    sun on the barometer

    Yes it's North East Med. and gets very humid in the summer. Nights are unbearable in July - Aug. Turkey to the North and Lebanon to the East and further down Israel and Jordan. Right now politically unstable all around us. I did once see 46 deg on the North side of the Island. Wow that was hot...

    Show us what you shot.

    Nice shots, I don't think you need to worry about a shallow depth of field. I prefer as is, to see the detail in both the foreground and the background.

    Up for an award...

    I don't think that is the case. It comes down to how many friends you have that are prepared to help you and whip-up a little support en-masse and not how good the entry is. When a competition is being judged by a panel of experts who have no commercial or other interests then it's worth...

    In the world of motor racing that would be described as bending the rules. Is it in the spirit of the competition? No it is not. I would be surprised if the rules somewhere outlawed that practice. It is your choice however. you are the one who has to live with it afterwards. Your Little Hint...

    Chris That is hardly fair on the other competitors. If the video is good enough it should be allowed to win without cheating..... Too much of that goes on.

    sun on the barometer

    According to DJI the naza case is not a sealed unit so the pressure differential outside of the case is a factor of how well each individual case fits together. I took mine apart and put a couple of very small holes on each side of the top casing and it seems to have cured that problem. I think...

    WKM 5.14a Problems?

    Are you using the latest controller, If not you should be sending it back for a replacement. The problems that you describe were what happens with the old controller on the new firmware.

    Zero UAV Zero UAV YS-X6 [Owners Thread] *Autopilot system for multirotors*

    No thanks, I know the AP business inside out since 1972 and that stuff is out after what I have seen with their production standards and the dramas with skyline. One strike and you're out. New Zealand is not the place to make anything high tech. Ask a New Zealander. I do however feel that this...

    Hamer X4 - Ultimate Kopter for Filming Industry

    I did not mean SR as this thread seems to be discussing the merits of a heavy lift X8. I am talking about highly developed machines that can out fly and out lift any MR. and do it RELIABLY. Their are no totally reliable MR's Yet. I thought that was a well produced entertaining modeling video -...

    Hamer X4 - Ultimate Kopter for Filming Industry

    If you need that much lift then this is the way to go. Skookum robotics will soon have a GPS module or you could use WKH... Lets see if the WHY entries can be up to this standard of production.... enjoy :tennis:

    WKM 5.14a Problems?

    As there is no difference in the motor controls between 12 and 14a it would suggest that 12 was not loaded and set-up correctly.....

    WKM 5.14a Problems?

    Ed you are right, There are so many different set-ups with people using a mix of this and that. How can anyone cater for all of that. I am more concerned about the state of play with those who are using stock DJI stuff. FWIW I had my motors stop on a S800/Zen. and it dropped like a brick into...

    DJI V5.14a with S800/WKM

    Has anyone had any problems with this Beta firmware on any S800 running with the latest/modified ESC's? So far I have had none, even running in high 35-40 deg. temps. but it's always good to know if others have. Some, I know did have an issue with the earlier ESC's.

    Mikrokopter MK or DJI....

    The general idea is to use as few stick inputs as possible to the gimbal and use the model to create the movement. Forward looking motion is good. The rotational is also good keeping a fixed point in the center. Sideways tracking is only good if done very slowly or when following a moving...

    Mikrokopter MK or DJI....

    The subject matter is not the point. it is the technique that is important to understand. Fast movements, particularly in the pan axis, create motion blur and strobing artifacts. When you get to work with a director of aerial filming you may find that what you see as being great may not cut the...

    S800 Arm's carbon fiber wrapped

    I also stand by what I said about DJI's engineering expertise. The DJI WKM is nothing revolutionary - in fact, it's an average performer in this field, indicating that the engineering involved is "off the shelf" stuff, pretty much available from the app notes published by the sensor...
