    S1000 - thank you DJI

    Well after trying to get a Tarot X6 to work, I had a crash and went out and bought an S1000. Wow is all I can say! This thing has been thoroughly thought through by DJI. An absolutely astounding piece of machinery. Got the maiden voyage up today and everything went perfectly. Couldn't be...

    Tarot X6 crash - lesson learned

    She was flying pretty well, so I put the gimbal and camera on and threw her up. A couple minutes in she comes crashing down from about 30 feet. Absolutely devastated - I have a ton of hours invested building this thing. Gimbal is completely trashed (couldn't get the gear down in time)...

    Anybody know what causes "IMU Data Lost"

    Can't seem to shake this issue on my new hex build. It's a WKM on 5.16 (always been a solid fw for me). The issue seems to happen when I start moving around laterally - not even that aggressively. I've tried mounting the IMU with firm two-sided tape and also with a soft two-sided spongy...

    Client edited our vid and here it is

    So we put together this for them: https://vimeo.com/107619931 They requested the raw footage so they could have their video editor go at it and came up with this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUTStnzpF6Q We're furious with the new edit. Maybe I'm just being over-sensitive because I put...

    Assistant shows fail-safe - not sure why

    So I have a WKM 5.16. I've used this fw on a couple different rigs in the past wit no problem. I'm plugged into the computer and can't figure out why the assistant is showing me in fail-safe mode. - I'm in radio contact. - The go home switch is showing stand-by. - Voltage failsafe is shut...

    Great tip for balancing props

    Just came across this stuff: http://www.amazon.com/Unique-LD-36-Tourna-Lead-Tape/dp/B00124KUBC It's exactly what I've been looking for to balance hubs. I had been using Super Glue, but it was a pain in the a** and left a bunch of white residue. I still like to use Scotch tape to balance the...

    PDB Soldering Help Please!!

    Finally found some time to work on my new Y6. Soldering the thickest PDB I've ever had. I'm having a hell of a time just getting the ESCs on there. They just don't seem to be taking. I'm using a Weller 100/140 watt gun with rosin core unleaded solder. Not using any flux - just trying to...

    Focus with GH3 and Panny 12-35mm

    What do you guys do for focus on this lens? Do you just put it on auto and forget it? I generally try to run infinity, but the 12-35 doesn't have a notch for infinity, meaning we would have to find it manually for every flight - time consuming and need to be careful not to nudge it at all...

    RCShutter trigger for Panasonic GH1, GH2, GH3

    This cost $39 brand new plus $4 airmail to the U.S. I will ship it to you for $30. It has been bench-tested and immediately put back in the plastic wrap. Here's what it does on our GH3: If you are in video mode, and you trigger it, it will start video recording, then put the switch back...

    Plug for Rotors and Aerial Media

    This is just to say what a great vendor Rotors and Aerial Media is. No, I'm not affiliated in any way - but sometimes somebody goes over and above the call of duty, and that's rare in this industry. Beresford makes very high quality gimbals and ours is no exception. He was extremely patient...

    RCShutter for GH3?

    Anybody have this up and running? Can't seem to get mine to work. I'm using it exactly the same as I used my old RCShutter for nex5n. I've tried all travel adjusting and sub trims in my radio - still nothing. Are there any camera settings that will prevent it from working? Thanks, TB

    HDMI out on GH3 is killing me

    Well after many hours I finally have my HDMI board set up so that it transmits a picture successfully from my NEX-5N. Plug it in to the GH3 however, and I get vertical colored stripes with no picture. I have tried every setting for output: 16:9, 4:3, 1080p, 1080i, 720p, etc... Is there a...
