    DX 8 telemetry

    I haven't done any in a while for a client. We have several coming up though starting in a month or so or when the weather is good enough. I'm sort of scrambling to get the this MKTR mount to where it delivers a usable product but I'm not sure it's the workhorse I was hoping for and the weather...

    DX 8 telemetry

    A couple things about the DX8 and spektrum. There is a product bulletin out for the DX8 look on the Horizon page. Mine had the certain Pid # that could cause problems with the vibration feature. I sent mine in and they paid for shipping and the repair. Doesn't sound like this is what happened...

    Hybrid flight goggles

    Yeah it's possible but it's still the same basic design right? I didn't have a problem with the video feed it was the glare. Like I said they would probably be fine if you had a hood covering your head but that would defeat the purpose. I think with FPV goggles you kind of get what you pay for...

    Hybrid flight goggles

    IMHO a monitor would be better if you plan on only using FPV for lining up shots. It is what we have moved to and I find it easier.

    Hybrid flight goggles

    NOOOOOOO BART NOOOOO! I owned a pair of those goggles. I was planning on using them for FPV for the Hexa. Good thing I tested them out on my old EZSTAR before I used them on the Hexa because things went disasterously. I hate to say they are crap but they are. I didn't have a problem with them...

    Multi rotor camera mounts, the good, the bad, and the ugly

    I'm sorry I had a brain fart I knew that. I have the stock Hexa kit motors 2832/35 what would I need to do to use the Graupners? Adapters?

    Multi rotor camera mounts, the good, the bad, and the ugly

    LOL I hear you brother. I'm familiar with the MD1 baseplate and really think it it may help plus it's only 30 bucks but I might try your suggestion in the mean time thanks. Have you flown with the standard EPP's? I'm just wondering the lift/efficiency difference between the 3 props, EPP APC...

    Censorship, it just ain't right

    I can understand how it would be hard to keep the two separate but it's also easy to understand why people would have a problem with loaded information. I still like the forum and the people there are great but it does seem more and more controlled and products are starting to be pushed. I...

    Multi rotor camera mounts, the good, the bad, and the ugly

    I agree Ken that most of the mounts are geared towards stills and they are much easier to do. The Patiro I have was marketed as a video camera mount though...makes me laugh now. Back a year ago I didn't know any better. The other thing is too that I've seen brilliant video from multirotored...

    Censorship, it just ain't right

    Lets just say I know who you're talking about and I agree 100%. It's gonna get hard to trust info when there is a certain agenda involved. Not to mention I've been censored over there trying to help someone. I wasn't even suggesting a product just a different site to get info and it censored me...

    East Coast Fly-In?

    Bart I'm all in for a fly in and that date should be fine. I must say I think you're crazy for wanting to have it in DC though! I really don't have a better suggestion but that's a lot of heat!

    Multi rotor camera mounts, the good, the bad, and the ugly

    You are 100% right Denny and I would consider your product if it had proven results and was within reason price wise. I think the current mounts out there today cheap ones to the expensive ones all build off of one concept or another. They make marginal improvements with out really addressing...

    What's most important?

    To me stability is way more important. Give me a rock solid boom shot anywhere I want to as High as I want. Movement is important but not "Speed". I don't have a need to zoom around a subject. I need a fluent steady as could be shot.

    Multi rotor camera mounts, the good, the bad, and the ugly

    From my experience and from doing research for a long time on the subject there doesn't seem to be a magic bullet camera mount that solves all the issues a Aerial photographer may have with their machines. The main things being shaking from wind and vibrations from the motors and props...

    Near Earth Imaging:

    These are shots taken from April to August. Some are from jobs but most were taken by myself flying and getting stuff for R&D and for fun. The music is mine as well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dO3Qsj4gPw

    Near Earth Imaging: Veterans Project....

    On a very windy Labor day I went to a veterans cemetary and shot some footage. It is a beautiful and somber place. This is some of what I shot set to a piece of my music. The footage has not been stabilized. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOpcYoiIjcU

    Video of the Month Poll

    When I saw the Holger video we were already contemplating a Dragonflyer system for AP but in reality it was just too expensive. Once we saw the Holger video we were all amazed and on the same page....we need that!
