There's a good rant by Tony Northrup on the demise of the consumer camera market. It's effecting the giants like Canon, Nikon etc too, that used to depend on the point and shoot market for a large percentage of their cash flow. In a nutshell the iPhone camera has taken over as the defacto...

There's a sticky thread right above this one where we post our videos to avoid clogging the discussion area... If you or the mods could delete this post and move it into the correct thread it would be great.

Damn! This IS a very odd problem indeed :/

The Tarot 810 is an awesome frame, but their smaller ones definitely miss the mark.

Perfect post by Moonpie. Pretty much nails it. The smaller the wheelbase the better in wind for sure. IE: X8 ... The trade-off is they are a little "twitchy" compared to a large octo, but this quick to react characteristic is what makes them better in wind. (Just to be aware that there is...

I would have guessed a higher end camera (which is a compliment to the shooter skills!) I've never been a big fan of the GH4 look but this proves it's more the shooter than the gear. Thanks Chuck. Looks like it was a fun gig.

Absolutely stellar camera work all around Chuck. What brand of cameras are you using for your ground cams?

Famous Hobby sells raw sheets and tubing etc. High quality, good prices. They'll do custom CNC cutting too for those that need that service.

DJI upgrade: "Oh the product is junk and doesn't work? Buy the new version..." Step two: Repeat step one ;)

Some really nice shots there Chuck!

Police are looking at using birds of prey to take down drones in terrorist attacks right now too

I've had a swarm of wasps attack my 810 twice now, in different locations. I thought I was seeing things when a large grey cloud made a straight run at my machine. Then I realized what it was and quickly decided to fly the machine AWAY FROM ME in a big hurry lol. I guess to them it sounds like...

That's insane, in a good way lol! Can't wait to hear what she'll lift.

Yes, love my 810 as well. Stabilize mode is softer touch than manual for sure. For aerial video you want a little bit of a lazy flying machine for smooth shots.

Yeah this is why I was thinking motor alignment myself. Def related to the frame if you're sure the FC is good. At this point I'm almost 100% certain it's a vibration problem. Vibes are higher/highest when yawing as you are "opposing the motors" so to speak in order to maintain lift and rotate...

Ok. Have you looked at all the motors to make sure they are perfectly level? One that's out of alignment (twisted boom etc.) might have this effect. And that's about all I've got at this point lol

That or there's some kind of mix programmed in your TX that you're not aware of? Maybe try creating a fresh model in the tx and see if the problem follows.

I keep coming back to the thought that your flight controller may not be perfectly level. Or perhaps the gyro chip itself may be soldered off level. Is this a new FC? Do you have a spare you could try?

I don't know about others but I only have Multirotors ;)

I still wouldn't be getting that close to her though. I generally fly in open field settings with no potential victims (general public / neighbors) within at least 100 yards, and I myself stay back about 30 feet during take off and landing. These things can cover a lot of ground in the blink of...
