    DJI F550 crashed and not sure why

    May I ask why you think the cause was motor or esc? Also, i used to fly with the AMP extensions and Axi motors, i found with 4s that the 11 Graupners were tons of fun.

    Looking for something to shoot video with

    welcome Brad. I have seen some pretty decent results from a DJI Phantom. It also seems that it is a great way to get started in the hobby. You would be pretty hard pressed to do it any cheaper, having no experience in the hobby. The Phantom should fly half decent right out of the box...

    DJI F550 crashed and not sure why

    were you using the NAZA FC? If so, I have found it to be a great FC but not exactly trustworthy, meaning you can have lots of great flights, then all of the sudden. It is super finicky. There are numerous weird things that can happen with that FC. Sunlight and vibrations just to name a couple. I...

    Help needed for Zenmuse & Nex 5R

    The R has some wifi sharing abilities that the N does not. with that said, 99% sure that they are the same frames. Bordhead a member here, is flying an R. They are not making the N anymore but they can still be found. I recently got a great deal on one at B and H Photo. I have both the 18-55 and...

    Hello from SoCal! Noob to Multicopters!

    Barken - having owned the package I would agree with Kloner. It is super nice, mine was sporting the Axi and while it did the job, I quickly was into an AD6, much much better for hauling around a DSLR. I guess it would depend upon your needs. I happen to have all of those parts still and I keep...

    Hello from SoCal! Noob to Multicopters!

    you will like the 550. at one point i had a AV130 and a Canon t2i under mine. It was fairly modified at that point and I quickly progressed past it but it did get the job done.

    Hello from SoCal! Noob to Multicopters!

    also - living anywhere near Kloner and not meeting up with him to see him fly and pick his brain for advice would be a mistake.

    Hello from SoCal! Noob to Multicopters!

    Barken - I started with a 550 and while it does have some bad points, agree with kloner there, it is also an excellent first rig. you are going to crash. the frame is pretty rugid. if you happen to break something, it is easily replaced and cheap. i have had a number of rigs since getting my...
