DJI is advertising their stabilization system as 'Vision Positioning Technology'. Watching the following video, whatever they are doing, it is working quite well. Any ideas?

I am building a new setup with a Zero UAV YS-X6. I accidentally ordered one sbec esc and 7 opto's. I can only get the sbec esc to arm. I can tell power is running to the others, as I can feel the tension on the motors, but they won't spin up. I also can't get the programming card to work on...

I'll just leave this here... http://gizmodo.com/this-poor-guys-loses-1430-worth-of-camera-and-drone-in-1480711934

To make a long story short, watch the video. I'd seen some run-ins with this company in previous posts, but wow, my own interaction bordered on the comical. In the end all I requested was a refund. From claiming I was a Chinese spy to claiming I was blackmailing them (for the refund) this was...

I came across this FC: http://www.service-drone.com/en-gb/technology/multirotor-flight-control Alot of great tech there, and at the discount price of nearly 6000 euro for the FC alone... I did find it interesting that they are using dual 32-bit chips and are approaching the FC role as more of...

I am building an x8 setup, and I wanted to try and test a design with the front booms almost straight to the side, similar to an H setup, and the rear booms back at a large angle, so the setup is asymmetrical if looking at it from the side. Picture below. I have it setup with the mixer...

Salvaged parts, new parts, trying some new ideas. Aggressive Boom placement. This was an aesthetical choice, I will see how it handles. 3D Printed/Wire Vibration Isolation between MR and Gimbal. 3-Axis gimbal with the large 8100 series motors on the pan and roll, dual 5106's on the tilt...

I know that many people are using different pitches on their X8/6 setups, with the larger pitch being the bottom prop, but has anyone used different size props, for example a 15 on top and a 12 on bottom? Much of the coaxial prop research I have come across shows that the second prop doesn't...

I have one of Bart's XY8, the thing is a beast, lightweight, compact, and flies great... until I made some changes. Disclaimer: Bart's Machine is solid, this is in reference to my own modifications. I 3D printed a wire-based vibration isolator and connected a Cinestar-style three axis gimbal...

How are you guys connecting the 3rd axis wiring to get to the brushless controller? With the full 360 ability, how can you mechanically keep the wires from tangling? I understand approaching this operationally (i.e. don't turn it in circles), but I am interested in removing this limitation. I...

As most of us enjoy flying much more than fiddling with camera balance, I am looking at working out something to make this a bit easier. As I try and justify my 3D printer purchase by doing as much as possible with it, I'll try and print something up. I wanted to check with you guys to see if...

Long story short, I changed the BL-CTRL on my coptor and must have soldered the motor the opposite way, as now it is spinning the wrong direction. Without having to get in and resolder it, can I change my mixer settings for this motor and switch it around? Right now it reads: Gas: 64 Nick: -64...

Anyone have experience with this frame, specifically with fitting MK guts on it? Can't find a solid answer one way or the other.

Anyone out there have the top and bottom center plates? Or one or the other? Cheers! Eric

I know most of you built your multi's from scratch and this is not a big deal, but for me, it was an epic moment, and will surely stand as a pinnacle in my relation with multirotors.... I bought a xy-8 setup, and promptly, through admittedly my own incompetence, fried one of the ESC's. I live...

Hi Guys, Anyone using a full hdmi downlink? I have only seen the bolt HD with a 300 ft range, and a Korean start-up with longer range that has yet to come to market. Any other brands out there people are using, or does anyone have any experience with the Bolt HD?

Those are the parts we are dealing with. The spools to the right are stand-ins for their future shapes after being shoved through the head of a 3D printer. The gimbal itself is the 700 (shipped) CM301 from rctimer.com. This is a pretty-close-to-exact (dimensions-wise) clone of the Cinestar...

Who is looking to unload? Let me know!

Hi Guys, I have an XY-8 setup, all motors arm when the battery is plugged in, however one does not spin. None of them throttle up, as I believe the Flight Control recognizes that one isn't spinning and doesn't throttle up because of it. When I first hooked it all up, all the motors spun up...

I purchased the XY8 Bartman had for sale here a while back. So far, it has made a stellar conversation piece as it has faithfully propped up our wii sensor in the living room. That was then, this is now... Now I have the lipo's the 9503, and the strong desire to put her in the air. Too many...
