    Zero UAV on the inside.

    It's hard to know who is copying who, but these guys are in front alright with the flight control algorithm and the quality of production. probably funded by military contracts. I doubt that they are much interested in sales outside of China. (beer money)

    Anyone tried F550 NEX-5N/7 2-Axis Gimbal....yet?

    Timecops little 32 bit controller is a great little board that does what it was designed to do. However the camera gimbal outputs will not do the job properly. You will see a cross axis output interference across roll function. I think the guys at the Afro site are working on that.

    Anyone tried F550 NEX-5N/7 2-Axis Gimbal....yet?

    Strange comment. In this video all of the shots were stabilized with DJI Naza and WKM standard gimbal outputs. The trick is to have gains close to 100% and then have your servo drive ratio to about 5:1 I have used the outputs from the AMP-2 that also work fine, you just have to know and...

    DJI Zenmuse gimbal and S800 Spreading Wings preorder

    At least DJI tell you that it is pre-order. The Chinese law protects these people from this type of scam. a company called Simply Electronics will take your orders and money then send you nothing. After a few weeks of credit card hassle you get your money back (if you're lucky) but they have...

    XAircraft Crashes - How many and how bad?

    The solder pad coming loose is quite common, especially if it was overheated when the joint was made. I have always used a manifold style wire harness which is the most reliable way. IMHO. It is also easy to incorporate a good quality switch.

    GoPro Test with 5.08

    I returned to the test track this morning to try a different gimbal and DJI's 5.08 firmware. The footage is raw from the camera and the IMU is from the WKM gimbal outputs. Motors and ESC's barely warm, About 12 mins duration on a 4s/5,000 ma battery. The F1 is a very stable quad but...

    X8 vs. flat octo redundancy comparison.

    My thinking on the idea of having top one way and bottom the other is that when you yaw left the response is going to be different to right -Right? One set will be more dominant than the other, I expect. Yaw response is very critical of any prop differences. It could try to rise in one...

    X8 vs. flat octo redundancy comparison.

    Well I'm not trying to be critical of your design Bart I hope you can do well with it, This was a discussion about the merits of various configerations. However if you're really trying to be convincing over safety shouldn't those props. have guards around them and get the weight down a bit with...

    X8 vs. flat octo redundancy comparison.

    Given that a coax is less efficient than one slightly larger motor that can deliver that same lift, it has less moment of inertia. Two motors on two arms is more efficient than a coax. and has a better distribution of lift and torque reaction. In order to yaw the aircraft in a stable manor the...

    DJI Zenmuse gimbal and S800 Spreading Wings preorder

    Sorry I got that wrong. However in an email from Eric Sun received two days ago he says....."In addition, so far we only supports Sony NEX5n/7 with 16 mm lens." in the last paragraph he then says " We don't have Panasonic GH1 support any more." So I guess if you want your GH1 gimbal anytime...

    New version 5.08 and datalink new options and frees upgrades available ....

    I tried 5.08 yesterday and it seems to fly ok but none of the motors start together very strange as it seems that two of them aren't going to start until almost at take off power. This did not happen on the earlier firmware!!!
