    The Future of Propeller Technology

    A 3 blade 15" prop is ruffly equivilent to a 16.5" 2 blade. So if 15" is max, you would need to go down.

    The Future of Propeller Technology

    The best way to descend is while moving backwards or forwards, even if it's just a bit, coming straight down no matter what props will cause you to descend in your own prop wash. If you can even come back a little bit so the props get fresh air it smooths the descent completely.

    DJI 450 with Naza lite does weight make a difference in stability

    Ok, next suggestion would be to try and get the center go gravity to the center of the rig. Meaning if you hang the quad from the center by a string it would hang level. This will greatly help stability. Also balance props.

    What kind of forum is this?

    Yea, a forum that has probably 75% of the AV pros in the entire world on it is TOTALLY lame... Dude... Never mind.

    DJI 450 with Naza lite does weight make a difference in stability

    With a NAZA it will always hover at 50% throttle stick. What Moto means is 50% of the motor's power. What you need to do is weigh your rig. The MAX weight a 450 can handle with the stock DJI motors and ESC's is Take off Weight: 1,600g (3.5274 lbs) So if your rig is over 3.5 lbs AUW it's too heavy.

    They all gains at 1 and the height at .9 see how that treats ya. (but also strap some weight to it to simulate cam and gimbal)

    2015 NAB News: Blackmagic Micro Cinema Cam, Tiny, Drone-Specific Super16 RAW Camera

    Easy, small, portable, decent image. My dude is still flying his Phantom 1 after 1000 flights. I've avoided them, but now if I want to take a rig with me to check out something , or fly in a tight space, or just supplement ground production with a small aerial I can bring one small case and get...

    2015 NAB News: Blackmagic Micro Cinema Cam, Tiny, Drone-Specific Super16 RAW Camera

    Blackmagic cameras are video cameras. No stills. But with RAW and especially 4K, just pull a still form the video, it looks great.

    Dromida ominous quad

    From what I have read, you would need to take apart the transmitter and swap sticks, there are no software mode changes.

    How the Pros fly

    The real answer is... Do what works best for YOU. If your end result is amazing and you programmed everything and didn't touch a stick... who cares, the footage is what counts! :D

    What hdmi to composite converter for your gh4?

    I have tried the $120 Kopterworx ones and the $30 "White Boxes" and they all work perfectly. I actually like the "white Box" as the case is easy to mount to stuff. Avoid the "micro" PAL/NTSC converters as I have never had one actually work with NTSC, the vendors usually just lie about it...

    If it's like the gear on the Mōvi M5 it's like 12 bolts and takes about 5 minutes.

    How the Pros fly

    1) FPV is illegal for AV work, so it must always be LOS. 2) There is no right answer. My friend ONLY flys in Manual he has NO GPS connected to his system. He is successful that way. ME I have 20= years stick time and I still like GPS. I tune my rigs to be as smooth as possible in GPS and fly...
