    Promoting Commercial sUAS.

    Thanks guys. It seems that the interest in doing anything to allow or promote commercial sUAS in the US has all but disappeared, did something happen that makes everyone think this is no longer necessary?

    Regarding the beeps from your ESC's, there are some variables here, different firmware can cause the ESC's to beep differently, how you program the ESC's can cause the same thing. Usually you'll get a beep for each cell, so four beeps for a 4S etc.. But if the ESC's are flashed with SimonK or...

    Show what you filmed - Post Your Video Here

    That has got to be the definition of insanity. That guy is an animal! I always tell people that the best we can do as cinematographers is capture how amazing it really is, that was about the best marriage of technology and action I've ever seen. That guys is truly amazing and your work was...

    Promoting Commercial sUAS.

    I don't remember his name, he was very funny. A real potential problem for that plane is that he is the only pilot who has every flown it, when he stops flying they will probably just hang it in a museum. It was a very cool plane.

    Promoting Commercial sUAS.

    Since I wasn't flying and I didn't have a booth but I did have a shinny new GH4, I went around and shot the Camarillo air show. There's no aerial in this so I'm not going to post this is the video thread but I thought for those that offered to help and those that provided footage for the reel...

    Promoting Commercial sUAS.

    Shortly after the air show I had to go to New Mexico and Montana for three week and then it took me nearly a month to get caught up once I got home so I was not able to post this until now. This video was intended to capture the attention of people walking by the Static display booth for the...

    FAA and Hollywood, progress?

    I have stayed away from discussing this recent ruling to try and get a better understanding of what this really means to people who want to own and operate a sUAS business. For the moment, with the exception of those that received the COA it doesn't appear that this ruling has any effect on the...

    Introducing The Roflocator - Track your Multirotor Device with GPS

    I think that might be Gary's point, its hard to tell what I'm looking at from those pictures and mounting things under the MR is problematic if there's a camera gimbal. Just a suggestion but you might want to get a completed prototype mounted on different MR's so people can see, in context, how...

    Shaky/jitter footage...help!

    There are a lot of variable that effect the stability of aerial video. So the key is to isolate the problem before making random changes that might not have any effect on improving your footage. Here's the order in which I suggest you check out your rig: 1. Take the props off and start up...

    Phobotic Centerpiece Brushless Gimbal Controller

    I'm running 6S so I either have to use a BEC or separate battery anyway, how well does this controller work with 3S? I have a bunch of small 1250mAh 3S batteries, is that enough for a GH4?

    Pixhawk Feedback?

    That's a great resource, takes a bit of the mystery out of setting up the APM [which I imagine is very similar to the Pixhawk] setup. Thanks for sharing

    Pixhawk Feedback?

    R_Lefebvre, I recently sent you a PM and was wondering if you received it? I've been having trouble with Safari and not really sure it was actually sent.

    KDE Direct has added Multi-Rotor Heli motors to their lineup

    Wow, that's one hell of a MR to carry a GoPro.. Its also about the best fast forward flight I've seen from a GoPro, or any other kind of camera for that matter. Nice setup.

    Phobotic Centerpiece Brushless Gimbal Controller

    Obviously we want as level a horizon as possible but that's not the only, or even the best measure of how well a gimbal performs. The lens you use can have a significant effect on how the horizon is perceived. I see a lot of people complaining about the horizon and they're using a GoPro. The...
