I really hope this thing will fly. The hours are adding up.

I have tried to get good quality video from my CX-20 with a gimbal and gopro, but from what I have seen on the web and from my own experience, it aint happening. I will be selling the entire setup on ebay (hopefully) and may get the new DJI or something else.

I bought some 25MM tubing and a couple of sheets of carbon fiber in an effort to make a quadcopter from scratch with some left over parts from my first build. It kind of looks like if Dr. Frankenstein made a quadcopter but should be fun. Since taking these cell phone photos I have added an...

If I did not move up or down, I think my Phantom would have gone for a swim.

I have 4 x 17 inch props, a motor and a couple of ESC's left over from my last build and am dying to build another. I am thinking of making a large quadcopter with the legs of crutches I sawed off. They are about 30 inches long and weigh about 120 grams each. They are symmetrical and strong of...

I wanted to see if in GPS mode hexacopter would be able to handle the extra weight, so I attached a 3 pound weight to simulate a mirrorless camera. That's the plan eventually. I noticed in GPS mode the throttle is far more tame than in manual mode. In manual mode if I give it full or close to...

When flying in manual mode my hexacopter will climb like a rocket when given full throttle, but in GPS mode it doesn't climb nearly as fast. I've searched the web and only see references to the intelligent flight mode but that is not the problem. I've looked at all the settings on my Futaba...

Today I took apart my Tarot T810. Good thing I did because I found some exposed wires hidden in the frame and an ESC wire that was sliced. If the thing ever got off the ground in the condition it was in it probably would have fallen out of the sky at some point. Everything else looks good...

Hello dronevibes, about 4 months ago I got a Syma X5, then the X8G, a cheap racing 250 quadcopter, and then the Phantom 3 advanced. Now, I just bought a used Tarot 810 Hexacopter I am going to rebuild. I wish I got into this years ago. I have always been into photography and video, and when you...

I am going to be building a hexacopter based on the Tarot 680 Pro frame with a Naza flight controller. I want it to be able to carry a light mirrorless camera such as a GH2, GH3 or GH4. What would be a good dependable motor that could lift this and give me about 12-15 minutes of airtime...

Weather and light was not the best but I just had to get her in the air.

This was my 6th flight with my new phantom 3 advanced. I am usually a nervous wreck flying the thing because of lack of experience but not so much this time because I did not have to fly it too far.
