YA I'm really interested in the RX100 Mkllll too CameraJ. Not sure about the video out. And another possible gotcha is the 5 minute record limit in 4k mode... but if you have a remote trigger you can always start/stop in the air so it's not a deal killer. Philip Bloom has a good hands on...

You may also want to have a look at the new Sony RX100 mark FOUR. It'll be out in a couple of weeks

They run on alternating current (AC). The ESC's send pulses at or above 400 times per second. Because there are three wires (and the esc is essentially a computer) it can send forward or reverse direction commands. So, this is what's happening, the esc is sending fwd and reverse pulses very...

Oh great. That's the set that I have and am installing tomorrow! But I can say that I have searched extensively and haven't found anyone complaining about them. I can't say that about Tarot and a few others that are getting a lot of complaints. The only non working report I saw for Arris was...

So I posted this in the Taranis thread over on RcGroups and got some good news... here's my post then the reply: And the reply from Noircogi: So it looks like we're good to go on the reassigning channels on the Cam Op radio :)

Damn that's a pain. I'm doing downtime right now too while I get a new gimbal up and running and switch to retract landing gear, so I can relate to the "jobs passing us by" bit.. The phone is ringing and I'm having to make excuses.. not good.. BUT I found some more info for us.. see my next post.

I should really brush up on my Taranis functions before I make a newb out of myself lol! But, I'm wondering if the stick assignment is a radio-side function. IE the channels are assigned before they get sent to the modules... In which case my idea could work. BUT I don't even know if its...

Hey PT can you simply reassign the Cam Op's Taranis sticks to different channels? (So they would match the channels that you're using on the pilots TX) That would be easier, if supported, than switching profiles on the AlexMos..? I'm seriously considering going this route... I have my finger...

Word ;)

I'll add that the Tarot shoulder screws are crappy soft metal. I use DJI shoulder screws as a replacement... Do a search and you'll find a source. The only good thing DJI makes lol

That's good to hear Stacky. I'm planning to build a coax in fall myself for all the reasons you and Sleepy are talking about. I'm in Vancouver and we get a strong sea breeze pretty much continuously... It makes sense that coax's are more stable if only because they present a smaller over-all...

Everything above is right on. However for agriculture/mapping you want as long a flight time as possible to fly grids. This generally means large/huge props and slow turning motors. You'll get better efficiency but it'll be more of a floater. For agriculture your not as worried about stability...

I'm sure you'll find you don't really need roll control except occasionally. For single handing pitch control is the key one, and if your yaw follow mode works well you can pan with the copter on SOME shots. ;)

Thanks for taking the time to type it all out PT. Most appreciated. For profiles: did you try power cycling the AM board after changing profiles? I don't use AM but I know some other boards require an on/off cycle. PS: you may have just convinced me to switch from Futaba to my Taranis.. I've...

Man that's genius! I second the request for any type of breakdown on the details. I have a Taranis but I've never used it as I find it pretty confusing to my Futaba trained brain. BUT I'm pretty sure il be buying a second Taranis soon! :) Thanks for sharing your setup ptaylor999 ... brilliant

I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around how you're using this to swap between 1 man and 2 man setup. So for single operator you're using the module in your pilot's TX to control the multirotor and the gimbal bound to two RX's one on the MR and one on the gimbal.. Then what? lol Do...

Very interesting products indeed. Subscribed

Aside from your condescending tone I agree with some of your points. I am in fact familiar with economics of scale. And I'm intimately familiar with FFS's history and products. I'm in engineering and product development myself. ;)

Agree about the Alta. FF doing what they do best: hype I can't see any reason to mount a camera on top... 99% of what you want to film is on the ground anyway, and the props and booms would be in the way lol. And if you do want to film upward, a tripod or a jib with a zoom lens will work just...

I've found the Xoar props lose me a little flight time compared to similar carbon blades. After a LOT of $ I've found the Foxtech Supreme Lites to be smooth quiet and best flight times :)
