Nice One. I like to see imaginative filming. What camera were you using? How much post prod did you do? I am finding that the Sony NEX-5n ALWAYS requires a touch of sharpening to make it look HD. So ... er ... you work in the middle of an arctic wilderness then. Right?

Absolutely. Last week it was the Bermudas fer crissakes

Excellent

Perhaps you have not seen any of the BBC's Planet Earth/Life/Frozen Planet series with David Attenborough. They are an object lesson in innovative and downright unbelievable filming techniques and, more often than not, all achieved under the most appalling conditions. Of course much use is made...

Dawn over the reservoir at Magny-le-Hongre in Marne-la-Vallée, France. The music is 'Morning' from Peer Gynt by Grieg. Cliché I know, but still so appropriate for the magical mood of the crisp, frosty, winter morning and that 'Moment of Creation Sunrise'.

I have just installed a 3X pro on the big heli and at the same time upgraded the Tilt Axis to dual drive with a servo/belt drive on each side. I split the 3X tilt servo output to the two servos with a reverser on one. I do not know whether the 3X would control two servos from separate outputs...

Not really necessary to use another channel. Just split the existing output into two with a Y lead or similar. You will have to use a servo reverser on the second servo as it will most likely be rotating in the opposite direction.

14" props on a flat 8 will make a considerably larger frame (and even more acute backache as you try to reach the centre to do stuff). My AD-8 HLE has 410mm booms (standard at the time I bought it) and the maximum prop size is 12". I would like at least a 13" prop option because, despite all the...

Yep. I stuck with Octo's for the same reason. The thread is HERE

One has to assume that the "cute females" had PL problems necessitating Skype sessions. :) Does your day job know you are a genius?

Whichever one you get you'll want the other. Both configurations have their own lists of attributes and failings. For example, a flat eight will give you more lifting grunt than a push-pull, four boom X8, but the X8 should give you slightly better handling in the wind. An X8 will have a wider...

Yes Yes Theoretically, yes. It requires extra hardware and software setup. This is available within the MikroKopter domain with an external GPS transmitter and additional GPS receiver. MK also provides for a basic POI camera attitude with waypoint programmed flight where a POI is specified...

Run it direct from the Rx. Servo resolution is universal for the moment.

When you deselect Continuos Update and hit Connect you will get an orange line for a bit and then it looks like nothing is happening. This is entirely normal. After toggling the various parameters on and off you then click Save To Eprom. PL will reboot with the new firmware now active. At this...

As many will be using their 3X with an AV200 I am curious to know where you mount it. I first mounted it on this plate at the back here ... and then discovered that the Roll servo has incredibly strong magnets that overcome the Earth's field by a factor of roughly 50,000,000, thus making the...
