    Commercial flights deemed legal... Trappy won!

    I know the usual suspects on here are taking this the right way but for the rest of the crowds, primarily the phantom owners, this is like a trial period. Dont **** up! This is like when mommy and daddy argue over letting their 16 year old daughter borrow the Benz for the weekend. They are...

    Flight Control consistency. - Anyone seeing a problem here or is it just me?

    I'm convinced that the very nature of these mass produced tiny circuits (such as the MEMS) are all susceptible to any and all interferences. Magnetic, solar winds, cell towers, microwave towers, wifi, etc. We are in such an RFI polluted world that it is amazing these things fly as well as they...

    IMPORTANT...What are your favorite forums sites???

    +1 on the paged actives. Been asking for that for a while. But the one single thing that constantly steams my clams is the search feature. If you wanted to search for an xy8 for sale there isn't a box in the advanced search for classifieds. But mainly you have to be too specific or the search...

    Gety images free to use??

    Good memory! I wasn't doing aerials as much as trying to gather a portfolio worthy of their approval. But I haven't had time to do this yet. I wonder if stock footage is dead as well.

    DJI S1000 Owners Thread - Mini Build Log

    Maybe someone can claim they found a cure for cancer and advertise it in China. Then a few months later there will be millions of cures for cancer for half the cost available to everyone in the world! I hate cloners, except Kloner, he's a cool guy. But this F U guy? These guys feel it is...

    The next rig for Yonder Blue Films - "Less Is More"

    I have a Hoverfly Pro and my XY8 is the best flying rig I've ever had. So far it seems the SuperX is the only one that doesnt like the asymmetrical layout. Though Xaircraft have themselves an asymmetrical layout so maybe they will have that configuration as an option in the next firmware release.

    Is this i dji A2 issue?

    I had that same problem with my Wooky and could never figure it out. I assumed it was a gain thing but I never got it dialed in. Couldnt tell if it was interference but it happened anywhere I flew. It was just like that, a throttle jump on yaw. Drove me nuts!

    DJI S1000 Owners Thread - Mini Build Log

    Man! China has no issues copying each other EVER! Not that I care for DJI at all but this is just crazy. Over here they would be sued overnight. That guy reminds me of a 70's car salesman. there is no honor anymore...

    Careful with your carbon fiber

    Use a heat gun next time. yeah, CNC'ing your frames was always worrisome to me. I would wear a respirator, wet down the sheets, and have the dust collector. but still it always get in everything. All that fine dust goes past the bag in the Delta dust collector designed for wood working. And...

    Aerial MOB arm extensions for dji based frames

    Most do have a glass or granite counter top. also the XY8 has always flown perfectly except for those Xoars which were problematic because the bore was 1/4" and not 6mm like they were supposed to. I have flown my coaxials with the arms definitely off by more than a degree and it has worked...

    Aerial MOB arm extensions for dji based frames

    Why not use a square on a flat table? It seems the bell of the motor extends past the mount so you could do this. Also I would tell people to take their wires out of the tube so they dont drill into them. Just some thoughts. Nice job on the arms.

    Panasonic's next GH mirrorless camera will record 4K video late February unde...

    It definitely won't affect normal recording to sd cards. My understanding is it is mainly for folks wanting xlr mics and those who need an sdi out. But te hdmi will still be what I would use for the 4:2:2 out in a studio scenario. I'm not sure what advantages the sdi out has over hdmi yet. Well...

    The next rig for Yonder Blue Films - "Less Is More"

    I never had a problem panning (seeing props) with the XY8. Though I had an av200/360 under it which is substantially lower than your BartBilt. Having the XY8 AND Y6 I would definitely take the XY8 over any config as my goto rig. But if i already had an octo I would take the y6 for flying...

    Flight controller's ability to handle loss of thrust

    Man that would be nerve racking demonstrating that in front of all those people. Here, let me show you how my 800 SRH still lifts a RED when I whack it in the gonads with this baseball bat! :)

    Water sampling drone in Oakland

    yeah, I couldnt tell if it was someone else's frame or their own. Looks a little more substantial than the aquaquad I've seen.
