here's the video from the GoPro on the demo. I wasn't shooting anything just cruising around for pictures..

Thanks. The show is actually August 23-24 so the following weekend. Quite a few of the photographers had Phantoms and were asking a lot of questions about the difference between hobby grade and industrial grade MR's. The Y6 that I took was incomplete, I left it that way because I wanted...

I attended the media day for the airshow, there was about 20-30 reporters, three TV stations the rest was either online or print. Lot of fun everything went well and the crowd loved the quad flying. Here's some pictures from before and after. I didn't take any during the event...

I'd like to have one but me and my wife did this just messing around and the camera gimbals was a bungee cord and piece of string. Not as good but a lot cheaper. The most expensive piece of kit was the car...

Unfortunately Hoverfly has just kind of evaporated. They used to be all over the forums, they were proactive with their support then one day they were just kind of gone. I was surprised you could still order the HFPro, especially with GPS. All of the controllers are different, you just have...

We flew a LIDAR Test a month or so ago, that thing is cool. I only got to see about 25% of the point cloud but even that was amazing how quickly you can fly a rectangular route at about 75' and the detail you can see is amazing. Its very cool to see how people want to start using these things...

I don't know either and I don't fly DJI anymore but when I did, I turned that feature off, flew with fully charged batteries for s specific amount of time, a minute, then measured how much I had to put back. Did that a couple of time to get a good average then extended the time to three...

So I'm guessing that a 2V drop is a lot? I built a Hex with inexpensive RCTimer motors, don't remember which ones, it was the first Hex I'd built so when I experienced a similar thing I thought maybe it was the 25C rating of the battery, the wiring etc., but it seemed to fly well just for...

I guess it depends a little on how you define "delay." I think that for sUAS businesses the FAA has unintentionally, or maybe intentionally stalled the market. I can't really know what motivates them but I agree with your overall assessment of the situation. This discussion is going a bit...

Curious why you don't use the XT90? Also do you know what Deans connectors are rated at? I find it challenging to solder the larger 10 gauge wire to the Deans connectors so I often solder 12 or 14 gauge "extension" between the two. I've never had a problem that I'm aware of but I know that's...

It took 50 years to go from B&W to color TV, it took almost 75 years to go from analog to digital TV and it has taken more than 35 years to go from SD to HD, in the US they are still broadcasting SD channels. So as much as it feels like technology is changing rapidly a little context would be...

How many hours and landings do you have? I'll say something that most pilots disagree with but it doesn't matter how you get down as long as you meant to do it. After a while you'll start shooting your approaches by the numbers, if you get your airspeed spot on, decent rate right you can...

I could still use some help. Here's my thoughts on creating a Press release, any input would be greatly appreciated. We need to figure out a way to support the FAA's efforts, not pick a fight with it, but at the same time educate the public about what's happening and that responsible small...

That would be great except I'm currently living in California. If you find yourself over here I'd love to go flying with you.

I'm from Geelong, so I do know it snows in Australia. Have a great trip and happy flying, look forward to seeing the results.

All righty then... You have both made good points, and yes forum are a place where you can put it out there for debate but debating the virtues of professional photography and who can or can't show examples of professional AP is becoming counter productive to the discussion about the PixHawk...

Great pictures! That place looks awesome from the freeway. Can you share any video?

August 23-24.

Thanks everyone, appreciate the kind words. Remember everyone who can't make it to the event itself it would still be hugely helpful if you could contribute some footage or help write the announcers dialog and press release. Kloner, interested in flying at the show itself?

Anyone interested in this please bare with me as I try to explain what I'm thinking. As some of you may be aware I've been vocal about wanting to organize people interested in building and growing small sUAS businesses. Also over the past couple of months I have received permission, along with...
