I was looking for some footage from a servo-based camera gimbal (it's complicated, don't ask) and remember that Copterkids used to fly the old PhotoshipOne gimbals on helis back in the day, so I checked that out. While watching this video: it struck me, and I commented "some of the scenes...

Anybody use them? I'm looking to try these in professional application. Is the smart circuitry in parallel with the main power feeds? Or does the power run through a current sense board or similar? I think it doesn't in these. I'm just trying to figure out if there is something in them to...

I'm just about to the point of attempting percussive maintenance on my AlexMos 32 bit controller and gimbal. I have been trying to get this thing working on and off for 2 years. It's always the same thing. Accel calibration is done, multi temp, etc. It's balanced as well as I can given the...

Still watching backlog of Dakar Rally footage, so no spoilers please! :) This race has always featured tons of full-scale helicopter chase-cam footage, but this year I noticed a lot of really close aerial footage which were obviously done with by drone. It looks really good, and I'm impressed...

Hi guys, I was recently trying to help somebody tune a Carbon Cortex with a Pixhawk on it, equiped with... 16" T-motor props and I'm not sure which motors (assume appropriate). It had T-motor ESC's, I think maybe 40A? I had more difficulty tuning this machine than ever before, Arducopter...

I just finished building a Tarot 650 quad frame, and I decided to try the folding DJI 15" props. So far the machine flies quite well, but I can't get rid of the vibrations. It's bad. Worst I've ever seen. Worse than any heli I have. I've tried different amounts of tightness. No luck. I've...

Guys, not sure if you've seen this yet, but this story is just breaking today: http://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/drone-flight-near-vancouver-airport-attracts-transport-canada-rcmp-attention-1.1788494 I'd like to help the authorities track this guy down. My initial impression is that to get that...

Just throwing this out there as a courtesy to the folks on this forum who might not otherwise see it. I started flying an octocopter with APM2.5 a few weeks ago, and discovered that it has a fairly significant performance issue. We have long been concerned about the processor loading on the...

Finally have something flying and working well. I took it for it's first real test on Sunday, and this is what I got: When I looked at the footage, I was pretty happy with that. There's a tiny bit of jitter which I think is simply AlexMos tuning. And the horizon is horribly out of level...

Shot this over the weekend. Pretty good demo of the capability of Arducopter on a helicopter. I'm not happy with the tail control shown, but that is partially due to a bad setting, and partially because it's a 450. And of course, all of this works on multirotors too, and their performance can...

This past weekend in Colorado, Sparkfun hosted an Autonomous Vehicle Competition. Arducopter controlled quads completely dominated the event, sweeping the top 5 positions. I did some runs with my Arducopter 450 heli, but was not competitive against the quads. Basically, the event required a...
