BTW, is it possible that you have a video transmitter (1.3 or 2.4) that's interfering with the NAZA? I had that problem with mine and had to physically separate the two antennas about a foot. Since then my GPS has been rock solid. The NAZA-M V2 GPS does not have a saw filter and is prone to...

I have a simple set of rules when it comes to DJI software updates. Rule #1: Don't do it. Rule #2: See Rule #1. My NAZA-M V2 is still running whatever came with it about 1.5 years ago, and I see no reason to update. It's a shame that DJI force Phantom and Inspire users to update, given their...

I have to say it's a weird feeling to move any of the sticks all the way to the stop and have the copter do something not only rational, but beautiful. :D

Not flicking a switch, per se. There are two pots on the sides of the Futaba; one controls vertical speed and the other horizontal speed. They're analogous to the pan and tilt speed controls on the MōVI. Basically, if I set the vertical speed down low, when I start to climb or descend with the...

That's a question for the market to answer. If there's a market for them, they'll undoubtedly appear. But Freefly's rationale for not putting SYNAPSE out there for builders and integrators is sound in my mind. They have limited support resources, and tons of experience testing SYNAPSE on other...

Here's what I can say regarding what the big leap is with the ALTA: it's the full-machine integration and testing, including the MōVI. Everything is designed, tested and built together. The SYNAPSE flight controller does have some features like velocity clamping that are likely to end up being...

I'll have to snap some tomorrow. Basically, the copter is separated into two assemblies: the hub/arms/motors, and the center core. The center core contains the battery tray and the MōVI mounting. It also spans the top and bottom of the copter through a large opening in the center of the copter...

Here's a "real" piece I did yesterday with the ALTA at a wedding...

Love it! I'm gonna have to get one o' them fancy Hollywood agents now. :cool:

:)

Amazing machine, and truly flattered and humbled by this cool little film they made. Very talented folks up there! My ALTA is flying beautifully...taking it slowly here so that I am truly familiar with its personality. But I will say that this is by far the best-integrated and designed...

My ALTA is now airworthy! :D It took an extra day for UPS to find my Futaba 14SG transmitter and get it to me, which gave me a chance to get a few more things dialed in. I've done so, and the copter is ready for operations...or at least for me to get a few hours of break-in time. Here are a...

Thanks, @Bartman!

I wanted to share with anybody who's interested the look and feel of their iOS app. It's just one part of what's really special about the ALTA. The elegance of this app is really a cut above anything I've seen in the UAV world. Take a look...thanks!

I can't see any flaw in your logic. It sounds perfect to me.

HA! We've all been waiting, right? I only had 10-15 minutes of flight time with it, so I can only say a few things at this point. One is that it flies like it's on rails. Even takeoffs are remarkably smooth, unlike any other MR I've flown. Tabb showed me some truly impressive moves with the ALTA...

I will definitely share. Not airworthy yet, though. I was going to configure it with my DragonLink radio and two DL receivers (Synapse supports dual receivers in diversity mode), but Tabb convinced me to use the same Futaba setup that they all use on theirs. They have the radios configured to...

Yes, I have the M5, and I can't wait to fly it. The process of switching it from bottom to top mount is not instantaneous (there are some screws to change) but I'd estimate it'd take only 10-15 minutes.

Just arrived back in Half Moon Bay (home) with it. Survived its first trip through the Southwest Airlines baggage system completely unscathed (as I'd expect...that's a Pelican Storm case that comes with it) and I had fun setting up on my kitchen table for my family! Going to get my FPV and...

I was fortunate to be invited to collect ALTA #1 from Freefly up in Seattle today. Amazing machine and a real honor to get to meet many of the team behind it.
