    Freefly Movi M10 With Camera cage Upgrade, Custom case

    After having the M10 for about 4 months I have decided it is overkill and too much gimbal for me. I purchased it used but in excellent condition with the expectation that many of my clients would want to fly larger cameras like a Red Epic. As you all know the M10 can handle cameras up to 12 lbs...

    Momentary Power Surge HC1100

    This is a build that I have been flying for about a year but recently have been having issues with. My last job the copter started spinning when landing and crashed into a tree. I had WKM V2 on it and thought it might be the culprit so I decided to get A2 and that is installed now but I am...

    Panasonic G7 Arrived

    I have not moved to 4K video yet, first I was going to get the GH4, then I was considering the Sony A7S and then I heard about the G7 for $800 with kit lens. I had already tried setting up a borrowed GH4 but was not able to get video out converted because the GH4 HDMI output is not compatible...

    Traveling With Lipo Batteries

    I am going to Costa Rica for a job videotaping a resort with my custom built HC800. I know I cannot bring lipos of this size (5000 mAh) on the plane, (this subject has been covered in forums extensively).

    Camera Gimbal jerks up and down

    I am using a Skyrover Mini Camera Gimbal that has two Hitec HS-5245MG servos plugged into the Naza F1 and F2 on my F550. It was working fine for a few weeks but now it jerks up and down repeatably. When on the ground in idle it is stable but as soon as I lift off it starts going up and down...

    I put the frame together last week of the carbon fiber frame made by Andrew at Hexacrafter and it is looking great Andrew has incorporated a brass bus bar instead of the standard power distribution board and it requires using a mini torch to get the solder flowing. Not pretty but gets the job...

    Turbo Ace X88-J2

    I am on the cusp of graduating from flying my F550 to a more steady heavy lifter. I have studied all the known biggies; Cinestar, Droidworx, Dragonflyer, Hoverfly and Aericam.
