    Flexacopter ---The Making Of---

    It's just another alternative material. Titaniun tube is another that I considered at one time.

    CS8 to X8 conversion - Herkules ESC III V3

    I have to say that DJI do produce a good product and I am one who has no problems with it but I would definitely sit on the fence with their new hexa and the Zenmuse. I did try dihedral motor angles a couple of years ago and found the cross axis bias effect was too strong to improve stability...

    Not bad for weight. Boron is what is used for golf club shafts!

    The F1 -535 White Knight revealed

    Not quite ready to reveal that little secret just yet but the Tx input steers the camera as a primary action. This is the second battery bay.

    Flexacopter ---The Making Of---

    Wire dampers are heavy, the trick is to not have vibration at source. Very nicely made but too many heavy steel parts for my liking as a design concept.

    The F1 -535 White Knight revealed

    . Thanks Guys The lay-up of each frame takes about one week to build as it is a composite of end grain soft balsa, carbon, Kevlar, foam board and some alum, hard points. The molds to create it took considerably longer. No steel fasteners anywhere. Weight is the enemy. The plan is to sell a few...

    A few construction shots of one of the F-1's this one has a Naza another has WKM and another has APM-02 which is starting to look very promising as a new contender for top spot.

    Video clip of aerobatic quad

    Seems a little strange to be using a 10 DoF imu in gyro only mode!

    Need STABLE Multicopter Recommendations, 99% look unsuitable 4 filming

    I wouldn't be too quick to blame the camera mount as it has not been set-up correctly. Clearly this guy does not have a clue what he is doing.

    Nex 5N is a throw away camera

    I have found that the Sony policy with Prosumer stuff is to not repair them if it involves more than a simple board change etc.

    Multirotor noob looking for tech advice- heavy lifting

    I am tempted to ask the question of why do you need to lift so much weight when cameras are set to get smaller and lighter. That said your only course to achieve your goal is to use a conventional heli.

    DJI WKM wish list

    It is not DJI shutting down the motor it is the ESC loosing phase sync. The timing is not correct for that motor!

    CineStar 6 + WKM + Maytech = WOW!

    What will not handle what your planning is the switch that comes with the Minsoo PDB!

    Need STABLE Multicopter Recommendations, 99% look unsuitable 4 filming

    Before considering anything you should wait and see what DJI bring to the table. Nothing mentioned so far will even come close.

    Website Warning Pls Read .

    If you want a real heads up on who NOT to deal with then don't buy your camera etc. from Simply Electronics. They exploit the Chinese Law in every respect. They would not get away with it in Europe or the US. After a few weeks you might get you money back through paypal but in the meantime these...

    Why doesn't my gimbal work?

    Gunter you need to be as close to direct drive as you can get. Having said that you will see some notches when in direct drive even with 4900 possible positions over 120 degrees. Say a Hitec HS-M7990TH mag. encoder servo. I would suggest 2:1 drive ratio. Expensive but good and programmable. You...
