I agree - great use of aerial shots to "lift" the whole production - arff! arff! No chance of me getting bored here - I'm a red-blooded male! "All aerial" videos can get boring!

I like that idea of the copper washer. I guess you could find such a thing at a plumbing store, but I see also that Misumi does them in any size/thickness you want (love that place!). Interestingly, to get the 6mm^2 you'd need, the washer can be amazingly small: 4mm ID, 10mm OD and 1mm thick...

:)Well, I'd certainly lose the Deans connectors - they really should not be needed. If your feed from the battery is the right size (say 10AWG or 6mm^2), then your ring doesn't need to be any thicker than that. You can get standard household electrical installation wire in 6mm^2 and 10mm^2 (here...

Did you weigh "The Ring"? To me it looks like it will be h-e-a-v-y! You could save almost all of that weight by some creative soldering. This is a 1-to-4 splitter I made as an example, but 1-to-6 would be just as easy. Note that the pos/neg runs are twisted - helps keep EMI down, apparently...

15 minutes appears to be exactly right for a complete, starting-from-nothing acquisition: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_to_first_fix But as you say, they must surely be storing sat positions to make subsequent start-ups quicker!

Personally - no! Looks like the bag is punctured - that's a ticking time-bomb IMO ;)

You don't ;) - 'cos even if you used a big enough cable, there's no connector that would take it. At that level, I guess you have to split the battery packs - say 2 ESCs from each "sub-pack". I guess you could install a big-*** copper bus-bar (like there is inside a domestic fuse box), feed each...

I'd agree that a dedicated video camera is likely to give better results. Interestingly, since a camcorder is likely to be lighter than a DSLR, it will be more difficult to isolate it from vibration. Good idea seems to be to strap your batteries to the mount to supplement its mass - whatever...

News Flash! New batch of CC boards are on their way to distributors worldwide! I happened to pick this up in an OP Forum: For the US - http://www.innov8tivedesigns.com/index.php?cPath=125 - if you pay by credit card you won't be billed until shipment. If you pay by PayPal payment will be...

Looks like an interesting product, even if the manual is written in Chinglish. But at that price I wouldn't call it a game changer. Looking at the configuration options laid out in the manual, the controller seems highly dedicated to stable, leisurely flight - i.e good for AP but no...

Glad to see Droidworx is still providing full and clear instructions with everything they ship ;)

Ask Mr Plettenberg if he can build a contra-rotating motor pair :cool: (like these Himax units)

Yep - looks nice. But I have to say that I'm utterly lost in the Droidworx model range now - so many variations! What's the difference between this and the Cinema Series? I'm confused! Also a little disappointed to see Droidworx getting into the patent-grabbing game. For a company that has...

I can certainly recommend the 17TSE for real estate work - it's what I use all the time (on a 1Ds) and it rocks! Negligible distortion, super-sharp, etc. but, most of all, a great improvement to viewpoints (mostly using it to get "more floor, less ceiling"). I rarely have used the tilt facility...

Mass helps ;)

The other difference between a 3-bladed and a 2-bladed prop will be the frequency of the vibration produced - the 3-blade will produce a higher frequency vibration - effectively easier to isolate.
