I think Bart started a good thread about batteries that you should check out. If I remember correctly there was a lot of discussion about proper charging, internal resistance and testing etc.. Giving online advice about how to make a MR more stable is one thing, giving advice regarding battery...

There are other variables that effect stability other than prop size. What motors are you using? Generally changing from 10" to 11" props won't have that big of a difference, however depending on the KV of your motors, sometimes its necessary with higher 770+KV motors to reduce the voltage by...

The trouble for hobbyists is the definition of "Aircraft" now includes "model aircraft" and it spells out the applicability of this definition. So this means that with respect to careless operation model aircraft are regulated under part 91, which in part states that you can't fly within 500ft...

What are your gains set to in the GUI and what are the gains on your TX set to in the flight that it oscillated? All of these are different so I'm only pointing this out as an example of how I deal with this. On my Y6: KDE 475KV motors, 15" props, 6S with an AUW ~14lbs, it hovers at about...

It is bad, but not in the way that article made it out to be. There was absolutely no mention of whether flying a drone commercially is legal, the entire appeal was in regards to the definition of the term "Aircraft" and whether the drone Pirker was flying fell into that definition, which the...

The entire appeal rested on the definition of "aircraft" and whether Pirker violated the all encompassing catchall for the FAA "safety" of others. There are a couple of interesting issues with this, now the judge has to determine if any of the flight was conduct in an unsafe way, they provided...

Very nice, looks a little too cold for me. I have to believe when its that cold it makes a lot of things harder to do. Is there a lot of film production in your area or are you traveling quite a bit?

It depends on the codec you choose to render with.

You can use After Effects to remove the fisheye. It works very well.

Yeah, I was going to post that link, Eric nailed it. 14,000 feet, that's nothing...

This forum is generally thought of as a more professional hangout, I'd like to say it has less drama than other hobby oriented forums but maybe its just different drama. There are quite a few in this forum trying to do similar work here in the States [hence the drama] but a lot of great...

Eric, that is awesome! What kind of MR, Camera, gimbal etc.? Kind of has an FS700 look to it but I can't imagine you can fly that big a camera at that altitude.. How did you get all your equipment in place to shoot this? That alone must be a huge task. That's some great footage, really...

Welcome! Where are you located? What kind of specialty equipment do you sell? I was going to be a smart a$$ and tell you to not do it, but considering you've already been doing this for a year, congratulations on making it this far and if Multirotors are a part of your success this forum is a...

When did the FAA become the regulatory body for privacy issues? What gives the FAA the right to define privacy and what mechanism do they have to enforce their version of privacy?

This was not a "Fox New Production," it was a local fox affiliate production that was done pretty well. The issue isn't whether drones are going to be regulated, its how and who gets to do the regulation and for what reasons particular regulations get implemented. What influence does an...

Is this BGC still being developed?

here's what I don't understand, the Lightbridge streams all of the video and telemetry over 2.4Ghz and primary flight control over 5.8Ghz, Everyone else does the opposite, the video doesn't look as good streaming over 5.8, a lot of breakups and not as much distance but the primary flight control...

I think your done practicing with that setup... Your flying is fine, there were a few shots where you were flying straight but your yaw was a bit off so it felt like you were flying a little sideways, but overall this looked really well done. Any criticism I have would be more about the...

I don't understand why you think I need to include the lightbridge in the estimate if its something I don't need to shoot aerial video with a GoPro. I think some of the functionality that lightbridge provides could have value if I were trying to fly a larger camera with better articulated...

Doesnt the Phantom come with a Tx? Even if it doesn't a Tx would be approximately $300-$500, and why do I need light ridge to shoot with a GoPro?
