Hi guys, I've been noticing my X8 is a bit unsteady in decent winds. I've adjusted gains, changed to smaller props and a few other tweaks. All have helped, but it still wobbles around a fair bit in any sort of stiff breeze. I'm thinking about adding two arms and going to a hex frame. My...

I'm getting shaking when heading into a breeze, which is only noticeable now I have a gimbal and camera on. I haven't tested from a fixed mount point yet, but I think it's the copter rather than the gimbal. I will test more to confirm. But if it is the copter, what do you think the cause is? I...

Some of you may have seen my build thread here - http://www.multirotorforums.com/showthread.php?21386-Vulcan-black-widow-X8-build - where I has having trouble with the Hoverfly Pro. The first one I had seemed to have an unusual hardware issue - Hoverfly sent me a replacement. I could connect to...

Ok, so we've all done stupid things - I'm sure it's not just me. Let's make this a list of all the things they don't tell you in the manuals - and probably really shouldn't have to. I'll kick it off: 1. Don't hold open bottles of thread lock over your motors. (I missed, but it was too...

Let me know if you've got one (that works..!) that you don't want.

Hi guys, My Hoverfly board has come in, and seems to be working well. But now I'm arming it to test, all my motors are beeping and the ESC's aren't giving their arming tone. They're KDE 35 / 4012's. When I plug the ESC's directly into the Rx, they arm correctly. But not when plugged into the...

Hi guys, I've been trying to contact Andrew via the Hexacrafter email, but I'm getting delivery failure notices. Might be a DNS issue? Anyway, let me know how I can get hold of you!

So, I'll start by saying I know there are a couple of threads here covering the AV200, but most of them run out without conclusion. I'm pretty interested in the Av200 because it still seems the lightest way to mount a FF DSLR. 600g or so vs 2 - 2.2kg for a Ghost, Movi, etc. That's a huge...

I've been pulling together components to lift my stills SLR and wide angle lens (14-24 Nikkor). I am trying to get shots from the 14mm as level as possible, and without cropping out the props if possible. Stability is important to get lower shutter speeds and keep ISO down and f-stop up...

My HFP and GPS board arrived this week, and I've spent the weekend wiring everything up and trying to setup the HFP. I cannot get the HFP setup client to connect, and I cannot get the board to arm. What I can do: - I can connect to both the HFP and GPS board in the firmware Update Client, and...

Has anyone here been through the process themselves? It seems fairly straightforward - a lot of paperwork and discipline, but not unexpected. The PPL theory does seem very deep though. Any experiences or insight from those who have done it? My biggest question is about the actual UAV...

Hi all! What a great forum. Like loads of others I suspect, I've gotten here through photography. I've been looking at kite photography for ages , but when starting out on that, found just how accessible multirotors are. I was almost convinced to get a phantom so I'd have everything sorted to...
