    Batteries

    I'm moving up the food chain from 4S to 6S and would like your opinions on which batteries you like and why. Currently I have Turnigy nano-tach 6.0 4S 50c batteries on a medium sized quad with 13" props and 77oKV motors. I've had them less than a year but have had no problems with them. I was...

    Really nice footage. Looks like a fun area to live. The guys on the Unicycles are insane, who does that and when did unicycles make a comeback?

    GH4 vs BMPCC

    I have the Rokinon 12mm T2.2 Cine lens which is fully manual, is there a focus assist for a manual lens similar to the one available for the auto focus lens? Is there a way to zoom the image up for focusing?

    Hoverfly Throttlecur and hoverflypro

    Sorry for threadjacking a bit, curious, can you do the same thing for the YAW? Would dampening the YAW around the center help get rid of the slight left and right moves when changing the throttle?

    Lumix GH4

    Where it looked like it lacked detail was the boat, if you added a bit of contrast it would sharpen up the boat and make it pop a bit.

    I think we should start a thread for Pano's. I'd start it but I haven't shot any... How many shots, what kind of camera and lens did you use? Did you use a pano mount with the camera vertical, or did you just yaw around with the camera horizontal? I have an NEX5n with a 19mm or a GH4 with...

    Lumix GH4

    I think that depends more about how you plan to post the footage. CineD probably color corrects better, there's CineV which looks a bit more contrasty. But there's a lot of variables on what you do with the footage when you encode it or how you record it directly from the camera. There's no...

    Lumix GH4

    That looks great. I know this might be a bit old hat for those who have flown a Red or canon C300 but I get as excited looking at the footage from the GH4 as I did when we started flying GoPro's five years ago. I'm hoping the suite spot for a couple of years will be the GH4 on a Y6 or Hex...

    How many shots did it take to make that? I think aerial video is cool and there's a lot to like about it but that panoramic is awesome. Very artfully done.

    Motor Testing Equality- Independent and Unbiased

    You'll probably need to have done a lot of reviews for them to be valuable. If you tried charging for this service immediately not sure you'd get that many to sign up. As Kloner has already mentioned, there's a lot of opportunity to test most of the components we use. I'm not sure where the...

    Shot on S800 EVO with a Panasonic GH3, enjoy some scenics of Lake Tahoe!!

    I have these stupid sayings, one is with todays camera if you want to take cool pictures then just point the camera at something cool. Tahoe is definitely cool and there's a lot of cool aerial from that area. But if you want to make an interesting video then you need a more interesting...

    Motor Testing Equality- Independent and Unbiased

    What equipment would you need and how is the test defined? If you can standardize the test it might be a good idea to have more than one person testing to not only expedite the testing, I imagine this sort of quantitative information would be very helpful with the purchasing decision so there...

    I agree, that is really cool. I like aerial panoramas a lot.

    Pixhawk Feedback?

    Did you get your SuperX from XAircraftAmerica.com? I know the margins on all f this stuff are thin but they should stand behind this and then the manufacturer should make their distributor whole after it gets sorted out. That certainly isn't unique to XAircraft, it would be nice if Chinese...

    Commercial sUAS petition is live at Whitehouse.gov

    I may have quoted some of what you said but my comments were not targeted at you, I just meant to address some of your concerns, sorry for coming off preachy. The one thing that pissed me off and at the same time motivated me to get more involved was the ban on the national parks...
