Where did that happen? Around here?

I agree. I almost picked one up last night for a shoot Monday morning, but I then realized that the HDMI out is different than the one on the NEX. I don't have time to get the replacement cable before then. When I work out a solution for that, I might get one. What do you think of it so far...

Anyone using the A5000 for aerial work? I've had an NEX 5n for a couple of years now and have always thought that my next camera would be the NEX 7 to take advantage of the larger sensor, but the A5000 looks appealing considering it's $499 for 20.1 mp. Any input from someone how actually...

Have fun guys. I'll catch you on the next one. I'm still on vacation with the family.

The 6th is no good for me, but I could do the 19th & 20th.

I found a very, very simple solution to this problem years back. Don't be a DJI early adopter anymore. I know it's hard to wait when you see that new product on the horizon, but history has proven that this is usually how it goes every time, so learn from the past and avoid it at all costs. I...

I personally know the photographer that shot this video. He is a friend of mine in NY, and actually a great guy. This was one of his very first videos and he made and didn't realize at the time how dangerous some of those flights were. I can tell you that he took a public caning for this, as...

The tricky thing here is that they state this is effective immediately, which of course we know from Trappy's case that you can't pass law without the public comment timeline. That being said, they are allowing public comment on this for a 30 day period starting yesterday (6/23/14) and I would...

The FAA issued a new set of rules today for "hobbyist" model aircraft operators. Among other things, they are banning FPV goggles, or at least are trying to. Thoughts? http://www.faa.gov/about/initiatives/uas/media/model_aircraft_spec_rule.pdf

I might be up for that. I have to check with the wife and see what are plans are first. We have vacation that week.

This is a sketch of a shot we are planning to get next week. We shot the first one with a GoPro to test the perspective. Now we will go back with the NEX and get the final shot.

That did the job, kloner. Added about 1lb and moved down to 15 inch props and it flys great now.

Bart, from what I understand, you can not run 2.4 side by side on the same system with Lightbridge. You are supposed to run all your RC (flight and camera) and video through light bridge. The only way around that is to run your RC through another frequency, such as 5.8 (now the Phantom 5.8 RC...

Thanks for the input. Just ran out and picked up 15 inch props, so testing continues. On a side note, I found a shop not far from my house that stocks this stuff now. That's a first. I have to admit, it was nice to be able to leave the house and come back with props instead of ordering them...

Thanks, Steve. I hadn't thought of checking the hover point in manual. I'll do that in today's tests. If you had to guess, what would you say a rough gain structure would be? I started it at defaults and initial tests showed it getting a little worse as I raised them, but thinking back, that...

Hey Gang, What do most of you use as a formula for total lift compared to total weight on your builds? I just finished up a HL quad that is flying a little funny, and I suspect it's actually over propped or simply has too much lift. In short, it's got a total of 21 lbs of lift and weighs in...

Great idea. Let me know if you ever need the input of another seasoned iOS dev.

Photobobga, the radio is actually transmitted over the light bridge in slave/training mode. There is only one transmission, not two.

So any luck testing it yet? I had one on pre-order, then learned that as recently as the NAB show they still didn't have 1080 working. It seems a bit odd to me that they went from not working, to being released to the public inside a month. Not much time for testing, if you ask me. I'm happy...

Thanks, W. Reimer. I'm going to keep an eye on NOTAMs in the future to see if I notice this inclusion again. I know that we have the POTUS in town this september, and they have already issued their NOTAM, so I'll start there and see if I can find a pattern. There are a lot of things brewing up...
