My weekend at the NEAT Fair in Shinhopple NY. Met some of the most creative and intelligent people in the RC industry. Love going there to fly and brain-storm.<span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px; ">

I love eDSC02555.jpg, this is great the way it is, you really get a sense of hight, size and perspective. Great work dude.

I now have an extra GoPro Case, I'd like to make something like layer lens with the case. Anyone have any ideas, pictures, instructions? I'd like to make my own so I don't need to spend the extra cash and wait for shipping. Can I just use the front part of the case by cutting away the rest of...

I can't remember now, but I think I used 9/16th. That was actually a better fit than 8mm. If Graupner makes them, they'll be better though.

I just found the washer to. Very Cool. My washers seem ok. Mind you I took the F550 to the the hardware store and went through a whole bunch of washers and and only picked the ones that fit perfect. I used statute measurement instead of metric as this fit better than the 8mm.

I got mine from RChelicanada, good guy good place. Another nice place here in Canada is Flitelab. You can send an Email to the guy at flightlab at almost any time and he'll get back to you within the hour.

Perfect answer! That really helps. I noticed that I get better pirouettes in attitude mode only. Now I know why I don't get great pirouettes in GPS. Thanks RTRyder!

Nice, I was thinking of doing something like this.

Has anyone been able to get the DJI F550 to stay in the same spot while doing a pirouette when in GPS mode? My F550 hold quite will in GPS mode but wonders halfway through a pirouette. I carefully measured the GPS placement in regards to the CG and I think I got it right on. Will

Nice to hear it Jack, You'll love the Graupners for time to come. I found that I needed to raise my throttle curve just a little to get make a smooth transition from Manual to Altitude mode. You may or may not need to do that. If you balance the motors and the Graupners you can illuminate vibe...

Cool, Thanks for the advice, I might be going to the States next week when if I go to the Neat Fair. If I end up going I'll look for a GoPro 2.

Came down like a freaking rocket. You can see how the Naza is still trying to keep it stable, but without the prop all it can do is dive. Love my Graupners so far.

@Kloner, Very nice setup. I noticed that you are using the top jack on your GoPro for FPV. I thought that was for only HD-TV, I've only ever tried the bottom plug. I'll have to try that top jack at some point. Presently I have the GoProp HD (same one I'm have lens troubles with). I'm debating...

Hey Kloner, Is that a gimbal or hard mounted?

The cam is not that old, it's just not turned on. The lens is the sunex and I put tape around the lens because there is a space between the lens hole in the camera and the lens' outer diameter. The tape is a kind of dust skirt. I was thinking about turning the earplugs inverted, but thought...

Notice that I'm not going real far. The area is called the Mer Blue Bog, translation = Blue Sea Swamp. (Nowhere near the ocean, go figure; crazy French). It's one of the largest bogs in this Canada, so having it go down would be a hell of hike through neck deep muck and shrubs, plus a $100. fine...

I just modded my GoPro with the Sunex Lens DSL355A-650-F2.8. Well, I like the lack of fish-eye, but now it really seems to be susceptible to any movement. My problems my be: The new lens. Making the earplug vid dampeners too long. Gains too high in the gimbal. Not sure; but here's the vid...

I couldn't agree more. "I've finally learned the hard way". But I think I understand jforkner, I know for me it was a bitter pill to swallow when I saw the price of the Graupner Props. I was hoping that if the DJI is so great then they must have great props to. However, the numerous posts about...

Thanks guys. Under tools? Cool, didn't look there.:black_eyed: That's good advice I did something very similar when I was setting up the OpenPilot Copter Control board. I like the OP CC as well, but it's a real trick to set it up. :livid:

I ordered Graupners when I ordered my F550. I didn't want to take any chances. I used the stock Props to set up and calibrate, once everything seemed ok I put the Graupners' on. So far so good. I even had a couple of tip overs due to auto landing where it shouldn't have and the props are fine.
