Cool, thanks. I do have a question about they way the power wires are installed. It looks like its wired for duel batteries but what if you want to fly it with a single 8000 pack? Also, here's an observation... After comparing the old red MK boards to the newer black boards it's obvious...

Hey all, I received it last night. NO MANUAL! It seems well built and heavy, industrial like. I like it so far but now it's time to finish the build. A manual or PDF would be nice for that.

Gens ace 5800mAh 18.5V 45C 5S1P Lipo Battery Pack This looks interesting, http://www.gensace.com/epages/genspow.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/genspow/Products/B-45C-5800-5S1P . Combining the above comments.....Gens Ace + 45C, ;-)) . Strapping 4 of these on a light SJ8 will give 23,200 mah. Hmmm...

That's why going with too big of a C rating is a waste of weight. Looking at a 65C battery of the same S count and mah as a 30C battery, there's a considerable difference in size and weight. Yes, it'll probably run super cool only drawing 20C but at what point is the trade off going the other...

Another question. What C ratings are the heavy lifters using? I see some using 35C lipo's but isn't 20C sufficient? I'm thinking 25C should give enough safety margin. I'm not the electric math guy so here I ask the question. Maybe someone can clue me in as to where I can find the formula's to be...

The AeroDrive route has been frustrating as well. You Herk guys have been flying for a while now but we are just getting them and who's to say that we won't have similar issues or even something entirely different. I just hope the wait will be worth it.

lol, oops! Thanks Ross, although that'd be awesome for efficiency. I did mean parallel. I do have 4S 6500mah packs for test flying while I wait for the 5S decision.

Funny, even with the full size systems that I use, we have drift issues. They are handled with a simple toggle switch called, NULL. In our control loops, voltage creep will induce the drift and the NULL simply tells the servo amp that the current set point is now zero volts. You have to be...

I too am looking for batteries for my SJ8/AV200-360 with AeroDrive 8 and Pletty 15-20's. Price isn't so much an issue as I seek performance(flight time). I've looked at the 5S 30C 8000mah packs but my power supply only gives 4.5 amps so I'll charge them at .5C....sloooow charge! I'm considering...

OK, the AeroDrive 8 was sent yesterday. Finally, maybe I can get this thing in the air.... Is there a vendor for accessories mount plates such as video transmitters and antenna's?

My AeroDrive 8 shipped today! I hope to be flying soon. I'm curious as to what guage wire you guys ran from the motors to the speed controllers on the AeroDrive8. I want to use 10 guage but some have said that's overkill. I prefer to keep the line loss down. Here's my setup for now; - SkyJib...

My statements come from EXPERIENCE working over 100 feature aerial film jobs and spots. Also several hundred video shoots for baseball, football, tennis, INDYcar, NAScar, CART,offshore boat racing, Olympics, concerts, academy awards shows, surveillance, documentarys, evidence footage for law...

LOL, OK guys... It was shot by Ron Goodman in 'Professione: reporter/The Passenger", 1973. Here's a link for the people that I typically work with, written by Stan McClain. http://legendofpanchobarnes.com/film/about-the-film/history-of-aerial-cinematography.html Lots of history here, good...

Using a load meter will help in the set up of duel servos.

The imagery was pretty bad. The isolation and stabilization was better than most.... Keeping a level horizon at all times just isn't gonna happen with a moving platform. Even the professional full scale systems such as the Wescam, Gyron, Spacecam, etc, can NOT hold a level horizon 100% of the...

Too bad that we can't just remote the compass... Recalibrating the PL after everything is installed helps some. @ George, what is the adverse affect of off-setting the PL as Peter did? What about putting it further away from the interference? Say, in line with the tilt axis on the opposite...

Mine runs fine as it was installed to my desktop. I didn't realize the program could be run from the website.

Heck George, I don't believe that any of the other gimbal stab companies out there are as proactive as you are with firmware updates. What you are doing here is almost obsessive but we the customers are benefiting not only from the updates but we are also influencing the changes to the FW...
