    Multi rotor camera mounts, the good, the bad, and the ugly

    I came across a new anti vibration material that beats everything that I have tried before. I am not sure what it is called yet but it turned up as packing material in a box sent to me by Minsoo Kim. It is the stuff that he uses on his new mini machine for the rotor guards etc. I believe it was...

    Your right. as I can't say anything nice about the ones that I have seen, I won't comment, but I do hope that I can make the time to get a video up soon that shows what can be done with the technology that we have today. As with most cutting edge stuff it is the last 1% that takes 99% of the...

The AS 350 which you need to get it in the air costs 2K per hr. So anyone who gets this alternative technology up and running to that standard could make a...

Full size technology reveals that it requires two systems, an inner and an outer axis. The outer one works with gyros...

    Hi, I'm Mike (Buzzed) from Ohio

    Hi, I'm Denny from Cyprus, just crept in with a little help from Bart. I guess I'm an old timer aerial cameraman who loves to invent things. The Mikrokopter US site helped me get through a steep learning curve with these things and I am now happy making my own craft which gives me a...
