Hey gang, I might have mentioned a little while back that my wife and I were interviewed by the Baltimore Sun newspaper about our aerial photos. We've been printing and showing our work now and have caught a nice bit of local recognition for it. The Sun article finally came out and what was...

So I just picked up an NEX 5n, and I'm a little lost about the video format I should be using. Ideally, I'd use the AVCHD 60fps @ 1080, but Final Cut Pro, or any of my editing software on the Mac for that matter, don't seem to much care for it. Can anyone shed a little light on this topic...

One of my real estate clients had a strange request this week, and it turned out to be a ton of fun. He has a church group that builds a corn maze for local children for the last 2 years now. This year is the 200th anniversary of the war of 1812 here in Baltimore, so the maze was in honor of...

I don't know if any of you have seen this yet, but Sony is jumping head first into the action sports camera arena. Their first set of offerings include 2 versions of the same camera, one with built in wifi and the second without. The non-wifi model starts at $199 with the wifi enabled version...

I was just wondering what lens you NEX users have on your camera for AP? I'm thinking about the 16 mm pancake and then adding the UWA adapter for shots on the ground. Anyone have any input on the topic? -Terry

Sorry for the off topic post, but I know someone here will be able to answer this question. How do Infinite rotation servos work in relation to speed? With a traditional servo, if I move the stick 25%, the servo moves a something close to that. Do infinite rotations just adjust the speed...

My wife and I participated in an art show last month put on by http://rawartists.org One of the perks of participating was having a video interview done as well as a photo shoot of you in front of your work. We just got the video back tonight, so I wanted to share it with you guys. They...

Has anyone heard anything about the new Cineron gimbal for single rotor helis? This video mentions it was co-developed with DJI, and the footage reminds me a lot of something shot with a Zenmuse, except these helis are hauling Red One's and Sony FS-100's. https://vimeo.com/35672071 -Terry

Just saw this on the DJI site. What’s changed?  Modify the Fail-safe mode: there is no intelligent go-home, and the input range of altitude go-home is 20m~300m.  Adjust the aircraft landing speed during go-home, the higher the altitude, the faster the decline.  Enhance the logical...

Thanks, Bart, for breaking this up. I'm sure it will help out tons. -Terry

I just saw this over at engadget. http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/21/sony-nex-5r-and-nex-6--pictured/

Last week I took a trip to West Virginia. My wife has a lot of family down there and this was my first chance to meet them. One thing that was very interesting to me was a story I heard about the coal mine industry through out WV. I guess the easy coal has pretty much all been mined, and to save...

Ok, stupid question here. Which way does the mounting offset go in the assistant? If I have my GPS in the dead center of the frame 10 cm above the COG, would that be a setting of 10, or -10? I'm just double checking something here, but I appreciate someone verifying this for me. Thanks in...

This thursday the wife and I will be featuring a bunch of prints from the copter in our first art show. So far it has been gaining a little bit of excitement from people. The fact that it's "drone art" is catching some traction. My wife has been an artist for years, but hasn't been in a show...

Hey gang, I saw Team Black Sheep posting this on Facebook, so i thought I would share it here as well. -Terry Any FPV Pilots in the Laredo, Texas area willing to give the DHS (yes, department of homeland security) a demo? Send your e-mail address and contact info to trappy@gmail.com

Hey gang, I just had an awesome photo gig over the weekend that I wanted to share with you. Truth be told, we didn't exactly get the results that we were looking for, but the weather was mostly to blame. The project was to capture a few aerial photos of Artscape in Baltimore. It's the...

Ok, when dealing with RHCP ant, which do you use on the tx and which on the rx? I remember reading ages ago it was skew planner on the tx and cloverleaf on the rx, but then I just read the opposite somewhere else. What do you do?

Hey gang, So I have a small problem that I don't seem to be able to solve. I'm gettings some pretty bad toilet effect on my F550 Hexa w/WK. The build is pretty new (last couple months) and to be honest, I don't know that this problem hasn't existed in some form since I've built it. At this...

So, what is your take on the newest 5.12 firmware from DJI?

It occurred to me last night that of all the time I've been flying FPV, I've never switched from channel 1 on my vtx/rx. Have any of you seen much of a difference in performance from changing the channel you use? Which channel do you use if not the default? -Terry
