Stick around Chuck! It's the people that make the forum, not the page headers. And I agree on the commercial aspect. Perhaps a dedicated forum mods? (And ya I know that I'm the guy who was suggesting fewer pages lol)

It looks like new guys are coming up to speed. Let's give them a chance. I apologize for my negative reactions above don't let them cast a bad vibe on the place. Hopefully it will be better than ever.

Thanks Nathan! I wish I'd known about that x a few days earlier lol

Agreed, the excessive ads are VERY excessive and VERY annoying. A top banner like most other forums is plenty Please. A lot of ads won't make you anything if there's no one around to see them. Also that "Hello VioletWolf" announcement at the top of EVERY SINGLE PAGE needs to go away right...

As a person who makes a living online, and is pretty savy at social media marketing the problem with this place is simple: Too fragmented.. There should only be 4-5 pages at most.. This would build the community rather than separating everyone into tiny niche cliques. Change that and it would...

The place is getting inundated with spam and no sign of the new owners...

Bart has abandoned ship... He sold the forum and the new owners seem MIA as well :/ Hopefully they get on top of this soon, I can hear crickets chirping already :(

Ya start with the camera and work your way back to the gimbal and machine. In my case it's the a6300 / gimbal of my own design and build (based on Famous Hobby parts & Phobotic controller) / and a Tarot 810 hexa with T-Motors & Pixhawk.. Awesome machine all around and all for about $5k USD. I'd...

Did you calibrate the ESC's?

right I forgot to mention that was the basis for my opinions above. It's a CAD model for certain. Likely rendered in an app called Keyshot which I use for all my product design illustrations. Looks pretty realistic. (I'm a yacht designer by day)

I'd wait until they actually manufacture some and see what actual user reviews say. In my experience building gimbals, flat plate designs should be avoided. As should support from only one side of the cradle. And supporting with the motor bearings.. Then there's the thin flat plate for camera...

OK that's good. I thought it was Multport for most Sony cameras. :)

Also binding the wires tightly side by side (like on the ribbon cable) will cancel magnetic fields. This is why they use ribbon cables on servo wires :)

At first I thought the footage was stabilized (telltale is foggy looking trees). But there appears to be a big smudge on the lens just to the upper right of center. That said there are other spots that look stabilized when watching the edges of the screen (foggy trees). Possibly yt...

Do you have links to these Engin? I know the ones you linked to earlier were IR which trigger the camera with an LED light that activates through the infrared sensor on the camera. I'm pretty sure that the camera control is on the Multport/USB port for hardwired control. I think the HDMI port...

Hi Bart, yes see the link above from Engin for the cable. Because this is a very new camera it's taking a few weeks for the hacks we need but everything is coming together. (Engin your English is not very bad, we can understand you well) ;) You should definitely take a look at this camera...

They both look like they will work. I start my camera while it's on the ground and let it run the whole time I'm flying so I don't use this type of device. For HDMI I think I posted links above to generic White Box types that you can buy on Amazon and eBay... Get the ones with the big chips on...

Hahah ya crashes are part of the learning curve! Don't fly anything heavy expensive or dangerous until you are 100% confident and have dozens of crash free flights. Practice flying figure 8's: away from yourself, towards yourself, across field left to right and then right to left. This will...

Yes, very nice! Especially when you consider the gear... Just goes to show its the cameraman not the camera :)

Thanks for sharing the link engin. That is the missing part of the puzzle. I'm glad I waited to buy a cable :)
