    Radian...Hoverfly...Cinestar

    We're panning the gimbal for most of our pans. Yes, I definitely need to do another lesson - the first one was fun. It'll be a few weeks though - booked pretty solid for the next few weeks right now.

    Radian...Hoverfly...Cinestar

    We recently completed our first day of shooting at Barnsley Gardens Resort. In this video we're sharing a couple of shots from their golf course that were filmed with our multi-rotor. This was shot with our Cinestar 8 with Hoverfly Pro flight controller and FreeFly's Radian stabilization system...

    Hoverfly Hoverfly Gimbal Controller?

    Twister773, I've got a Cinestar gimbal and I've learned a few things that will make it work to its fullest potential. The gimbal must be balanced, the center of gravity needs to align with the axis of rotation with the camera mounted. To do this on the roll axis, take off the belt, then...

    Freefly Radian Stabilization Module Now Available At Quadrocopter.com!

    The Radian and the Hoverfly Gimbal are both good. I speak from personal experience with both of them. To make these systems work at their best, the gimbal must be balanced, the center of gravity needs to align with the axis of rotation with the camera mounted, it must be set up to work with...

    Million Dollar Question

    The Radian and the Hoverfly Gimbal board are both good. To make these systems work at their best, the gimbal must be balanced, the center of gravity needs to align with the axis of rotation with the camera mounted, it must be set up to work with your gimbal, and belts and gears must be tight...

    Hoverfly Hoverfly Gimbal Controller?

    Kari, Glad you liked the video - we appreciate it! For the kayaking video, we shot 1080 24p. The camera was hacked with the Orion v4b hack, I believe. For the money, the GH2 is hard to beat. all the best, Ben Rowland

    DX7 or DX8 What would you get?

    That 8th channel could come in handy. DX8 has backlit display. I prefer the futaba 8fg super, but if I had to choose between the two you mentioned, I'd go DX8.

    New Equipment is Here (Cinestar 8 + HFP + 3xproV2)

    For my Cinestar 8, my primary gain is set to 77 on the transmitter (futaba) which equates to 102 in the setup utility. In the end, it doesn't matter much what the numbers are, as long as it flies right.

    Hoverfly Hoverfly Pro and Cinestar 6 Airframe

    Try raising the center of gravity of that axis. You do this by raising the forward arms of the gimbal. Ideally, you can take off the belt on the roll axis and move that axis with your hands and it will stop at any point you move it to (the center of gravity is lined up with the axis of...

    New Equipment is Here (Cinestar 8 + HFP + 3xproV2)

    PaNt, Sounds like you're good. Just make sure that when you're in the setup utility and you move the throttle stick up and down that the graphic on the screen does the same thing and stops at the top and bottom of the range.

    Motor bearing lubrication...

    When it comes to my cars, I've always changed the oil regularly and used high quality oil. When it comes to my multirotor, I've heard conflicting answers about wether or not they need some maintenance. I'm looking at purchasing some of this bearing lubricant...
