Quick Review: If you're thinking about getting the Echo, go ahead. You'll be glad you did. Slightly longer review: About a month and a half ago, I purchased an Echo anti-vibration quick release from Josh Kornoff of Allied Drones. Allied Drones manufactures a lot of products that make using a...

RC Rotors has been very helpful with helping us transition to a brushless gimbal. I can definitely recommend them.

Interesting. Odd that they don't show any footage of it flying.

Haha - yeah that's actually what I figured, but wanted to be careful about the response in case I was wrong. The truth is that most modern cameras are pretty good, and if you know your way around the cam and know it's pros and cons, you can make a good looking image with it. But if you want...

That's exactly what we do.

Thanks! We definitely want to return to Dewees. Unfortunately we no longer make the original file available for download. Let's just say that some of our footage was being used in an "unapproved" manner. We bought the gimbal and motors from R/C Rotors - we already had an Alexmos board on...

Thanks, John. It was a fun shoot. This one was shot with the GH3. It can do 1080 at 60p, which is great for slowing down to 24p for slow-motion. 1) Haven't tried it, but thanks for the tip! We will test it out. 2) We are only using brushless on the tilt and roll at this point, but plan to...

Thanks, Tom! Balancing the camera isn't too bad, but learning to tune the Alexmos can be tough. We recently used it on a Red Epic shoot and it is a time intensive process to tune the PID values to get it working well. But once you get it right, it's pretty awesome. I'm hoping to get the...

We had good luck with Orion v4b.

It was a fun shoot in an awesome location. Hopefully they'll invite us back again once we get this flying thing figured out :black_eyed: The slow-mo was shot at 60 and slowed down to 24. The rest was shot at 24. No water buoys. But we're pretty thorough about going over the aircraft...

Here are some highlights from a day and a half of shooting at Dewees Island, SC. This was our second trip there. We wanted to capture some summer scenery this time. It was a good test of the Hoverfly Pro and the new gimbal from R/C Rotors as it was a fairly windy shoot (typical of a small...

The Bahamas shoot was promos for Cartoon Network. I'll post them when/if I can. We will post the Dewees Island highlights next week.

An underweight / overpowered rig could be the reason. Or the gains needed adjustment. Don't expect it to fly like a calm day though.

We did two shoots recently, one in The Bahamas and one on Dewees Island. Both were fairly windy with some days blowing 15 to 20mph in the Bahamas. I had originally thought that these conditions were just too much for a flight controller, but the Hoverfly Pro performed well. I wouldn't recommend...

Cool. Makes me miss my motorcycle.

Those motors would overheat with a Red.

All is working well now and we have a new rig in the air. Good times! And it flies like a dream - as usual.

Thanks for checking. This is putting me in a serious bind. Hope they get it fixed quickly.

So I'm trying to update a board and I'm getting the same issue (now 3 weeks after original post). Can anyone test their connection for me? Thanks!

What is the advantage of the gear reduction? More torque?
