The reason for tapping the balance plug was to maintain the ability to monitor the packs voltage via the OSD. I am not sure if anyone actually went through with that technique. I've been running 5s for a long time, no problems. For 6s there was also some talk of adding a heat sink somewhere on...

It's not all China. I had a package mail out on the 28th and it shows clearing San Francisco on the 2nd. It still shows it being in San Fran. Who knows when it will make the last 150 miles to my door.

Yes, this is jitter. If you are getting the oscillation with default settings, I am guessing your camera is not balanced on all axis. Have you balanced the camera with the belts off so that if you tilt the camera it stays put. Sort of like balancing props.

Ahh, missed that. + or X would not fly any differently. Not that I would be aware of. It won't really change forward visibility if that is what you are concerned with. The props end up being very close to each other all the way around. Just make sure the controller your are using supports...

Both have there advantages. I love the X8 for ease of transport and it is VERY stable. I think the Octo is visually more professional looking and gets a ton of comments on the job. I hate the fact that there is a public perception of what a pro rig should look like, but I have specifically...

I think it is interesting the Photohigher uses this to describe their company on the NAB site. "PhotoHigher is a market leader in the design and development of Innovative Unmanned Aerial Systems specializing in precision 3 axes diret drive stabilized camera gimbals.... Funny that they don't...

Funny, I looked at those and even had a HK order ready to be placed, but opted to not take the risk. I just got mine from MontoRc a couple days ago. They match my Avroto and tiger motor prop adapters, so I know they fit. I also worry about the HK versions not balancing properly. Please post...

Ben, are you using a remote trigger for the Gh3? If so, can you suggest one?

The ziptie seems like a good idea. I do this mounted right on the ship. I run up one motor at a time. I check it without tape, then add a piece of tape. I check the vibration, then move the tape 1/8 a turn around the motor. Go until you find the right side to add weight. Switch to a sticky...

I think tiger motors can have some quality control issues. Make a video of the motor the is worse than others and I bet they would cover a warranty replacement. I have 3 duds sitting in the parts box.

I had a 40amp plush fry on me in flight, but I still trust them. Honestly, My old 30amp RCtimer escs are running strong as well. They have never failed and I have had them on and off various ships for 3 years! All with Hoverfly Pro. I am noticing a wobble on my Octo right now and curious what...

I just picked up some midland gxt1000 radios. They have VOX but find it does not activate reliably and the ear/boom mic that come with it really suck. They just don't fit so we have not used them. There are some throat mics available and acoustic mics, but I have not tried any. I need to...

Red rocks park has some of the best rock climbing in the US. If you don't climb, at least grab a camera and go hike. Or hire a guide. I fly there to climb, not gamble.

George, Can you post a link to what ever instructions you have for set-up. Your new website does not have any of the information.

I am curious I you have a jitter on pan like I do when you tilt the camera. While working on the bench with gimbal hangin so pan will move, tilt the camera down without touching the pan input. Does pan move at all? This is the latest problem I can't seem to solve.

Ben, as read in your blog post about battery life being better than the GH2. Did you see Panasonic offers the DC coupler Maybe this couple be hooked up to a lipo. Although the added weight might not be worth it.

George, I am about to remove my RSGS from the AV200 to install the Picloc Pro (v1). Would it be best to re-install the POTs on the tilt and roll servos and mount the Picloc above the roll axis or would it be better to keep the POTs pulled from detecting the axis movement (with pots glued to...

I think this is the best answer!!! We are all just making do with what we have. I don't think any are problem free and all of the manufacturers know it. But, they are all easier to set up and all work better than just trying to mount a gyro to each axis. That is why new firmware and even new...

Great flying and nice test clips. I am a bit blown away by how bad the gh2 looked. Green.... Are you viewing the video from the GH3 through an HDMI converter? Does it record to card what ever setting you are on? Also, does it show the OSD (like if it is recording or not?) Most importantly, what...

I fly with ESC wires all soldered together with a power lead going to connectors. It's not as pretty but works fine.
