    AlexMos and other brushless gimbal controllers....what is the truth?

    I always joke that the top half (the copter) is totally reliable, and the bottom half (the gimbal) is totally sketchy.

    New Year's Resolutions and Plans

    LOL. I'm flattered. I've worked hard, but I've also been very fortunate to work on some cool projects. I also have an incredible camera operator that I've known for a long time - Will Wheeler. Both of us have a long background in TV. Will has a great eye for good compositions. Part of...

    AlexMos and other brushless gimbal controllers....what is the truth?

    When the Alexmos works, it's good. I'm glad we made the change from servos to brushless. But as many have already said, brushless gimbals bring their own challenges. I've used the Alexmos in conjunction with the GH3 mostly, and a few other cams. It is tough to tune. And documentation was...

    Hoverfly Something Big?

    No worries - I figured you were joking. I'm just trying to prove my point that the Hoverfly Pro is a very reliable board. Never given us a bit of problems that I can remember. Once I set it up on a frame, I don't have to worry about it. And that's worth a lot to me.

    Hoverfly Pro vs. Naza V2 - one pilot's opinion

    We have a SuperX now as well. Need to spend some more time with it before I can directly compare it, but first impressions are good. We will see how it stands up to the HFP.

    Hoverfly Pro vs. Naza V2 - one pilot's opinion

    For a long time I've flown Hoverfly Pro exclusively. With around 3,000 flights on this board, I'm confident in it's capabilities and reliability. In short, it flies awesome every time. I far prefer to fly in manual mode - we feel like we get the best shots this way (probably because it's...

    Looking for Retractable Landing Gear

    Personally I like the tripod style landing gear that move with the gimbal. They're better for sticking a landing on tough terrain (uneven, sloped, or moving).

    Cinestar brushless pan axis mod?

    The second one looks like a good option. Some say that belt driven brushless is a good way to go for the pan axis to give it a bit more torque. Thoughts?
