    E1200 Tuned Propulsion Kit

    Looks nice. There is so much in the archives about props. I've read them all and most of the pros use tmotor cf. Makes me wonder about these folding props. They gotta be half decent. Dji wouldn't put them out if the vibrated all to hell.

    Do you change cog when changing payload?

    Let say you're flying a big rig and carry anything from a gh4 to a red with heavy glass. Do you make a point of lowering the cog in assistant software for heavier payloads or do you just leave it as is? Maybe use an average? Thx.

    What transmitter are you using for gimbal?

    The 8j is available from many sources. I will probably get that. I like the futaba interface. I'd rather just stick to what I know.

    What transmitter are you using for gimbal?

    Ya. There were 2 different versions. One you just remove a black plastic plate. The other (mine) you need to instal this little arm and spring.

    What transmitter are you using for gimbal?

    Amain (my favorite us vendor) doesn't show a futaba 8j. I wonder if it's discontinued. They have a 6j but it doesn't have a 3 pos switch.

    What transmitter are you using for gimbal?

    Just a FYI my 14sg didn't come with spring loaded throttle. I had to order a part. It was only $10 shipped. I don't use it. I just wanted to have it on hand.

    What transmitter are you using for gimbal?

    If your running a 2 man set up, what transmitter are you using for your camera? I'd like to stick with Futaba but I certainly don't need another 14sg. I'm gonna need, 5 channels at the most?

    Finally!

    Congrats. Terrible position when you have to sell at a loss but if you're buying again it really doesn't matter. Mods never answer pms. lol

    Product Review: Paralinx Triton 1:1 Wireless HD Video TX/RX System

    Good video. You are a good looking sob. Lol. I'm not a tech geek but I'm wondering what is so difficult about this technology that it seems to be advancing so slowly? Is it the lack of potential end users? You would think with the blistering pace at which electronics evolve we would have a...

    How has your luck been with grey market cameras?

    If I could find a place that offered "drop" warranties on cameras I'd buy it but I don't think they mean "drop from the sky". Lol

    How has your luck been with grey market cameras?

    I'm one of these guys that is a huge consumer of home electronics and never falls for the "extended warrenty" scam. I say scam because if all the stuff I've purchased over the years I've only had 1 failure. Most go in the trash because they are obsolete. Or I try to give away. So not...

    How has your luck been with grey market cameras?

    Thank for the great tip Joe. It will come in handy. No deals on gh4's though.

    How has your luck been with grey market cameras?

    Ebay has a lot of USA sellers, selling what I call grey market cameras. Then bring in from Japan brand new bypassing the local distribution network and sell at a discounted price. These are all brand new cameras in retail packaging. I guess the only problem is the lack of warranty...

    Foxtech Pivot V2 retracts... anyone?

    This is basically how mine will be mounted. Imo a tripod is just so much more stable than two "T's". So instead of the kit I just ordered the actuators and 25mm legs. Rather than using the rivits to permanently attach the legs I will use pins so I can remove before putting in case. Sorry...

    Foxtech Pivot V2 retracts... anyone?

    I just ordered mounting kits from Hexacrafter (for my Hexacrafter frame) for these retracts. Andrew from Hexacrafter is over the top when it comes to quality so the fact that he makes a mounting kit says a lot about the reliability of these. The kits you linked have the same actuator. Just...

    Foxtech Pivot V2 retracts... anyone?

    Ya. I did order 2 controllers. Better safe than sorry. They are small enough anyways.

    Foxtech Pivot V2 retracts... anyone?

    I ordered direct from Tarot. They took 3-4 days to ship but it was picked up in China on Saturday morning and I had in Toronto on Monday. DHL is crazy fast from China. I don't know how you would mount to round arms. You need to look on their website for mounting options. Here is a pic...
