Hoping someone can tell me what kind of gimbal this is. I got this gimbal with no instruction and wanted to make sure I hook it up correct. Hoping someone knows what kind of gimbal it is so I can find manuel or could tell me how to hook it up so I don't BLOW it up ;-) I think it might be a...

We shoot alot of pretty cool stuff, but yesterday were out on a shoot and the location was a $20 million dollar house that was pretty impressive. 2 of my houses would fit in the 3,600 sq ft master bedroom. We used our Aerodro Chopper made by Bart. Decided to grab a few clips from some recent...

Normally I run 4S but after talking to Bart and Sleepy C thought i'd try to use some my 6S packs that I used on my old helicopters on the multicopters. Hooked up some new Turnigy Multistar ESC and Motors that can run 6S on a quad with a Naza FC so I could try 6S. This morning took it out put...

Just finished rebuilding my little X8 hoverfly that made a hard landing a few weeks ago. This machine quickly became the favorite of my fleet in a short time. Over the Christmas holidays I decided to take on my first build with 8 motors after buying a hoverfly pro board. Was pretty...

Does HF fc need to sitting still when plugged into battery or armed? Curious if the hoverfly was moving like on a boat when I plugged it in and then armed it would it cause it to fly different?

Just wondering if anyone has an opinion about how important balance is on a mutlicopter? I know on a model airplane its very important to have the balance correct in order to make the plane fly right. I have done some tests making the multicopter nose heavy or putting the weight to the back...

Last night I was out and a buddy called about 1030 to tell me there was a news show discussing MultiCopters. Wondered if anyone saw it and could tell me which show it was?

Just noticed the new Member Map Tab. Its pretty cool. I had no idea there were so many members in Europe. Wonder what the Spiders are. I see a spider out in the middle of some small island in the Pacific. I did not see a member in New Zealand, but I thought I had read some post from members...

Just wondered if anyone has been using APC slow fly props. If so what size and what are your opinions? On my WooKong I started with the regular cheap black slowfly props while I was getting bugs worked out. Only cost me about a $1.50 when I broke props.:dejection: I like these props but have...

I'm thinking about getting some gear for my quad so I can hang out a camera mount. Wonder if anyone has any recommendations are might be familiar with this one below.

Just got an email that the GoPro hear 2 is out there now. Looks pretty cool with some updates like better glass, faster image processor, and bigger 11 mega pixel sensor. http://gopro.com/hd-hero2-cameras/

HI guys got all my stuff mounted and starting to test. Bare with me this is my first build and i’m not familiar with alot of the terms so I might have something obvious going on here. When I try to lift off it rolls hard to the right and I’m not sure why. I’ll post my set up thanks for your...

I’m trying to hook up my WooKong on my Quad to my lap top in my shop. I downloaded the assistant software and I only get a helicopter configuration. Is Wookong that smart that it knows I have 5 helicopters on the other side of the wall from my shop that it only wants to give me Heli...

Captured this image yesterday while out shooting.:apathy::apathy::apathy::apathy::dread:

Seems like the more I read the more I get confused on which platform to go with. I was really close to buying the DJI system but had just a few questions that I thought the DJI guys could answer. So I tried emailing Robert, but got no response. Then I tried emailing the email address on the...

Hi Guys.. on a small vacation with my lovely wife! I'm patting myself on the back right now because I managed to sneak a quad into the suitcase with out my wife noticing it. Hope to make a few photos from the trip to post. Here is our hotel just a few minutes ago. Pretty windy here on the...

Curious to get some opinions from you guys:) using the multicopters for a while now as to what platform you would prefer on a windy day Multicopter VS Helicopter for shooting photos! ?:confused: Right now my multicopter experience is limited to low end machines like a guai 330 and some homemade...

T2I vs T3I:cool: Just sold my old canon rebel xt and thinking to replace it with something newer that will shoot video. My hope is in the future to possible use it for some aerial work once I get a reliable platform that will lift this size camera. My first thought was to just go and get the...

:):) Just got in my new heavy lift motors for my next project and wondered if anyone can suggest a good solid-strong frame for my motors. Going to solder the speed controls now and want to wish everyone a happy 4th of July!

Hope everyone had a great Easter! One of my control line combat buddies came down for the weekend and we worked on a homemade quad most of the frame is made from stuff you can get from home depot. Here are a few photos. I put a camera on it today and shot some video in the back yard that was...
