very nice - congrats.

Cool man. I am sure that if you post up your problems as they happen, someone here will be able to help you out. When you start building, start a build thread and make sure to post lots of pictures. THat way when you run across a problem, it will be easier to help you out. Best of luck - let us...

Kemmy - you might consider adding a small rig like a DJI 450 to build first and learn to fly and maintain your rig and the acces ie...lipos, chargers, props etc. Pretty cheap and you could use the same radio on both rigs. I assume you havent done much flying because you stated you are not too...

its a great idea - its a growing problem in a bunch of industries - but seems this one is growing so fast that there are many fly by night guys - cashing in on the work of others.

that looks pretty impressive. also looks like a mechanical solution instead of gyros and motors. wonder what it cost - surely a whole lot less than a Movi. edit - see that you stated its mechanical. oops. id like to try it.

Bart I would love to make this event. I have always wanted to goto a big RC event, like Joe Nail or the Toledo show. I have a small RV, actually its a big van called a Sportsmobile. ANyways - I did not see any info about staying at that site, other than you sleeping in your suburban. Is there...

Welcome Mauiisl. Seems you have already figured out there is a wealth of knowledge here and everyone is more than happy to help out. Jealous you live in a beautiful place. Try to get there once a year. Last summer I was there for 2.5 weeks so no trip this summer for me. My mom grew up in...

Ken - JUST MY THOUGHTS - Being setup as 1 person rig - I have had a bit of luck in the wind just lining up the shot and flying it in free mode. meaning the camera is locked on too a heading. not near as versatile as panning the camera around but it makes for good looking shots in the big wind...

Thanks - that was all done with a ZEN and Nex5n. Have another rig SRH almost done and I think its going to get a ZEN too. I am having big horizon problems in the cold and I am a 1 man setup. SO those ski shots I had to dis-connect the pan and plug into roll. THen I would manually set level and...

So I took most the fun I had in March and made a video. Some of this footage I have already posted but none the less, here is March in 5 minutes. Missing some footage that someone else is editing. Some in particular I hope to share real soon. For now....hope you like it. I learned alot in March...

I have always kind of wondered why the cutout for the IMU is barely big enough to fit the IMU. Even though my IMU is not touching the top plate - is it close enough to introduce vibes to it??? Im with you - its development. With that said - lately I have been considering moving the ZEN and WKM...

Mombassa - my gains are right there with yours, after much tinkering. I have flown both 5.16 and 5.20 and had the altitude drop happen in both modes. I have noticed in disturbed air that its more likely to happen - decent or windy. I am very careful nowadays about how I bring the bird down...

yeah sorry Bart I get it. I was just poking a bit of fun at the DJI video with the future Ms Gunn.

Nic do you have this gimbal yet? SOrry if I missed a thread somewhere about your results with it - but im looking forward to your thoughts. I have been eyeballing this one for a smaller rig.

Ok so I cant post the whole video quite yet. But I threw together 5 seconds to share with you. I was invited to take part in this really fun shoot. THe subject matter was really impressive and fun to look at :) Enjoy - in honor of thread starter and generally just because he is the man -...

Bart are you and Shawn saying that HFP doesnt "talk to satellites" very well :) i liked how easily the words came out of her mouth - "you can fly it far enough to barely see it, then turn your radio off" - im scared.

so AWESOME! so many things I like about that setup. FPV cam, ESC brackets - just plain awesome. You even wanna part with it - LMK - I wanna be first on that list. BTW I ordered an AIrwolf 3d from California. I ordered pre-assembled one and its on a fedex truck for delivery today.

Certainly has me interested. If I have learned anything when it comes to buying this stuff or upgrading firmware - it is wait a bit and let a few units get out there. However, if it 60fps is on the table - I might just have to jump on it. AM I correct in thinking that the small fleet of NEX lens...

Id say it is kind of similar to photography. Anyone can take a picture but its a whole other world to take a professional picture. In other words - getting a gorpo in the air and having some fun - not too difficult or costly - getting professional video footage - years of experience, tons of...

nice use of MR platform. Being a single dad - i find it to be a very useful way to also de-clutter my sons room. A nice hover in the middle and all the junk on his floor, usually finds it way under something like the bed, out of sight - out of mind :) Back to the anti-vib kit. I just ordered...
