How do I ensure that the aerial video shoots straight ahead when flying straight ahead when there is a 3rd axis yaw motor? Do I have to rely on my camera operator or can I activate the Alexmos feature so that the BGC keeps the camera aligned with the rig heading? Or do I disable the Yaw motor...

I have it now and am not aware of a narrower tuning range. Can you clarify? The 2nd IMU to be mounted to the frame or below the Yaw motor is supposed to significantly improve performance.

I am now on test flight 10 or 11....... so far so good for the most part. Below is a video from a previous test flight. The one issue that seems to crop up again and again is that the MR will sometimes tip over after landing but only in GPS mode. It lands, it continues to idle, then two or three...

I am also having issues with my Cinestar Octo rig flipping after landing.... but only if I land in GPS mode...... no issues in Attitude mode. Seems like it is deciding it has not landed at the appropriate GPS Take off point and wants to hop back over to it for some reason........ Seems like...

Probably getting off track a bit here..... but should Mad Monkey switch to the Panasonic GH4, then the Cinestar Octocopter 1100 would be a good choice..... just can't be folded down though.... but the tripod landing gear, yaw motor cage concept is hard to beat IMHO.

Inverse square law applies to all radio transmission signals and no telling what frequencies are emitted when tower space is leased out to other radio systems. Radar uses a more powerful but beamed directional signal. We would often stand nearer to the bottom of a mountain top microwave repeater...

Sorry I don't know....wish I did though.

Whereas the flight computer may be sending the right output in a timely manner to maintain a straight forward heading without any yaw, the rest is up to the ESCs to respond quickly enough. But more importantly, the motor/prop combos have to have the speed/torque characteristics to enable almost...

Mine is the DJI A2 system and I had the WKM before that......... Maybe I am missing something in the documentation, but I don't recall a ways/means to land remotely unless battery level 2 landing is forced. Last time that happened it was drifting sideways and flipped over several times when it...

Has anyone been able to work out a method so that they can land safely at a significant distance, such as at the pin of a fairway while still standing on the tee box? So far I have been flying to the pin then back for a safe landing close to TOP at or near the tee box...... seems much safer to...

Sensationalism is the signatures code of the news media. When is the last time someone fell overboard where the water was not shark infested? And how is 800 feet a near miss? And now a claim by the police "The police also suggest that the drone went from 0-2,000 feet in "less than two...

Not good!

You must use OPT type ESCs or if ESCs have BEC, the power wire must be removed so it does not send power into the WKM FC. Likewise to your E-flite instructions, the Turnigy Multistar ESCs did not have any instructions as to fixing the throttle 0 thru 100% range limits...

I assume one must be a US citizen in order to sign a petition specific to US regulator jurisdiction having jurisdiction specifically within US boundaries or should I sign anyway and let the US government filter it as they see fit? In the meantime I can try to work through the Civil Engineering...

The FC gimbal control function calls for a default range of 10,000 to -10000 within the FC documentation. But what does this range mean for gimbal control in terms of MR flight angles for pitch and roll? The reason I am asking is because BaseCam SimpleBGC documentation states the following...

Here is why setting ESC throttle limits is so critical IMHO: 1) Turnigy Plush ESCs will allow motor speeds to oscillate up and down when the throttle joystick is left in one position during ground and flight testing. 2) Turnigy Multistar ESCs do not show this tendency, but when MR lands, some of...

Speculating.... In addition to the configuration of all the ESCs parameters such a battery type, Cutoff voltage, Brake, Timing, Start-up mode, you also need to fix the throttle range limits of 0% and 100% using the throttle stick on your RC xmitter. Otherwise the ESCs don't know how to gauge...

1lifefilm, The DJI S1000 looks good... but I have the Cinestar Octocopter 1100mm which so far has been a great flying experience......it was designed specifically for serious aerial cinematography for the Mikrocopter but with some simple mods can accommodate other FCs. I use the DJI A2 on mine...
