Dave I'm going to be picking your brains some more, so dont run off just yet ;) I'm still not sure on many of the settings on kopertools & all the videos I watch never show me what I need to know :( Ross

You mean thanks to all us MR guinea pigs ;) Ross

Oh sh1t!!!!!!

Thats why I went for the new droidworx SJ8 before it was even released, I wanted the biggest there was at the time, you never know how big a camera you might have to lift ;) Ross

Keep away from my stash ;) Ross

Interesting topic & reading peoples backgrounds. Im a photographer & want something a bit more smoother than my trex600e for aerial work (photos & video). I fly a 50cc SU26, thats my pride & joy, also a foamie F16 + helis. Why did I buy a MR? Because of youtube...I was seeing some incredibly...

Gas turbine it says!!!! But exactly how big is it??? Ross

Bart, I think thats superb filming!!!! May I ask were you tryign to get to the flag/hole, but you cant judge distance that far away...you need FPV mate. The video I saw was smooth & I got the feeling if speeded up could almost represent the view from a gulf ball!!!!! Personally here's what I...

Only pics of her on the deck, the take off was unintentional, trust me...would you fly a brand new octo for its maiden flight here....not forgetting I have NEVER flown a Multirotor before..I was a virgin MR flier until today ;) What shocled me most is how responsive she is, I thought it would...

or the mrs, mrs ;)

Thanks OVDT & Bart, I have calibrated the I2C-PWM, but I will do it again just in case. I think, though I could be wrong that its my radio settings? I used "SUB TRIM" & set the throttle mid point, then it showed 127 in coptertools, but it was reaching 254 a bit before full throttle & likewise...

I can imagine the hassle of getting permission, thankfully they do not own the airspace above the track...YET! FPV would certainly help you to get your position better, but a second person operating the camera (if on a seperate mount) also takes the strain off the pilot. Keep filming my friend...

It's saying 230....is that right? Ross

Right guys, here's the story. I have all props connected the right way, all motors spin the right way. I had the Mrs hold the octo above her head & she confirmed the stick inputs are correct. So I placed the octo on the deck, started the motors & slowly advanced the throttle....it lifted off the...

Chris, I believe there is some type of spray you can get to stop the erosion? The reason it magnifies the distance is called "Dead ground", if there were features...hills etc on water then you could judge distance better, keep at it...its fun ;) Thepelell, nice location...how did you get...

Just under the MK boards should be fine, there isnt much else you can do. Ross

Sorry Criag, I cant help but laugh...scarey sh1t :) :) :) hey every time I fly its scarey sh1t mate ;) Ross

An thats the video that made me want to film surfers Gunter. Love the clarity of the water from the air...dont forget I have a camera operator, so all I have to do is fly or should that be all MK have to do is fly ;) Ross

Chris...I see you're flying FPV & doing what I will be doing next summer. Shame about the waves :( I was watching a documentary about big wave surfers a few nights ago....75ft waves etc....now that would be scarey filming :) I mostly fly over water as I live on the coast of North Devon, you do...
