    Can I get a little help here! NEED some email sent from professionals..

    I am trying, but they keep getting media attention. And my ONLy concern is that my clients always ask me "Was that you that did blah blah blah". And I have to keep explaining No it was not me. I simply asked these guys to think a bit more and they took offense to it and said I need to market...

    Can I get a little help here! NEED some email sent from professionals..

    Ok guys, so Bart posted a news story (click here) about a "aerial media company" in my home town Cleveland that has the FAA inspecting them for breaking a TFR (temp flight restriction). They have been the media baby for a local CH5 news. This "company" of "Professionals" flys a Phantom and has...

    Experiences with folding props or quick connectors?

    I get 10 min on 12,000Mha and around 13 min on 16,000MHa. But I ma pretty conservative with flight times. Also, most jobs, each shot is around 2 -3 minutes. So my Cam op keeps a running start stop stopwatch. And I just change batts at 10 min.

    A2 FC Firmware 2.3 - Here We ALL go Again

    Droider... I have my Uber Quad (U7, 80amp ESC, A2, Zen Gh3) on A2 and it's been rock solid for 25 flights. Completely predictable. Firmware 2.3. I am wondering if esc's matter to the A2. I had issues with Maytech ESC's and the A2 , but the 80Amp T-motors have been rock solid.

    XAircraft SuperX

    I've had the SuperX on 10 different rigs from Quads to Octos and the only problem I had ended up being a bad motor. Which took me 4 FC's 2 full sets of ESC's and many many head scratching sessions to find as the motors never had a crash or any issue and looked and felt great. Only when I took a...

    Ignorance is not a defense

    OK.. so to all of you responding.. what do I do. I get calls from media asking if this was me. I have a LOT, as in a LOT of money invested in my business. I am very professional, do not make mistakes and yet I'm getting calls because of these schmucks. Any thoughts on how to make them responsible?

    Choosing the right gimbal

    Yep Andrew and I are waiting for the Phobotic to come in. We have a few gimbals (Hexacrafter 3 axis) ready to go to test this board on the GH3/4 and a few other cams. After speaking to Roee a few times, I think he is the real deal. Looking forward to it!

    XAircraft SuperX

    What motors. The U7 490KV motors do not like 90% of the ESC's on the market. I know Kloner has some of the same issues I was having. Now T-motor recommends ONLY unsung the T-Motor 80 amp ESC and it's been flawless (runs hot, but they say it's ok!)..

    Ignorance is not a defense

    These ******** are the bain of my existence. They operate here in MY city. I have emailed them, confronted them everything. I being a non-douche actually called the demo company and offered to film the implosion for free so I could get the footage for my reel. They informed me about the TFR. I...

    How do I determine payload?

    Depends on what the rig is. On an Octo, the spacing between motors will limit your prop size. An 800 Octo would probably be around 12" props max. So it would be pretty hard to get motors and props that swing 12" props to get the lift needed for a dslr. Or take a 800 Hex, it can support 15"...

    Experiences with folding props or quick connectors?

    Folding props (good quality ones) ROCK. They actually cause WAY less vibration than normal props. Especially the 3 bladed ones. They take just a few minutes to balance, and the tiny hit in efficiency you take I think is worth it. To balance you simply weigh each blade and match them to the...
