Flew a maiden early Saturday morning on a new DIY Y6 I built for some AV with Zenmuse H3-3D, it was 10 degrees with 5-10 mph wind gust no issues. Flew again early Sunday morning, 25 degrees and calm but all of a sudden the gimbal gave me a couple unexpected twitches, not sure what is causing it...

For a winter project I decided I going to upgrade my Rusty's UAP1 900 mm hex from GoPro hauled to a 3 axis DSLR machine. First order was to swap out the NAZA for a Super X. Everything seems to be working as it should electronically but while out trying to do my first GPS calibration I found it...

Got an email from Adorama Camera this morning advertising a new multirotor, The Aries Blackbird X10. It will help you effortlessly capture and expand your cinematic options, recording at altitudes of up to 1640 feet and for up to 25 minutes per charge flying time! The FAA is gonna love this...

An add here states "Aeronavics SkyJib-X4 Ti-QR, one of the chosen approved few by the FAA for commercial flight"? Is there any truth to this? Is there a list from the FAA of approved multirotors that any of us interested in going commercial can view? Before I go plunging more money into a...

Hey guys, looking for advice on setting up my hex with a pilot cam, Seahawk Pixim 690, and Zenmuse H3-3D camera. Right now I'm using just the GoPro on the Zenmuse as my pilot camera and using the DJI mini iOSD as my horizon guide which had worked pretty good so far but I would like to eventually...

Just saw this - Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX100 - http://www.adorama.com/IPCDMCLX100B.html Might make a nice alternative to the Sony NEX micro four thirds. Looking to move up from the GoPro format and this will definitely be a possibility.

Seems like my Disco Pro is no longer switching between profile 1 on the ground and profile 2 in the air. I don't hear the high pitch squeal that should be present once I take off. I've tried reloading the default profiles and calibrating the ACC and Gyro for both profiles, I do hear the squeal...

Had a disturbing thing happen over the weekend while out for a little flight with my P2/GoPro. Used it for a week while on vacation and had no issues (thankfully since I was flying over the ocean) but once I returned home and went back to a field I fly in a lot I had some issues. First it took...

Just saw a new Chrysler 200 auto commercial while watching "24" and some of the footage looked really familiar. Looked like Aerial MOB footage to me from the short posts you've put out recently. Nice work guys!

In town for a few days and wondering if there are any hobby shops in the area the specialize in multirotors?

I saw a photo the other day of a hexacopter that had three motors facing up and three motors facing down alternately around the craft. I've never seen that configuration before and wondered of the pros and cons of the setup. On one hand you could probably get away with running larger props...

I'm located in CT and have tried to keep a low profile on what I'm trying to do in this industry but recent events here have provoked a little interest and or controversy of "Drones". I work for a newspaper as a photojournalist and have had a few occasions to film certain situations but have...
