Hi Swisser, yes it would have been a good idea to check that but didn't think at the time. In fairness I contacted Alex at UAV Shop when we landed and he immediately agreed to send a replacement motor and ESC so great customer support there, haven't done any further testing with them as I have...

Hi All, Video link to my first test flight today, had a lucky escape after a motor/ speed controller failed. What do you think. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAoIn9JUF5U&feature=youtu.be

Hey all, Thought you might be interested in some pics of my build so far, it's a Vulcan Mantis 1080 hexa, running on 6s with DJI WKM. just waiting for my Zenmuse to arrive this week and I can get my NEX 7 onboard and get a test fly.

Hey Dave, well after much deliberating I've ordered a Vulcan Mantis 1080 to run on 6s. Together with a WKM and Zenmuse. Going to run a Nex7 and Spektrum DX18. Can't wait to get it in the air now.

Hi Denny, thanks for that, I have a heli A cert from the BMFA here in the UK and flew them for years, never really considered using one in the UK I wonder is it still covered under the BNUC-S. what is the gimbal technology like and how about vibration etc, I suspect they would perform better...

Certainly look to be good value, what would you say on this airframe running on 6s setup, with WKM and Zenmuse?

Whats the general opinion on the Vulcan Mantis 900mm airframe ?

Hi Swisser, I see what your saying but I'm not new to multirotors, I joined here a few years ago and had a homemade airframe running the WKM when it first came out, using a standard Nex5 with mikrocopter gimbal it flew brilliantly and got very good photo's, unfortunately I don't have that rig...

Hi Swisser, all I need is a rig for construction progress photography and real estate photography, Nex 5 type camera should be fine but if the nex7 is considerably better then I would rather go for that.

Whats the main issues Dave? been trying to trawl through everything but there's loads to read and I need to make a decision soon. What about a cinestar 6, can that carry a Zenmuse, whats your opinion of nex 7 or nex 5n?

Wow, imagine how youd feel if you shelled out £33k on the Aibot and found out you couldn't get a licence with it

Hi Chris, to be honest I haven't had a great deal of time to run back through everything yet, what are the biggest issues with the S800, how would a cinestar 6 with WKM and the cinestar gimbal compare? Carapau, thanks for the advice, I looked into doing this a couple of years ago when I had my...

After much consideration I have decided to go with an S800 with Zenmuse gimbal, would you say the Sony nex7 is a big improvement over the nex5n, also what transmitter is good for having all the functions for 1 man operation, maybe with remote gains etc.

Hi Eggbeater, by getting "light on it's feet" I assume you mean keeping just around the point of lift off, if so I found never to do this with a multi as you would with a heli, you should just get it up clear of the ground as quick as you can to allow the flight controller to work without having...

Hi Dave, good to see your still flying, how are things. Main reason for geotagging is for running in software to produce orthophoto's/ DEM's, it used to be a requirement for most of the software to create accurate results. Lanzar:- With regards flight dynamics etc the Falcon 8 doesn't offer...

Hi guys, just getting back into multi's after a while out of it and want to get going with a professional rig, what would you buy/ build with a budget of £10-£15k? what flight controller, airframe, gimbal etc and what camera would you want. It would be for professional AP use. How would you say...

Hi Bart, sorry for the late reply had problems getting the pics from my phone.

Hi Gmeister, I'll add a vote for the NEX5, it's been a great camera and done everything I have asked of it, I have a HDMI converter on mine and while it requires some modification (removing from case, removing some connectors) I just sling mine under the camera mount, shortening the HDMI cable...

Ive got to be honest, been using e-max BL2815/09's for about 9 months and never had an issue, and they are only £13 each, that's not to say I wouldn't run AXI's if I had the budget though!!!

Hi all, can anyone tell me if they have found some settings that work well on GPS hold for a bigger Hexa, about 3-3.5kg at takeoff, last time we tried it it was toilet bowling quite a lot, haven't updated the firmware in a while (probably since last October/November) so going to update it all...
