If you are looking for a DJI alternative then this is a good place to start, Tarot X8 Octo copter with retractable landing gear, and new designed DJI s1000/EVO folding propellers. I am looking to sell it mainly for the simple reason I like building copters and I am thinking of putting together...

Yes its confusing the frame name of Tarots new line of frames start with an "X" (x4, x6, x8). I have not built a new frame in a while but here it is. As when I started building tarot products a few years ago, like them this one is also no disappointment. It's carbon fiber, aluminum arms -...

I am in the midst of putting together a new Tarot x8 (frame name its really a octo)m super nice frame. The frame comes with Tarot electric retractable landing gear. I have not build any copters with retracts before, but I have seen videos showing people having issues when they tie thethe landing...

Hey everyone I thought i would share this. (note I only have done this on my RX100 iii - but understanding how a camera trigger system works this will work with many other models). I have been using my RX100 original for a few years not and as we have seen from other the camera does a real...

I recently have added some weight to my copter and starting to find my flight time has been cut down some. For the last few years I have been going by the general rules that you do not want to drain your battery capacity down below 80% and not to let you voltage per cell go below 3.5. When I...

I am in the middle of testing out a larger brushless gimbal using a alex moss 8bit controller, to hold a mark3 5d and have a question I am tying to figure out. In a hand hold situation the unit works great with no issues at all and once I have it in the air it also works pretty well...

First flight went well, i just wanted to see how the video would look while just getting it off the ground for 5 min, I am pretty satisfied with the results so far.

I just purchased a set of the new tiger ESC's T35A 600mhz, so as they came there is not much documentation with them, but they do say that there is not programming needed for them. My question do you still need to set it to your throttle curve? I imagine yes, if that is so, then is it like...

So I have a situation when I was starting up my copter the other day I noticed one of the motors took a little longer to get going then the others, little longer is like a second, or less, and when they all initiated the one motor I noticed looked like it was out of synch for the small amount of...

For me I wanted to start this post to hear what people think of maxamps batteries. For me it is one of buyer beware and I will explain why. In my case is a fairly straight forward situation, I purchased a maxamps 10,900 (6s)mha last June for my heavy lift Octo. Over the past year the battery...

I thought this was fun to see. I am sure DJI, Amazon, and others may fear the technology.

http://www.fastcompany.com/3023139/tech-forecast/crashing-drones-less-likely-as-quadrocopters-learn-to-fly-damaged For the longest time I have been on the theory that what I would like to see if you lost an engine in flight a type of firmware that could detect it and then off set the opposing...

I will start, to date I have been pretty skeptical on the stuff I buy from RCTimer just in general, it being China, Shipping, if you have a problem getting it taking care of, cheaper cost, etc... A few months ago I purchased thier NEX gimbal and knowing all i listed above I was worried about...

In the past when I first got my RX100 I posted some of my opinions on the camera. Overall the camera is not the friendliest for multi rotor purposes, one being never mind for multirotor use, who would put the HDMI output on the bottom of the camera right next to the mounting screw (useless on...

IrisAerial posted a question about losing calibration in the general comment section. His question was directed about losing calibration if a copter sits for some time. It kinda hit a cord with me and I am trying to figure out what might be going on in my situation. I have two copters both on...

So I recently decided to change out my Tiger 3515 400KV with Tiger 4012 340KV motors, I did this mainly I was not happy with the results of the bearing set I had in my 3515. Out of the 6 motors I originally purchased I had one mysteriously burn out, and 3 other motors had bearings start...

6 Tiger 3515 mt 400kv motors for sale, full set for $250.00. All motors are good 5 of them are tight and have no issues. The 6th is fine and I am using it. Although there is nothing really wrong with it and I fly the copter I can feel a littlest play in the motors itself, its been like this for...

Originally I posted this up on the "show us what you filmed" section but its not really about what was filmed. It is more about the concept of the result with the sony nightshot being activated in a dark time of night. How well it worked in letting people see so it could stir up thought for...

Hey guys, I have been working on finding a decent solution where I can just quickly plug in my copter and fly. I believe I am getting pretty close to this solution, but the gimbal has been something I have been trying to figure out at an economical price. I bought the RCTimer Gimbal for about...

Like Bart I was just thinking I would post this, Over the two and a half years I have been building these copter, one thing I have not seen much mentioned about, is corrosion. I think its a subject worth a post mainly because it happens and I think it happen more then we know, or people...
