matter wt you do or buy wont change that fact. 5.8ghz is prone to multipathing and is LOS frequency meaning its penetration is poor.

    Collective Pitch T-Copter from AirFoil

    If you want to stunt fly then its the only way to go but I disagree to an extent that this is the future for all multirotors. When I converted to multirotors one of the big pros for me was that I was leaving all the bother with gear meshs, pinions, linkages, servos and belts behind that make a...

    Collective Pitch T-Copter from AirFoil

    It looks great. Got to see a video of this in action! Im not into stunt flying myself but you are potentially breaking into something big here seeing as no one else is selling CP multicopters.

    First day testing all works good!

    Were you flying low a lot? If you get decent altitude that shouldnt be a problem. You should also firmiliarise yourself with the area and visible landmarks so you know where you are when flying FPV. There are pan tilt systems with headtracking that will allow you to look around, although only...

    First day testing all works good!

    Life is a lesson. Money just helps you achieve some things along the way. Just curious what dont you like about FPV? I first got nausiated a lot but thats something that went away after a couple of flights. Care to show us pics of your multicopter?

    Cat Quad!

    Seen it before but this time it looks like hes managed to get it to fly. You know when your a multi rotor freak when you know what model the quad is just by looking at the motors with pretty much everything else covered. Clearly a lotusrc T580 quad.

    Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Survey (UAV)

    Filled it in although some questions really arent applicable for FPV'ers (hobbyists). Like when do you expect to buy a UAV....I already have one and although I purchased one, 45% are my own modifications so it would be nice to have another option... purchased and partially modified and self-made.

    Sorry... but...OMG what a pointless thread.

    Half price S800...

    I dont think it will seeing as the frame is aimed at semi-proffessionals and proffeessionals.

    gopro hero2 hd really much better then the hero hd?

    It sucks when a new cam comes out thats better than the version you have. If you have a gopro hero hd then wait for the next version. I have a feeling there are going to be major advancements. At the end of the day its up to you on what you do with your money but I have a personal rule which...

    Mikrokopter MK Firmware 0.88 online now

    Is there ever a list of bugs holger has fixed or is it mostly all pointless features all the time? Really I just wish they focused on elminating all the bugs causing FOD's and MK's dropping like a brick. Its my biggest fear as Ive had it happen to me several times. Luckily they were all only a...

    Happy Happy Happy.

    If its not a cinestar copy then your friend has been greatly influenced by it. Sure there are some modifications but that doesnt make it right... just saying.

    Happy Happy Happy.

    Thats fine if your friend is just making it for himself or a friend but if your friend is selling these (which it sounds like they are) then he/she shouldent be doing that. The designs belong to quadrocopter.us, making modifications doesnt change that fact. Profiting from oher peoples work...

    Happy Happy Happy.

    Looks like a cinestar clone possibly made by jugg? I dont blame people for copying the designs as long as your not selling them. The cinestar frame costs too much for what it is. Get me access to a couple of parts and a CNC and the frame can easily be copied at a fraction of the cost.

    Multiple antenna on video downlink Tx ... Practical?

    5.8ghz is a LOS frequency. Most mount their antennas above their quad body which has never really made sense to me. Mount it under the quad because the quad is likely to be above your GS antenna and not below it. Hopefully that way you can maintain LOS. Also avoid any carbon fibre in close...
