The fact is very simple, they are not in the same class. DJI manufacture a product that comes to you ready to use straight out of the box. If you use it correctly it works perfectly. MK on the other hand is a kit of parts that may or may not work as quality control is not an option that needs to...

I wonder if MK contacted the PRS before using the music on the videos. I doubt that they could afford a blanket license. Probably don't even know what it is. The Performing Rights Society could shut em down in the blink of an eye.

Dave As always you are on the ball. It is great to see that you have a complete grasp of what is most needed in multirotor activity. As an observation that is based on facts it is clear that what people most need is help and an up to date review of what's hot and what's not. Are competitions...

I can confirm the same also Tiger motor ESC work fine. The secret to getting stability in wind with WKM is not found in the ESC. I also will keep that a secret.

I was lucky enough to have crash repair my CC boards so I can continue with the development that I started some weeks ago. I have a file somewhere with the set-up that was working well with it mounted on the camera base plate and as a feedforward. more follows. Just waiting for them to arrive.

Dave if that happens, then you need to re-calibrate you ESC.

I have had a similar experience on one occasion with my WKM. It seemed like the reliability of the controller was not bullet proof after all. Well I was wrong of course, as any problem is always likely to be something else. It turned out to be a bad ESC. Although it worked smoothly with a servo...

Nice one juz Is that with a coptercontrol board?

I have about five piclocs that are all laying around waiting to be thrown out as Nothing in the way of software updates has been able to make them usable. Reliability is not George's strong point but he will get there in the end. V3 is the most ambitious one yet and if it delivers then it will...

I have flown a minsoo servo copter and it was good.

Boris The motors are the weak link. All pro full size gimbals use hollow shaft torque motors running at 24 volts plus fiber optic gyros. I have a solution that is using a similar idea but it can only control a light camera such as GoPro etc. . Servos that can utilise 4900 possible positions in...

The AR drone is actually a very capable machine in terms of stability, optic flow etc.

Well there is a lot more to becoming a pro shooter than just that, but it was going to have a 500deg/sec gyro when I last spoke to George which would put it somewhere around the same level of performance as what you have with DJI. Theoretically slightly less. With some post stabilisation you...

Hi Emo I do agree that it got a few people involved at the end, but to do that it veered away from what the contest rules said. Everyone should be able to enter with whatever they want, but as the voting system was such that each contestant was allowed to vote it meant that the people who had...

Yes. But you could use it with a separate Tx such as Graupner/JR jeti box and have telemetry on the camera mount functions as well using a sum signal input. Well worth it if you have 3 axis.

Neat idea, autorotations possible! As a proof of concept I think your best bet would be coptercontrol to keep it as light as possible. The thing to remember is that you need very fast response so don't get too large on the rotor dia. The nice thing about the pitch control is that it should be...

That is probably the only time that luck will be a part of this contest. Full Marks for conspicuous incompetence and having a little help from your friends. It turned out just how I said it would. What a wast of a good prize.

George is a great guy and he will not screw you, He has a very demanding job and has a lot on his plate. Just give him time.

So where does it say that in the contest rules. the fact that someone has one and has proved that they can use it and should if anything gain a point. I think people who cant read the rules or has bent them to suit the fact that they cant fly to the required standard should also be excluded but...

Bart Your doing a fantastic job, I hope you are back to normal real quick. BTW the little Flame Wheel that I got from Geoff at Quadcopters is amazing. get yourself one and have some real fun. I can't stop playing with it.
