    HoverflyGimbal Board and HoverflyPro Board

    Scott (Capo Creative) is a good trustworthy guy. Whoever decides to purchase these items will be happy with their purchase. And, it's Hoverfly gear, which I'm a big fan of. Can't go wrong here.

    Hoverfly HF Gimbal Video

    If you want to omit the pots on the Cinestar gimbal, you'll need to make "dummy pots" that plug in where the pots currently do. The pan servo on the 3 axis Cinestar gimbal has on one of these dummy pots plugged into it. It is a male servo connector with black shrink wrap on the end covering a...

    happy with MaxAmps batteries

    It was a hot day, high 80s I believe (north of Atlanta). We cycled through 3 batteries. We had them charging on a Honda generator using an iCharger 306b and a Thunder Power charger (recommended by a friend, a good charger). Batteries were in Lipo bags if they weren't on the copter. I'll...

    happy with MaxAmps batteries

    If you're looking for some good batteries, take a look at MaxAmps. We've been using a few of their 11,000mah 4s batteries and they have worked out well for us. We're looking at using a pair of them for nice long flight times with heavier cameras. We used them all day on a recent wakeboarding...

    Hoverfly Pilot needed for paid Cape Cod shoot

    It's over a 1000 miles from me - too bad. On a side note, we flew our Hoverfly/Cinestar combo over water all day yesterday chasing pro wakeboarders. I'm confident in my rig, so I've got no problem flying it wherever.

    Belmont University filmed with our Cinestar 8, Hoverfly Pro, and Radian.

    Answers to a few questions... We have both the Hoverfly Gimbal board and the Radian system. I was one of the first folks to lay down some cash for the Hoverfly Gimbal. It is a good board. Tabb of FreeFly systems was kind enough to let us try out the Radian system. It is also a good...

    Hoverfly Prop choice for Hoverfly pro, HL octo

    I own a set of the 14x4.7 APC SF props and they work great when flying our GH2 on our Cinestar 8 with Hoverfly Pro. We recently shot for a client with a 5D MkIII and used a set of Xoar wooden props 14x5. They fly well with the heavier cameras. The APCs fly great no matter what the weight...
