The vast majority of camera imu's that are sold for model use are compromised by the fact that almost all of the commercially available camera mounts were created without any thought as to how they would be stabilized or how they would manage the inertial loads. That aspect was simply left to...

You can only track a fixed point or a moving point with additional components, GPS, optic flow etc. imu stabilisation works by correcting the disturbance relative to it's own fixed point in space.

Dave It is hackable under the button. I love my little TZ10

Sorry to see all this Ken. Hope you can retrieve some crash investigation info to set your mind at rest. Nothing is worse than not knowing what happened. I think you have to start working backwards. Motors on test stand with same esc and prop size and run some hard testing runs. I did have a...

Jes I am not sure if I want to use them as FC's but I will get around to trying them in my new machine which I will test with a whole bunch of different stuff. What I would really like from the basic CC board is for it to work better than the camera outputs from the Naza or M. My last tests that...

Mat That's where the smart money is. Doubt that the retailers would want to hear this, OKTO's are big business. The bigger, the more money they make. Weight is the enemy. Weight ratio to size is where it is at. IMHO

Having gone full circle from massive Oktos with many confs. that could lift more than 20 kilos. the Penny finally dropped and MR's do have a place. For me they have to be small and transportable. float on water and have full prop. protection. Have same stability in the wind as in the calm. And...

Try flying a microlite everything is back to front even the rudder/steering.

One does have to ask the question of Why. A conventional helli 800 size electric. wins hands down on efficiency. and cost. 40 min. flight easily achieved with a 5D. plus a good camera mount, telemetry etc. The proven heavy lift workhorses of the industry More evolution in the design and...

Definitely not good for torsional rigidity. and heavy.

The balanced beam has been done to death here. It is ok as an isolation device but it needs either mechanical (Heavy ) stabilizer as well or a decent IMU.to steer it. Weight saving is the route to go I think. My own IMU is unbelievable as a inner axis stabilizer but it weighs as much as the...

Timecop I saw your review on RC U and was wondering if you have had any problems with the M I have had generally good experience with mine but during some testing of ESC's I had a motor quit phasing in mid air due to wrong timing. Net result was a damaged GPS. A new one is 300 usd which seems...

I would like to see a gps go-to way point function with a definable distance nose in circle mode. That would also mean having a care free mode also. Plus a camera Yaw output to fine tune the heading. As that would need to be an add on module then why not make the separate IMU with higher...

They don't take those lights down for another two weeks.

It does have it but the 5D and 7D has a different one that can use the wireless controller.

So before the decorations come down lets give it a Xmas theme as well. Reflections, xmas and from the air all in one shot.

Eric Sun at DJI informs me that a dedicated mount will be available in a couple of months and worth waiting for!!! My GPS has died following a hard nock. I think 300 usd is unreasonable for a replacement. Knowing what the components cost!

Yes you can hack the cable to find the Yellow Vid out wire and the ground outer. Sadly it does not have the shutter release socket that the other canons have.

Dave Thanks for that, Still finding my way with it. Love it!

Hi Dave I had a screen failure on my Futaba MZ14 for the second time in 4 years so whilst away for service I made a visit to my local model shop and came away with a nice little DX-8. Special deal with 2 rx. and telemetry. Nice to have battery level on screen at all times. But when I bind the...
