Vibration is the number one killer of good aerial footage. We can put that into 5 main areas of disturbance. 1 Imbalance caused by motor torsional vibration . Caused mainly by esc timeing over advanced 2. Motor mechanical imbalance. 3. Prop imbalance (mechanical) 4. Aerodynamic shudder caused...

What you say does not surprise me. I had a duff component that had supposedly been tested, It took ten hours of re-flow work to get that board to work

I do agree with that. I was about to purchase a fully programmed Arducopter FC system from Udrones but they only communicate wth orders and paypal. I think it's a case of pay your money and take a big chance.

Intersting design. A few foam panels and it may also float!

Ken That is a bit of a shame, but onwards and upwards as they say. The next one will be even better. Cumula Granite is not our friend.

Would be interesting to see what it does at different frequencies!

I will make some test on power consuming. After tis work I will make some trust tests (I need to build a measurment bench for that...) I did show a simple but accurate device on thr other site. Regards Denny BTW are you using the ppm converter?

So how does the Axi 2814/22 compare for performance against the MK3538. I like the idea of three brgs. as I just had a bearing give up on one of my 3538's

Stabilisation not too bad Panasonic is good camera!

Ken Is that hoverfly Pro Quad working right these days?

I know Portsmouth well, I used to tow banners all around the place with my old Wilga. Out of Goodwood and Shoreham. That was seven years ago and I haven't been back since. Sometimes miss the place. But the weather here in Cyprus is a little warmer. I can fly without gloves for a start.

It's looking good Bart, very good!

Ken I did a little testing of props this week and found some interesting things. The 14x4.7 does produce the best lift efficiency on the MK3538 motor on a test rig. BUT it does make the model very sensitive in throttle response. I did my tests on a small Minsoo Kim Quad with the 3538's fitted...

This is an area where there are many misconceptions about what is required to keep a camera steady in the air. The level at which people will go to achieving perfection is a personal one and for most of us the commitment has to be balanced with that which is affordable and practical. It is also...

Welcome aboard Crash Nice to see you found us. Your experience is much appreciated. Denny

Ken I have been working towards finding the right motor combination for a heavy lift machine. My latest Flying Camera Mount design uses only four MK 3538's turning 14x4.7's cut down to 13" thus far I am not convinced that I need a hexa. at this payload. The model fly's far better when the...

What about endurance, Batteries etc.

Looks like a neat job done there. Whats the all up weight?

I miss the comments from Crash on the other site, Is he really busy or did they piss him off?

I know where you guys are coming from. I did have a lot of problems with MK and felt that I was doing a disservice to the site owner by venting over my disgust at some of the stuff I paid good money for.
