    DJI f550 motor question - good, bad, indifferent???

    For stability I would use the MT2216 with 8x4 props (4s) I would also try the 330 arms if they are shorter.

    RC Timer

    How long before we see a nock-off S800.... Makes you wonder who actually makes the frames for DJI. those replicas look awfully similar. As always it's dog eat dog out there and anything goes. Good for us though. Goodluckbuy are to be avoided in my experience. They don't reply to ANY defective...

    DJI Zenmuse gimbal and S800 Spreading Wings preorder

    I would try it as it comes before doing anything, these guys know how to design electronics and integrate all of their components better than we can. it's a CAN bus system.

    DJI S800 unbox

    If your likely to crash it don't buy it. The cost of the camera is going to be expensive also. It's a high end product for those who are in the business of high end filming. Plenty of cheaper stuff for the hobbyist who just want to have some fun. There are a lot of good pro aerial shooters out...

    Independent Rotor Movement - Gun Ship

    I think it's mostly split screen with the model tethered out of shot, It certainly looks like it is hanging there and also being pulled. . When it passes through the window that can be done with an optical illusion i.e. a gap for the tether wires. The rest I think is Mocha.

    DJI Zenmuse gimbal and S800 Spreading Wings preorder

    I think that chopping up pieces of carbon tube and lashing it together with dozens of steel nuts, bolts and brackets is fine for building a prototype but if you want to compete with these guys then you may need a little more design technology and some big investment. They will surely go from...

    You can take the landing gear apart quite easily and repack it.

    DJI Zenmuse gimbal and S800 Spreading Wings preorder

    From an engineering point of view lets be honest. Nothing comes close. If it performs like it should then I would not want be one trying trying to compete in that market place. For what you get for your money it's cheap. The only thing that could be better from an endurance and high wind point...

    Independent Rotor Movement - Gun Ship

    I think the most obvious advantage is that it does not rely on slowing down motors to obtain a yaw function and it can assume nose down or left /right without moving from it's hover position, I think it is based on an actual military device. Mechanically doable but I would like to have that code...

    Totaled new F450

    That looks to me like bad vibration. All thats wrong with it is a bent motor shaft.

    Naza all of the sudden flipping over. firmware?

    How can you plug it in without getting some movement. This is very sensitive. This is very important the first time you try it. My Naza sits perfectly level every time I switch it on. When it lifts off it rises perfectly. A damaged prop will cause a yaw, out of balance will cause an initial...

    Lucky Escape

    I was pondering a heart stopping moment when testing some high level fast descents and accidentally came back below 10% throttle and all four motors stopped. It did recover perfectly when I opened the throttle. Forgot to set the stick combination disarm. This guy had a much more exciting time....

    Could come in handy one day if you get it all wrong.

    Video editing software

    Final Cut Pro (Mac.)and Adobe Premier plus After Effects (PC) are the industry standards in general use but there are now many cheap or ever free programs that can do simple edits. Some of which come bundled with the camera.

    Show us what you shot.

    More ruins, Salamis-TRNC 400 ASA, high contrast subject shot into the shadows yet full color space range. Used raw plus individual channel compression to avoid clipping. Anyone who wants to know the PS technique for this process working in RGB or CMYK send PM. And why you might need to...

    Naza all of the sudden flipping over. firmware?

    Do you have a switch or just plug-in the battery? A switch is required IMHO as it should be close to level when you switch on.

    C.C.W motors are hot than C.W motors

    You definitely have something wrong with the thrust. A bad prop. or a bad motor.

    Commercial aerial photography in UK

    Dave You are doing this the right way. If you have an Ops. manual that has been approved then you can sell that on to someone else. I did this many times with banner towing manuals once they had been approved. The CAA are like solicitors in that they want to give you the run around, it's how...
