    Just getting into gimbals please help, what's a good controller?

    What's a good and fair priced gimbal controller? What's everyone using? I don't want the super high priced model, just something that'll work and work well for a fair price. I'm just getting into gimbals so your help is appreciated, thanks!

    Gimbal suggestion for Gopro HD/Hero 2?

    This may be a little premature on my part but I just ordered this gimbal below. It's good for many different sized cameras, on the smaller side like GoPros, and it can be balanced with screws instead of having to move the camera around. I haven't actually used this unit so let me be clear but...

    EzUHF and FUTABA 8FG .... took me hours to figure out ... what I learned HERE. :)

    I attenuate the TV transmitter and the part number depends on the frequencies you are trying to block and the frequency you are transmitting on. The EzUHF receiver has a built in 1.3Ghz blocking unit already so I didn't choose a low pass filter. I went with a high pass filter on the TV...

    EzUHF and FUTABA 8FG .... took me hours to figure out ... what I learned HERE. :)

    Sure, I can try to help you out. I used firmware 1.44 on my radio's EzUHF transmitter and 1.43 on my EzUHF diversity receiver. If you try to use 1.44 on your receiver, it won't work. Took me HOURS to figure that out. Once I downgraded my receiver to v1.43 everything worked immediately. I used...

    EzUHF and FUTABA 8FG .... took me hours to figure out ... what I learned HERE. :)

    Wow, good info! I actually didn't know any of that. I try to respect where I fly and the people around me as much as possible. I did notice that I got better RSSI values when I used 433-435Mhz then when I used Extreme hoping. I wasn't aware that extreme hoping wasn't legal in the US? I think...

    NAZA Failsafe question... anyone know?

    Does the NAZA failsafe work if you are flying in manual mode or only for attitude and GPS mode? I know you need to have the GPS antenna in order to enable the feature (RTH) but once you have the full setup I'm not sure that if you are flying in manual mode and lose your signal that it'll enable...

    @Zaidy Looks really nice!!! Wish it wasn't sped up and there are a couple times when you are flying with your shadow on the ground, that takes away from the shot. You asked so that's my 2 cents :)

    EzUHF and FUTABA 8FG .... took me hours to figure out ... what I learned HERE. :)

    Hey all, I thought I'd share what I learned this weekend and with my new EzUHF system and my new Futaba 8FG radio. First, I did not properly bind my radio and receiver but I was not aware of this and thought I had, that was the first problem. I had tested that I had control before I left but did...

    @Dmitry Pure genius, excellent AP work! From the video editing, the music, the incorporation of objects and landmarks to the main event...simply amazing. Very impressed my friend, good work, best I've seen in a long, long time!

    There are cameras out there that will zoom and are already built for FPV. Typically you'll have a second operator running the camera rig and the main operator is the pilot. You can of course do it yourself from GPS hold or something like that. http://www.hobby-wing.com/fpv-fever-hp520-10x.html...

    Really really nice, the only thing I wish you had done was let them be natural versus kind of scaring them off but I get it, it's not easy plus you had to be super excited :) I know I would have been. Good stuff....

    Aeronavics / Droidworx SkyJib 6 Heavy V2

    They are some of the best out there, super sexy and very well made. Talk to Kloner for more details, I think he's got a few of them. What batteries and what kind of weight and flight time are you looking for?

    Y6 Naza yaw problem.

    1. What flying mode are you in when this happens? 2. Can you describe better what it is doing exactly? 3. Anything after the YAW command or any command is controlled by the ATTITUDE adjustments. The higher they are the more they will SNAP BACK into place, they describe this in the manual. 4...

    can I mix motors / escs ?

    Sure it'll work and you'll be surprised how well it'll work. Leveling the craft is controlled by the software in the flight controllers and if it starts to sway to one side it'll compensate. It does not take POWER readings from each arm before accelerating them to the speed it needs, it just...

    Y6 Multirotor with Eagle Tree OSD making massive buzzing noise,hard to hear alerts

    Hey all, it's been a while since I posted but I hope everyone is doing well. Basically I have an Eagle Tree OSD Pro that I've been using and up until recently I've been bypassing the audio portion of the Eagle Tree OSD Pro. Now that I have it hooked up it is buzzing like crazy. People are...

    Hot speed controllers

    Yeah, I don't think that's it though. I think the main problem is that he's overloaded and/or the bigger props have those motors overworked. If he's not hovering at 50% in manual mode then something is wrong etc...if he's hovering at 80%, he's way overloaded etc etc. I hover for 15 minutes 2-3...

    Hot speed controllers

    Answer these questions 1. Does your copter hover at 50% throttle in manual mode? 2. 6lbs 9oz is pretty heavy and with a 3S battery it's pulling major amperage to keep those 11" blades spinning which is why they are getting hot. Have you tried 10x3 DJI props with 4S? You'll pull less amps which...

    Attack on the drones, is shooting with a drone camera legal?

    Keep in mind some states have enacted laws that make it illegal to film people without their consent or depending on your intention. In Hawaii they have the "Steven Tyler" law in regards to voyeurism and paparazzi and in Florida it is illegal to film someone without their consent if your...
