    A new marketplace for us all

    I think there would be little legal leg to stand on regarding the status of the upoaders. We just have to look at YouTube for precedent.. How many videos there have been checked for location permits etc etc. Heck, even Devin Supertramp openly admits to shooting parkour vids on the streets and...

    Freefly Alta was recalled... Anyone see this???

    If they're such fanatics why were they using ferrous screws on the compass module in the first place.. Engineering 101 man... And on and on. Not a fan (as you can tell) And I'll just drop it. I don't want to quarrel. ;)

    Freefly Alta was recalled... Anyone see this???

    I didn't want to be negative, but I agree. My first thought was "not very rigorous testing if they're failing after 200 folds". Wire chafing seems like an obvious place to test. These guys do have a history of over-hyping. The early servo gimbals were abysmal for instance.

    Movi M5 - should I buy it?

    You're right Adam this is a very big decision. When it comes to business you must ask if it will make enough money to pay for itself? Are my customers asking for this service? Also it would not be much good without a pro camera to put on it. I think in order of importance is a good camera...

    First drone which can zoom in even on the craters of the Moon

    Military and Law Enforcement will love this.

    Pixhawk Drifting

    Could be a number of things. If it won't trim out at the tx then its on the craft. I'd suspect the FC was not properly calibrated for level.

    Oh great... is this true? (registration)

    And how many school/toddler shootings this month? Maybe that should be the government focus. Let's regulate drones!!!?? Wtf

    Freefly Alta was recalled... Anyone see this???

    Yup, good on them. I suspect the liability department pulled the trigger on that. It could've gotten really messy if they didn't. Food for thought with all the Chinese junk out there eh.

    Need a Gimbal for FLIR

    Perhaps a wider/bigger gimbal that you could mount both cameras to? Either side by side or the FLIR underslung below the gopro.

    Throttle on Pixhawk

    This may be an obvious question but did you calibrate your radio in mission planner?

    Momentary Power Surge HC1100

    DJI Support is a bit of an oxymoron isn't it lol Their attitude seems to be "product not working? Wait and buy the next product.. It may be better" I gave up on them a few years ago because of this.

    APM wobble in the wind.

    I'm thinking dazzab is right about uploading missions in the air. I had originally planned to use it as described by OP but have just been doing manual. This thread has rekindled my desire to try this though :)

    APM wobble in the wind.

    As it trundles jerking about along it's "cable" ;) An easy test to check this out for yourself: Hover your multi in front of you in AltHold mode. Observe it's behavior. Then switch to Loiter mode. It will almost certainly start twitching about while it corrects for position. All FC's are...

    help with buying new multi.

    I've been flying a Tarot 810 frame with Pixhawk (APM actually) for almost 3 years. Great folding frame. Love it! Build your own at 1/2 the price of any equivalent store bought machine. (Or twice the quality at the same price) If I were to build at an "DJI Inspire price point" right now it...

    APM wobble in the wind.

    If you have a tablet or laptop you can set waypoints through mavlink using mission planner or Droidplanner etc. I have a 7" tablet that I can attach to my TX handle, but I've never got around to using it. The problem is that flight Controllers fly pretty twitchy and jerky compared to humans...

    Ouch no kidding about not feeling the love! As a T-Motor lover this makes me nervous. Thank you for the report.

    Tarot 2d gimbal moving on its own

    It could be what I call sensor drift.. These IMU chips are mass produced for pennies for the cell phone manufacturers so tolerances and quality control are barely existent. Some of them tend to drift around when they are idle. Others are not internally aligned and tend to add roll when you yaw...
