Loved it! Great work! Can't wait to see more. What was the impetus for this project?

Check the hdmi out on a tv first.

Going to 45c will probably not help. You need to spend a lot more money to meet your requirements. And you probably have many many more hours of reading to do on these forums before you build it. You need better low kv motors, much bigger props, bigger batteries at 6s, bigger escs, and a...

Well I finally got sick of the Mantis not fitting in the trunk of my Cadillac even though it fits in my wife's Scion xA. Also I've been jealous of the coaxial world for awhile now. So I decided to turn our bird into an X8. We are using all four of the Mantis arms and discarding the straight...

Most say that you lose efficiency with coaxial, but your weight is lower with 4 fewer arms, so that definitely helps to offset.

Tppacks and rotors and aerial media make excellent gimbals.

We could do that. It would just be nice not to have to worry about setting focus at all.

You've mentioned that you have an fpv setup. The usual way to do this is to fly it, look at your fpv screen to frame it, then shoot away. I've never seen the need to have a compass on telemetry. Hope this answers your question.

The focus ring doesn't have an end point. It just keeps turning.

What do you mean that you want to set certain altitudes and compass direction during flight? Telemetry can tell you many things - the most useful by far is the voltage of your lipo(s). It can also give you altitude, distance from home, direction to home, airspeed, among other things. Once you...

What do you guys do for focus on this lens? Do you just put it on auto and forget it? I generally try to run infinity, but the 12-35 doesn't have a notch for infinity, meaning we would have to find it manually for every flight - time consuming and need to be careful not to nudge it at all...

S800 with Zenmuse is a decent system if you don't have any building experience. If you're new to the subject then you have a lot of research to do. Start by reading all of the stickies you can. While you're doing that learn how to fly a Blade MQX like it's a part of your body. There are...

FPV flying and flying above 400 feet are strictly illegal according to the FAA. (circular from 1981) Flying over people or traffic is frowned upon (sometimes quite vigorously) by people on these forums who don't want bad publicity for crashing quads hurting people.

I thought DJI had tried to do that in one of their later firmwares - I think it's supposed to switch to atti automatically if something seems fishy in gps. I also think there were many reported crashes that seemed to revolve around this feature. 5.16 for me and quite possibly a HFP in the near...

I've been flying WKM v2 5.16 for maybe 30-40 flights without a hitch. Love 5.16.

Where do you buy these things from?

Thanks Beresford! Helpful indeed. Looking at these : http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__26957__Turnigy_Multistar_4822_390Kv_22Pole_Multi_Rotor_Outrunner.html I really need to keep costs down on this one, but still want to lift the gh3.

Thanks much!

Can't do osd because I don't have a slipring gimbal - cords would get twisted.

Hey Beresford! The chart says it draws 19.1 amps at 6s with 14*4.7 prop at 100% throttle. Does the amp draw change dramatically when the lipo is 75% depleted? Thanks, tb Also, I'd like to talk to you about your simonk 40a escs. I'll be starting a y6 pretty soon.
