That's hilarious that you say that, The Dubro, because that's exactly what I just so happen to have. I bought one randomly and got that one and I swear by it also, they work very, very well.

It's like the gun debate, the government doesn't care if you have a gun because they have tanks and robots so go ahead and have a gun. If the government wants to spy on us they'll do it through our GPS tracking devices, oh I mean "smartphones", and through our credit cards and take pictures from...

Wow, yeah so let's go check the "used" section...wayyyyy too rich for my blood. Oh well, what's the night vision version run or even a low light version? It would be awesome to be able to fly at night and/or have multiple different cameras. I'd like to have a night vision camera and a regular...

I have the same experience only people ARE concerned with privacy. The first thing people mention to me is privacy and then they proceed to ask the standard thousand questions about it. I talk them down from all the "drone strike" stuff and act as an ambassador to this hobby. I think the biggest...

I read a few places that they are around $1k for the Tau 640 and I'm looking for the Tau 320, they also have a 160 version. I can't confirm the price anywhere though, maybe the Tau 640 is too new? No idea...anyone know? Example video on a multicopter...

I agree...well for night flying anyway, every camera has its own purpose though. FLIR wouldn't be great for night flying but it sure would be a cool option to have along with night vision. I may actually hook this up, I found a cool camera toggle switch. Problem is I'll need to get another...

Doug, why is it pointless? It would give you the ability to see when you are flying through clouds or smoke or in similar situations where normally you'd be blind. It can also help you locate people for rescue. The way I see it is my multicopter is multifunctional and I fully expect at some...

Let me start by saying I do not own a real DJI F550 and I have never used their propellers ever and I never would even if they were given to me for free. The reason why is for a long time now their propellers have been known to be garbage, they break easy and sometimes in flight (the old ones...

I hate to say things you already know BUT...here I go....fix your gimble of course, more flying shots and video and less stuff from the ground would be good. Flying blind is hard to get good shots but I'd say work on your approach angles and such when you get the FPV part up... Otherwise, the...

Tony, it has a lot to do with the way you put them on the balancer too. In my opinion they are all pretty much the same. The key is if the shaft is straight that the prop sits on and if there is as little resistance as humanly possible. You need it to spin freely and then you can balance it from...

Stop saying things I don't like!!! :) I want an FPV hummingbird so I can fly into your window and FPV your house, it's what we drone people live for apparently... Humming Voyeur, it has a special ring to it...

How cool is this? I've never seen a FLIR camera for FPV before. I think I may need to get one...for no reason other than just to have it, night flying? I need a night vision one, anyone know of one of those small enough for FPV? :) http://www.oemcameras.com/flir-tau-640-35mm.htm

I find, like most people, that people identify most with the word "drone". I use that word to defuse the issue. For example, I'll say, "This is my drone, it's a hexacopter, it has 6 motors and blah, blah, blah, it's a very fun HOBBY and I do this to film things I can't see from down here." I try...

Thanks for the link!!!!! And special thanks to the Kilby's...hope I spelled that right!!! Mad love for you and thanks for helping protect and admire this hobby publicly! :D PS Where do I get an FPV humming bird? LOL that was awesome...

The article you sent agrees with what I've been telling you and if you re-read the quote you included in your post you'll see what I was saying is exactly true. My quote.. "Also, legally, you own all the airspace above your property to infinity there is no limit." From your article... "...the...

Trial and error or experience from someone who's already done it. There are too many factors to be able to say one will work where the other one won't. Weight is a huge factor and will help determine prop size and if your model is heavy, bigger props will be required versus the opposite. 10" on...

Big brother is watching you!!! Fly safe, do few tricks, don't bother kittens...you'll be fine :) I've seen you fly Kloner, I don't think anyone is worried unless they have gills.

I have to agree with you here, as much as I love Team Blacksheep. I've watched all their videos a thousand times and they are the reason I'm into this hobby. It's foolish of them to fly around people like that, they border harassment sometimes.

There are laws that prevent you from being filmed while performing sex acts unless you are on public property so you are correct there, it only applies to private property and only when privacy is reasonably expected. You can't, of course, sell that without express permission from the people in...

Interesting and to be fair I never push them hard at all and when I build, I overbuild so I have pulled maybe 15A burst through my 40A ESC's. If you push them close to 40A they probably will burn out. I always figure, if they say 40A they're really 20 or 25A max and probably more like 40A burst...
