    Photohigher skyline rsgs

    I found the direction out pretty quickly! Just as well I had a quick-release on the power plug ;) Tilt was going round and round and round... I used auto and that will do until I flight-test. Weather is rubbish... I will document / photo when tidied up and tested. Especially since it is a...

    "Failed to connect to Skyline" Any secrets here. I have searched this forum... and while there have been many issues... I'm stuck. I got my Skyline (within 20 hours from PH - awesome service) this week and have just fitted it. I have downloaded the usb driver and have the "coms#". I have...

    Hoverfly New Hoverfly PRO Firmware v4.6

    Take it up to 20M / 60' first. Try a low ATV first... good luck!

    Hoverfly New Hoverfly PRO Firmware v4.6

    Thanks for the feedback. I'll load my machine up with a bit more weight... but the new AH just seems wrong.

    Hoverfly New Hoverfly PRO Firmware v4.6

    Testing experiences of 4.6... is it just me? Testing experiences of 4.6... Flashed, calibrated twice as per the printed out guide to 4.6. Twice because the horizon on the OSD was 5-10deg off. I have put a few batteries through my VM-6 now. The VM flew better on 4.3.802. Less twitchy in...

    Is size so important?

    I think you can go too large if you don't have enough weight. For example... I built a DIY 860mm 3.4Kg octo to carry a Sony RX100. Even though I was using a HoverflyPro controller (which is damn good when it comes to gain setup), it flew well but did move around a bit and felt light in the...

    On my diy gimbal with HFP, I am running a 4S main pack but I have: 1 x 6v 5A ubec = Main RX 1 x 6v / 10A ubec = servos/camera rx 1 x 12v 5A ubec lights and A/V tx. Only one battery to change each flight. The few A it draws in insignifacnt compared to the 30-50A flight current...

    Photohigher skyline rsgs

    I called PH this morning (the advantage of having them only 400 miles away) and spoke to one of the techies. We think it will work - as long as I'm using Savox (or similar) digital and the roll/tilt axis operate in a similar plane to the AV series. I have checked the photos of the Skyline /...

    Ok... a couple of questions. I have read a heap here but I need to confirm a couple of things. I have RTFM by the way ;) Just confirming how I thing this little beast works... I do not have a PH mount but a diy 2-axis gimbal, roll + pitch with belt and gear reduction on both with...

    How to train your camera operator

    We haven't needed to be separate yet but we have a hands-free cellphones if required. Training is also required so the camera operator understands to keep a really good outlook for pedestrian/car/aircraft traffic, especially declaring the landing area clear - and they need to know how to wave...

    I was testing my DW VM-6 at dusk over some roadwork last Wednesday night. It was ther first test of my diy gimbal and the RX100. The quality isn't great after stuffing-up some camera settings but you get the idea... I am delighted with the VM-6! My videos should improve... don't get too...
