No worries. Its gratifying to see how we have improved over the years... I was using the CP quite a bit and I had it working well with an NEX5 a medium 2-axis gimbal but I've been busy building and working on other things the past three weeks. I'm still on 1328, I've heard some encouraging...

Its really nice to see good footage from the ground and have a narrative, makes the aerial that much better. Are you traveling around shooting this kind of work? Nice work.

Wow, very nice. Considering how windy it was for much of the aerial, very well done. What camera, what MR and how long did it take to shoot? If I had to do that shoot it would probably take the rest of my life...

GH4? Narrator had an odd accent and way of saying "water." Great voice though. Nice work.

I think your making the wrong comparison: Phantom from B&H: 479.00 GoPro 4 Black: $499 Zenmuse HD-3D:$379 That's $1357 for a comparable quad that can accomplish the same mission, that's if you wanted to stay with DJI, there are other RTF quads that cost less. It can certainly be argued that...

The trouble is that everything DJI does is targeted at the consumer, its the market their in. But instead of focusing and improving their products for that category of customer they immediately start positioning it to try and compete in a different market category. I'm not saying that isn't...

Like I said earlier this is a cool design and I have no doubt that DJI will sell a lot of them, certainly more MR's than I'd sell.. However I think they have positioned this product incorrectly, cool does not translate into a professional market, its basically a more expensive replacement for...

Its interesting how the Myth Busters just admitted to breaking the law for two seasons, not to mention that I'm sure DJI didn't have a COA for that "commercial" demo. It certainly builds on DJI's cool factor but I'm not sure I consider this any sort of game changer.

Why is it that every time someone shows a video where there's some flight over people or at an altitude that might be higher than 400' we get into the same incessant debate over regulations? I've sometimes been known to drive above the speed limit, ride my motorcycle without a helmet...

Nope your not that lucky, drones are prohibited in all national parks in the US. So I wouldn't plan the trip around the idea of just shooting aerial, however, all of the places you mentioned are vast areas, if you use common sense, don't bring out your quad in the presence of other people and...

Isn't Kenya great? I spent about a month sooting a documentary I always heard people say how much they enjoyed Africa but its so difficult to explain to anyone who hasn't been there what its like. I hope you don't mind that I post some of what I shot there as well. Its funny how when people...

That's actually some nice aerial.

Curious how many poles the motors have? As I understand it SimonK firmware has timing issues with higher pole count motors (18-24). If its the same motor that's stalling then you might try switching out the ESC with one that doesn't have SimonK firmware and see if the autotune will complete...

They offer a product that costs less than $500, if you ignore the R&D costs for a moment, the cost of goods sold is probably less than $50. There's little to no margin for resellers, yet they do what they can to help, probably mostly to protect their own reputations. If you send your original...

On my Y6 with 475KV motors, 15" props running on 6S my gains are at 1.4. Obviously everyone's idea of stability, mission and comfort are different so there's not a one size fits all, but if when your in GPS its solid in position but doesn't hold altitude well then I'd start upping the gain. If...

Guys this thread was intended to inform others about the launch and website of a new advocacy organization, the ACUAS.org and to hopefully recruit members. Its great that we're debating the virtues of the FAA regulatory process but all of this debate on this thread will have little if any...

I've flown at about 9000 ft MSL, it was a little soft, actually flew a lot smoother than at sea level but I was running 10" props on pretty high 770KV motors with an all up weight of about four pounds. I used to fly UH-1's in the army and 14,000 ft MSL is higher than the service ceiling with...

Thanks

I want to upgrade my basic (4) to a standard (6), how do you do that? I didn't see anywhere on XAircraft's website to pay for the upgrade? Thanks

Tha was awesome! Nice tracking, great concept, well shot and edited. Is that Truckie?
