    CNC for Hire (FREE) Almost

    Good ventilation and a decent shop vac and filter should be sufficient provided your dust foot is efficient. It will kill bearings so housekeeping is very important. Carbon acts like all metals and can't be cut with a CO2 laser anyway. Presumably it could be with yag laser though. A rare beast...

    CNC for Hire (FREE) Almost

    Best of luck Al, I'm a CNC and laser guy myself. Perhaps we can help each other. Haven't cut fiber yet, I hear it tears up bits worse than Chinese Plywood.

    PC or Mac?

    I'm building a high end video machine and I'm going to install iOS on it. It will be a bit of work, but 3K versus 7K$ is more appealing. Ill post my results. A friend always says, Linux is for servers, Mac is for graphics, and Windows is for solitaire :)

    Are DJI Prices Universal?

    Well I'll say this, I have a friend flying an S800 and a gh2 and he has produced one of the best pieces of footage I've seen on here. Maybe he just got very lucky but there's a lot of good footage on the show and tell from the same set up. Still if a dealer tells you that it's a little...

    Are DJI Prices Universal?

    Forgot about Europe. Us Americans are so self focused ;). So there's your answer, if your east of the pond, you're in luck.

    Are DJI Prices Universal?

    Generally the only way you'll get one cheaper is to buy it from someone on the classifieds. The prices are typically identical from the official outlets.

    The bestest video gear...

    We had iftron vitennas on the RX and an iftron whip on the tx. It was an immersion diversity RX though. Lots of good points from everyone, thanks. You're right about going with what works so if anyone has the magic formula please share. What we want is a solid link with probably no more that 500...

    The bestest video gear...

    We filmed with a variety of iftron, immersion and others this weekend and got good and bad results, choppy/lost down link view in the monitor, occasional washout etc etc. what is the ideal combination of gear in the mid to upper price range that will provide a good solid link to observe the...

    best setting for a go pro 3

    I think it may be your computer too. I'm having the same problem which is prompting to get a faster one as Irish Aerial suggests ;) one thing Ive noticed too. I was taking still shots of my house for giggles and I was at about 70-80 feet. That's way too high for detail with a GP3. If you're...

    Video editing computer station.

    Probably asked a hundred times but technology advances so hope you don't mind. I want to edit still and moving shots that will be taken with a multi rotor, a handheld gimbal and Lord knows what else. I'll be using a Gopro 3, a Sony nex 7 and a canon d5. I'm very partial to Macs but wonder if a...

    First Build, First flight, can't fly... help

    Can't help with the radio set up but if you can take off you might have it right. Search for Gains settings on here. Don't know what mine are but TRIPLE check the direction of motors/props and fly with the 8" props. Mine did exactly the same as yours and I had two motors wired incorrectly, got...

    Graupner E Props 8 x 5

    Unfortunately I don't know how you can tell the old dji props from the new ones unless you have old ones to compare to, but I got a 550 about two months ago and through my own stupidity have crashed it three times and the props(8 ") have not been casualties. I measured the original hubs and the...

    Jeti DC16 unboxing

    Lovely job Boris, I have the same set up except I have the Secraft gear. I need to get another receiver for the Zen, I'll have to ask you a few questions about how you did it. BTW - Your English is better than some of my friends here in the States : -)

    Twitchy motors on an S800

    Well after much head scratching, and with the help of my good friend Steve, we managed to get my Jeti DC 16 talking to the S800 and got her in the air for the first time. We used the " standard " gains and she hovered pretty well but not as solid as a 550/naza. S800 only had one 6S battery on...

    Jeti DC16 unboxing

    Tried to set up jeti on an s800 and I thought it was going well but it started going south, then my brain crashed so I gave up and will try tomorrow again. Man that was tough!! I ended up trying to delete the model and start again, but I couldn't reset radio to zero(clear all the mess ups)...
