    New Pricing announced on Freefly Movi gimbals

    The early adopters have been getting emails about buying an M15 at half price, it's not an upgrade. They'd have 2 gimbals. Everyone else who purchased after preorder, and prior to the price drop are out in the cold.

    Airline travel with LiPo stories?

    More information about what you're actually planning to travel with would help others chime in. I personally haven't had any issues traveling with lipo's within the conus. I fly with 12 6s5000's, 6 4s1500's, and 12 3s2200's. I have pictures of the equipment they power that quickly answer...

    Do you have a windows machine available? I run mac and windows, and for some reason the mac version doesn't give an option to calibrate the x1 channel.

    What's the proper way to charge a 9000 mah battery

    You're not actually doing anything wrong. The imax B6 is only capable of delivering 5 amps. You're at it's limit. If you're wanting to be able to charge at 1c, or even more, then you'll need to invest in a new charger. I've used many over the last 10 years, but my favorites are the icharger...

    Hoverfly Something Big?

    I find it very difficult to believe that they are so busy being innovative that they don't have time to drop a quick note on the forum. They once had a regular presence here, and I fear that they still read the forums from time to time, but don't have anything to say. There was talk about gps...

    Hoverfly Something BIG coming soon!

    I haven't had any undesired effects with the Hoverfly GPS. The position hold on mine keeps it inside of about a 6 foot (2m) circle, rth has worked as advertised during testing, and it flies the same in manual as it did before. If hoverfly can tighten up the position hold, and altitude hold it...

    Hoverfly Something BIG coming soon!

    I agree mostly. Its nice to know what is being developed, but with clear projections that are met. It can prevent buying current tech that is going to be obsolete in the near future. I was excited about the new GPS features that were due to be released months ago, but the silence wasn't broken...

    Trying to power this HDMI board - help appreciated

    The easiest method would be to power it through the usb port. You can cut and strip a cable. If the cable doesn't have the traditional red and black for ground you'll need to use a multimeter to get the correct wires and polarity. Every usb I've cut has had red +, black -for what it's worth...

    Anyone buy a PC laptop lately?

    Another Mac user here. I run vmware fusion and all of my windows based rc programs without any issues. Funny how my Mac runs windows better virtually than most pc laptops. A custom built desktop running windows is the best way for video editing though.

    They just keep making camera's smaller and smaller...

    Smartphone and professional photos shouldn't be used in the same sentence. The future of aerial video is smaller and lighter, but that looks and sounds like a consumer market only. Smartphones have caused huge drops in the consumer stills camera market, and this is a shot at breaking back into it.

    Hoverfly What happened with my Hoverfly Pro during the night??? Hexed??

    It's strange that it would happen all of a sudden. How many flights do you have logged on the airframe before being "hexed"? Just trying to determine if it's a possible mechanical problem, or electronic problem. If nothing changed in the programming recently, I can't see it being a setting problem.

    Hoverfly What happened with my Hoverfly Pro during the night??? Hexed??

    Check both in the software and the real time monitoring screen of your transmitter on the bench. Check to see if the software is reading the signals from the transmitter incorrectly, or if the transmitter is sending an incorrect signal. Is this a new build? What motor prop and weight is the bird?

    Hoverfly Crickets...

    I specifically asked ben about the Blade 350 QX and he said that wasn't it... All he would say is that it was a private sector client that needed higher function gps, but exactly who it was would not be known. Sounds like a sub contract, of a govt contractor type deal possibly. Either way I get...

    Hoverfly Crickets...

    Obviously I'm not Ben, but having spoken with him over the last couple days they are getting close to the release. He mentioned that the client they are working with on the GPS functionality has a quickly approaching deadline. Is your GPS not functioning properly?

    Hoverfly HF GIMBAL, Receiver Configuration question

    If i remember correctly, the current angle allows you to set a maximum and minimum angle deflection. It's basically end points/atvs but set in degrees for the second operators controls. The current speed adjust how quickly the rc input is allowed to move the camera. It's just adjusting the...

    Hoverfly GPS Accuracy

    I was considering one simply because of how solid the position hold is supposed to be. I sent team blacksheep an email and got this in response. That was enough for me to say no thanks. I'll stick with hoverfly and hope that future updates will increase the positional accuracy. I fly almost...

    Hoverfly GPS Accuracy

    I've heard both ends of the spectrum with the naza. Some just sit there locked and don't move, but then some fly away to crash or never been seen again.

    Hoverfly please help!

    Were you lucky enough to have 2 clockwise and 2 counter clockwise props? If not then it won't be flyable.

    Hoverfly GPS Accuracy

    Definitely some great information about current systems in place. I wonder what they are creating that can miniaturize the current tech. It's possible that they have devised a method to bring that type of accuracy where others have been unable to yet. I don't know that it's probable, but it is...
