    Inspire 1 Owner's Thread

    It might be interesting to know did DJI learn of GoPro's intention to build their own drones before coming out with the Vision or did GoPro decide to build MR's in response to DJI offering its own camera? I think that having a proprietary camera system on the Inspire is a very BAD marketing...

    Help building autonomous GPS quad

    Sure, but don't over think it. When your starting a business or launching a product, going through this very process is important, it helps you develop your message, along with feedback for dealing with criticism, as well as think of things you might not have innitially thought of. So just...

    Help building autonomous GPS quad

    I don't think its an issue of whether Bart approves, probably more of an explanation of why your being met with some skepticism. Nothing wrong with being excited about what your developing but try to explain to people why you think it will benefit them. And keep in mind that as a new member...

    Really well done. Sure would like to have seen that shot with a GH4.. Just curious if 4K would have made a noticeable difference.

    Help building autonomous GPS quad

    Not sure I understand what this is? It works with Pixhawk? So it just manages the mission control and not a flight controller?

    Phobotic Centerpiece Brushless Gimbal Controller

    Wow, Rusty's going out of business? I think I purchased one of my first Hex's from him six years or so ago. Sorry to hear that. Jakubs foldable frames are very well designed. Might not be as quick and easy to fold as an S900 but they are as rigid as the unfolding version which makes them...

    Music for a showreel

    One of the challenges is finding good music that doesn't sound like 80's corporate music and is easy to search. Some music is a little more expensive, but not all and its a very easy site to search, create playlists, favorites with a wide variety. https://www.musicbed.com/

    GoPro will soon be manufacturing drones.

    I'm pretty sure GoPro can make much better MR's than DJI can make cameras.

    DJI Livecast is happening right now. new announcement hasn't happened yet

    I don't think you had to be a rocket scientist to see this coming: http://www.theverge.com/2014/11/26/7295731/heres-why-gopro-wants-to-make-its-own-drones Why DJI wanted to pick a fight with GoPro rather than partner with them is a mystery to me. I'm guessing that GoPro can launch a real...

    Amazon looking for multirotor operators

    Necessity is the mother of invention. There's a big difference between inventing something rather than engineering something. Where have all of those engineers been over the past six years while all of us non-engineers where developing innovative Multirotors?

    Bluerex this is not directed at you, at least not only you, I've just reached my tipping point with of this sort of comment. For the most part this is the "Professional" forum for MR's and as such everyone here knows the dangers associated with flying close and over people. Way too often...

    Representation for Commercial sUAS

    Just to make it official, nothing new in this press-release. I wonder how far this sort of legislating from the bench will go? I guess it will continue until people get the courage to stand up for themselves. http://www.faa.gov/news/press_releases/news_story.cfm?newsId=17734

    Phobotic Centerpiece Brushless Gimbal Controller

    Are there any 3-axis landing gear gimbals that the CP works with? I'd heard you were working with Jakub to make his V2 gimbal work with the 3-axis, did that ever work out?

    Flying a GH-4, would you go for a DJI S900 or a well built Skyjib 6?

    Although build quality is important its not the reason to choose one over the other. Sure the fit and finish of the Skyjib is much better but their both Hex's and will perform the same type of mission comparably. Where the quality comes into play depends more on how often and in how you use...

    Representation for Commercial sUAS

    I pointed this out in the other thread talking about this case: "The trouble for hobbyists is the definition of "Aircraft" now includes "model aircraft" and it spells out the applicability of this definition. So this means that with respect to careless operation model aircraft are regulated...

    NTSB Court Rules on FAA vs. Pirker Appeal...18nov2014

    Maybe a bette questions is it as bad as it looks? How much would somebody even pay for this? All this trouble, negligence and drama over such a crappy video. What's also amazing is that it doesn't have that many views.
