    Really nice aerial Panos. What camera,lens and gimbal did you use? Ben, I just noticed that the link that I posted earlier went to the the generic brushless gimbal page, this is the mount that I was trying to show: https://vimeo.com/86958058 What do you guys think of this?

    Batteries

    Have you received you new batteries? I search on the Hobby King website for those batteries but didn't find them, what are they called?

    Batteries

    I want to use a 3S gimbal controller, is it better to get an additional battery or some kind of voltage regulator or step down from 6S to 3S? If so what would that be? Also, if I had some sort of voltage regulator that went fro 6S to 3S would it also work with 4S to 3S?

    Flight Controllers down under

    I'm from Geelong, but I live in California so I'm not really local. Switching flight controllers can be a never ending source of frustration. How much camera do you hope to carry? In the entertainment industry here in California there has been a trend for "bigger" Octo's. Its a ****...

    Pixhawk Feedback?

    I did, thanks. You obviously didn't receive my reply? I've been loading a lot of data using Box.com and it takes over my computer so I'm never quite sure if I'm sending out email whether it went or not while uploading. I'll reply to it again. Sorry, I didn't mean to imply anything with my...

    Pixhawk Feedback?

    Technically if you put larger props on it then you did change the power/thrust. I've tried to constrain my opinions about DJI, people who have them love them and don't need to hear me complaining about it. But I'm very reluctant to use any DJI product commercially. I know some have with...

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

    I don't want to be "internationalists" but I would prefer that the components I use were made in the US but short of that I would prefer that they are not made in China. Although most of the Chine's components are cheaper its been my experience that they just aren't that reliable and thats...

    National Parks RC Aerial photography policies

    Unfortunately that has little to do with MR's and everything to do with the fact that we live right next door (In LA) to 12 million of our closest friends, so you need a permit to take a crap. I totally understand the issues of privacy and safety, the trouble I'm having with it is that we now...

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

    I understand that but I'm a bit disappointed to learn that KDE doesn't make their own motors. Like I mentioned I was under the impression they did. That doesn't mean their motors aren't good. What German motors are available? Are they more expensive?

    National Parks RC Aerial photography policies

    Just because a bureaucrat makes a rule doesn't make it legal. Any government agency has a process they must follow to create laws that are not arbitrary and capricious. The FAA has lost EVERY court case and a judge has stated that the cease and desist orders are not legal, all because they did...

    Pixhawk Feedback?

    I hadn't given it a whole lot of thought until now... Need any help doing stuff you can't tell anyone about?

    Did you watch the video? Yes it pans, it pans very quickly and it controls the camera. As soon as it starts rotating it starts shooting and you can change the number of shots to cover 360 degrees.

    What about something like this? http://www.alarydesign.com/phoenix-brushless-drive-gimbals/ Well the studying might not be a lot of fun but flying is about the best thing you can do with your close on...

    KDE XF esc's

    One thing that I like about this forum is the way everyone shares information, on other forum I'm a lot more skeptical that people are always trying to talk me into or out of a particular product based on their own biases and not from any actual data and there seems to be far less of that sort...

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

    I was under the same impression. I'm doing all that I can to engineer out as many of the Chinese components as practicable.

    Pixhawk Feedback?

    From all that I've read [which admittedly isn't that much] the Pixhawk seems like a good solution, I'm just not that technical so I tend to shy away from this sort of thing. As I mentioned I didn't have a great experience with Open Pilot. But I'm interested in giving it a go. I don't suppose...
