    New Y6 shopping list - thoughts?

    Thinking about this: CarbonCore 650 (I already own) WKM (I already own) http://www.foxtechfpv.com/foxtech-motor-w4822-kv390-p-623.html http://www.foxtechfpv.com/dys-40a-opto-esc-v2simonk-firmware-p-1110.html http://www.foxtechfpv.com/1447-carbon-fiber-propeller-cwccw-p-534.html...

    RCShutter trigger for Panasonic GH1, GH2, GH3

    This cost $39 brand new plus $4 airmail to the U.S. I will ship it to you for $30. It has been bench-tested and immediately put back in the plastic wrap. Here's what it does on our GH3: If you are in video mode, and you trigger it, it will start video recording, then put the switch back...

    Mantis hybrid Octo just completed

    OK, so we are slowly getting kinks worked out. AUW is 21 pounds with lipos and camera on. Flight time is just over 12 minutes with 16000 mAh - pushing it to 13 or 13.5 minutes would put us right about at 80%. 12 is fine with me, so we're keeping it safe. Our first video is here...

    Tarot t810 + RcTimer NEX Gimbal+ Sony RX100 = this

    That looks great! Especially for the price you paid. Just a bit of roll jitter - maybe balance is a bit off? Or maybe the settings need a bit of tweaking? Either way, doesn't really matter because post-stab takes it out nicely! Seems like one of those Nano-Tech 8000 mAh 6S lipos might be...

    In over my head? Australia > Brisbane > DJI S800 EVO

    This is the best forum out there. It hasn't gotten ugly like most forums tend to. People here are willing to help and have answered all of my stupidest questions kindly. Take your build one step at a time and ask questions when they arise. TB

    In over my head? Australia > Brisbane > DJI S800 EVO

    You shouldn't sell. The stuff you bought is very intimidating to look at in boxes on the floor. But if you take things one small step at a time and give yourself several months to take your time and put it together right, then you may find it's one of the best things you've done. I...

    Aerial Videos of Golf courses

    Just fly full on FPV for this - doesn't look too hard - it's not like that's a tree-lined fairway. And make sure your failsafe is set up if you go out of radio range. This is extremely important.

    Trying to start semi-pro AP with DJI F550 - Gimbal suggestion needed

    Follow mode is a feature in the AlexMos software - Basically if you yaw your mr quickly to the right, the camera will smoothly pan to the right until it catches up with your yaw. It just smoothes everything nicely.

    Trying to start semi-pro AP with DJI F550 - Gimbal suggestion needed

    Black edition is the one to get. First thing, get rid of the fisheye - I think Rage Cams sells lenses. If you don't have a camera operator, learn how to fly FPV the best you can. Try to get 3-axis stabilization if you can and then use follow mode - most beginner videos have a lot of yaw...

    Aerial Videos of Golf courses

    Par 5s: Stand under a tree halfway down the hole and fly a mix of LOS and FPV. Oh, and don't hit any trees - they seem to be popular on golf courses. Most Par 4s and 3s you can stand behind the tee box and fly mostly LOS to the hole.

    Plug for Rotors and Aerial Media

    This is just to say what a great vendor Rotors and Aerial Media is. No, I'm not affiliated in any way - but sometimes somebody goes over and above the call of duty, and that's rare in this industry. Beresford makes very high quality gimbals and ours is no exception. He was extremely patient...

    Mantis hybrid Octo just completed

    Hmmm...I'll see what I can do. For the time being we are knee deep in getting the kinks worked out of this new gimbal and camera. So close I can taste it...

    RCShutter for GH3?

    Thanks for the help. Unfortunately this is a plug-in type connector - not IR. The GH3 doesn't do IR that I know of.

    RCShutter for GH3?

    Anybody have this up and running? Can't seem to get mine to work. I'm using it exactly the same as I used my old RCShutter for nex5n. I've tried all travel adjusting and sub trims in my radio - still nothing. Are there any camera settings that will prevent it from working? Thanks, TB

    HDMI out on GH3 is killing me

    Ouch! That is some money! Rene, quick side question: How valuable do you find the ois to be on your 12-35? I have an Olympus prime now without ois and I'm wondering if I'm going to regret that. Thanks! Tom

    HDMI out on GH3 is killing me

    Well after many hours I finally have my HDMI board set up so that it transmits a picture successfully from my NEX-5N. Plug it in to the GH3 however, and I get vertical colored stripes with no picture. I have tried every setting for output: 16:9, 4:3, 1080p, 1080i, 720p, etc... Is there a...

    Trying to power this HDMI board - help appreciated

    Problem solved. I soldered it to the board, and it works great. Now I need to figure out these stupid GH3 settings to seal the deal - but that's for another thread. Thanks all!

    Finally finished up our last video of a marina by the Long Island Sound

    Thanks much! Really wanted to do the mast, but we lost that part of the shot because of a pretty hard jitter we didn't see while filming. Thus the reason I just completed a new octo build with 3 axis brushless gimbal.
