Today I received my Phantom 3 and did my first flights. A bit about myself, I fly RC helicopters for years. I am a reasonable 3D pilot with thousands of flights. My wife is a pro photographer, so using drones for taking pictures became kind of an obvious common interest. But of course, my RC...

Has anybody tried those on a S900/S1000? http://zealblades.com/shop/product_info.php?cPath=5&products_id=94

We are about to go to Australia, 3 weeks road trip. I am taking a F550 with a zenmuse & gopro. Nothing special (except the huge pelican case and extra luggage fee I am paying..). Anything I need to know flying drones in Australia? Nothing urban intended / only landscapes / coastal etc. Many thanks!

I did a bit of load testing before mounting the Zenmuse and the GH4...(Preciou$ load). The weight is about exactly the same weight as the Zenmuse and the Gh4. I get 15mins (flying not hovering) with a 16000mah lipo. I have to say the S900 package from opening the box to maiden flight is pretty...

I build a F450 X8 to test / validate the A2. If the A2 behaves - this would then end up on this frame: http://www.multirotorforums.com/showthread.php?21228-Gryphon-GD-X8-1200-build Maiden flight tomorrow - this thing should skyrocket with 8 motors and no payload :-)

So the package finally arrived. GD X8 with Z shaped booms, X motor upgrade, 1200mm U7 420 motors / 19" props Hobbywing Platinum pro 60A ESCs Gryphon powerboard/BEC Flight controller: TBD, despite A2 picture...I am still not sure I want to trust this frame with this one....

The proof that drone 'crashes' are becoming a general public topic: This is a commercial for a Swiss insurance company. No need to understand French. Self explanatory :-) https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Cp-m4CByvWk

Now this board has 4 active recents threads with A2 related crashed. It is deeply troubling me. I just ordered one to mount on a Gryphon X8 configuration. I am so scared of a A2 crash that I am even building a hybrid F450 in X8 configuration to test the A2. But quite frankly this is enough, I...

Now you would think that hobbyist drones would not be government's priority in a country with rampant corruption, total lack of infrastructure and where most of the population is extremely poor. But no, you would be wrong. No need to look up the exchange rate for the fine. It's here for you...

I look for a gimbal - PHOTO only, i.e. only need tilt+pan but no stabilization, able to carry DSLR and M43 systems. Any good recommendation ?

I am currently buiding a 2 man setup. I have been flying a 12FG for 4 years so I thought I could 'upgrade' to a 14SG and use my 12FG for the camera operation. I am quite disappointed a the quality of the 14SG. The screen is smaller with less pixels/info, the gimbals are better on the 12 and the...

Ok I was on my second flight getting some footage of Lobo rice terraces in the Philippines. All of a sudden my F550 just went crazy. I could not stabilize and it went down full speed at 45 degree angle. It hit a knee deep mud pool which absorbed most of the impact. Visually only the zenmuse...
