Happy birthday MRF! And another thank you to Bart for his tireless efforts.

Oh and make sure to leave the WiFi off on the gopro. There is evidence that it will interfere with GPS signals possibly causing fly-aways

You WILL crash while learning. That's a certainty :). So make sure to build cheaply with cheap props and booms that are easy to replace. I saw that you were asking about flight controllers in the other thread. I would strongly suggest trying out the Pixhawk system. Highly professional (the...

Agree with the wider lens suggestions. A 16 to 24mm zoom is your best friend for interior shots. Gopro would be too wide IMO. The other thing I'd like the panning to be just a tiny bit slower but that's personal taste. Also you get less distortion from rolling shutter effect. All in all pretty...

I'd stick with 16 by 9 as pretty much everything online is in that aspect these days

Makes you wonder if the the Video poster has a beef with HobbyKing and is branding it to hurt them eh.

I like this idea a lot.

Great forum, great bunch of folks! Happy New Year! :)

Those woods look pretty dry too. This could be the most irresponsible thing I've seen yet. The whole area could go up in flames..

Way to go HobbyKing! You may have just provided a reason to ban your products.

Lol Hoki this thread was not aimed at you,.. or anyone actually. (Your new avatar is much better btw. Thank you.) Annnnd I'm glad you're here and sticking around! This can be a fun and challenging hobby. I think that's the appeal for many of us... to challenge ourselves.. so be prepared for...

Word. Me too.

That the forums will be inundated with a TON of newbs that got a drone for Xmas, went straight out and crashed or otherwise have issues. They will lack education in all aspects of RC and will be looking for guidance. This could be a good or bad thing ... Lol

What Bart is saying is that you must program both your radio and flight controller to talk to each other. Then there are settings on both that can be changed to make the behavior the way you like. Drones are complex flying robots and there is a ton of studying and research to be done to...

The best way for a first time builder is to find a build thread on a copter that you like and copy that. They usually post part lists and show the assembly of the build. Buying a bunch of random parts never works and is usually a waste of money.

I found this interesting, and possibly amusing. http://m.slashdot.org/story/304557

It's a metaphor

I haven't seen too many happy users of the Atlas. RcTimer makes a good version of the Px called the "FixHawk" though.

It's been called "Tombstone Engineering" ... We'll fix it when the public starts to notice all the tombstones.

Thanks for all your work around here Bart! You and the forum are much appreciated. Merry Christmas!
