I think you'll be able to find all the help you need right here on the forum - but it's also fun to have someone local that you can build with. Make sure you work into the budget some extra props. Best to order them now - so you don't find yourself waiting when you need them. Seems like you'll...

Definitely good comments all around. I think for my part I felt less camera shy, and was avoiding having to crane my neck around which would have seemed like I was avoiding Bart altogether. I'm not that flexible! :). Seriously though, we will get the 2 shot better for sure. The show went long...

Oh, you're no fun :)

Your personal opinion is what makes the review have any value at all. Keep it coming!

Just got out here to Drone Radio Live headquarters to prepare for the show. Looking forward to it - looking like an interesting line-up for this evening. Hope to see you all there!

Really glad to see you posting this @Old Man I've been curious as to its capabilities, after seeing a quick overview from the NAB show. Thanks for all the updates.

Keep at it! This hobby is growing by leaps and bounds. I'm sure you will find some like-minded folks before too long. Do you have a good, safe field to fly in?

If you head over to the AMA site, you can do a search by your area. I'm sure you'll find a few. Not all will be as welcoming to "drones," but I had great luck up north of you in Vermont. Good luck and fly safe!

Thanks!

Ferdinand, Thanks for weighing in - I have always appreciated your builds and expertise. Quick question: what's your preferred method of power distribution of you steer clear of a pre-made PDB? @econfly had some good info on this subject a while back - maybe he can update is on what he's...

No need to scour youtube, the build thread that @Bartman mentioned will walk you through all the steps. :) There are probably a few 1-click options now that we're not available at the time, like the newer DJI propulsion system packages.

I think the problem with this debate is that the only way to truly have a real-world answer is to run 2 setups, with the ESC location (and wiring) being the only variable. Run non-stop, to see if there is pre-mature failure rates on the ESC at the motor mount.

Like the creative solution, and of course, love aluminum :)

At this point you may actually get a better bang for the buck with a camera that comes with the package. If you add a gopro to the cost of the craft - you're going to quickly be beyond your budget. While not all FPV racers are the "H" style, many are. I was talking more about the size. If the...

That looks to be an FPV racer style quad. The camera on there would really only be for flight - not exactly crisp. Do you own a gopro already?

I think Bart is right. If you are looking to get all the things you mentioned - and still keep it in your budget, the group build would be a great way to go. Keep in mind you need to get a radio as well - so that adds to the overall cost.

Let's get some forum member live calls!

That sounds about right. Aloft and Helibatics are the places I've grabbed mine. But I think the prices are usually all about the same.

Glad to hear the port was ok. That would have been a real hassle of not. Gremsy seem pretty proactive about updates, and also open to feedback. Hopefully they take your suggestions into consideration. Thanks for sharing all this info!

You'll need to post the specific products (the 250 quad model???) you're talking about so that we might be able to take a look and help out.
