    Hoverfly PRO/GPS Firmware Update v4.8 Beta

    Now when you call it a "Beta," does that mean, "Don't try this on your expensive rig just yet." Or something else? (I'll likely try it on the expensive rig anyway, but put a bunch of flights on it before using it to film.)

    So everyone on here knows I'm a HoverFly fan, and that hasn't changed. I had the opportunity to try a DJI Naza with GPS yesterday on another person's multirotor - he was nice enough to let me give it a fly. Here were my first impressions... Manual mode: Hoverfly has the edge here. Atti...

    Droidworx or Cinestar?

    Sorry for rambling, but here it goes... I've got a lot of flights on a Cinestar 8 with Hoverfly Pro. That's a great combo. The Cinestar is pretty easy to build and the Hoverfly Pro is easy to set up. The Cinestar gimbal is very nice also. The only weak point that I've seen is the...

    Watch this and not laugh!

    Wow, lucky he didn't do more damage. I cracked up when he picked it up and straightened the main blades like he was going to give it another try after that epic fail.

    Hoverfly Pro or Wookong FC for new X8 ?

    I've only flown the HFP. I like it a lot. Manual mode is great. Back when I first started using it, I didn't like the autoleveling. They changed that feature a good bit since then and now allow you to tune the aggressiveness of the autoleveling. I set my percentage for that fairly low in...

    Hoverfly Hoverfly Gimbal TILT not working properly...

    Dan at Hoverfly got me taken care of! Problem solved. I had set the mounting wrong. The power plug was facing to my left, so I had entered FRONT LEFT. When I needed to set it as FRONT RIGHT because the power plug was pointing to the AIRCRAFT'S right side. User error. It happens.

    Show 'em this. It was posted a few days ago. It's a bit blunt, but I think it makes a good point.

    Hoverfly FC Comparison

    We've been using a Cinestar 8 with Hoverfly Pro, Freefly 3-axis gimbal, and Radian gimbal controller. Very happy with this setup. I haven't tried the GPS yet because I wanted to keep things simple, and we're flying indoors half the time anyway.

    Best functioning 3 Axis Gimbal controller as of 2-6-2013

    I'll answer this as carefully as I can. I've tried the three popular systems, Radian, Skyline, and Hoverfly Gimbal. All three of these controllers are built by people that are passionate about the products they're building and have put tons of hours into them. In my experience, each is backed...

    Hoverfly Hoverfly Gimbal TILT not working properly...

    Auto compensation is not working on my tilt axis. When I turn on auto compensation for the tilt axis, that axis becomes unresponsive. When I turn off auto compensation, the tilt axis becomes responsive to stick input as expected but obviously doesn't auto compensate. Basically auto...
