Its easy to go political on this because it seems to be such a political issue, however, that's not really true. This isn't as political as it is systemic. Yes the FAA is a large bureaucracy, but if you look at what they've been mandated to do, their approach to solving this issue is quite...

How hard did you have to bank before the SuperX lost control? Was this a problem in all flight modes? The whole product support seems to be a cultural issue. Like a lot of support from China if you can get them to engage in a problem they focus on solving a problem quite well, but I get the...

I haven't had any experience with the team of developers for this controller but I tried using the Open Pilot CC board which was open source. Loved the controller, learned to hate the developers. I think its just kind of the nature of open source, good in concept with some exceptional...

A little pricey but looks like fun.

On RCGroups there's a bit of a debate about the efficiency of and X8 verses a Hex. The claim is that with the same motors, props, and payload the Hex is 5.61Kg and the X8 is 5.77Kg. The Hex hovers at 45A and the X8 at 62A plus the motors are 10 degrees hotter. So the claim is that the Hex has...

Anything is possible, I haven't built the Y6/Hex yet. How much bigger would you recommend? The KDE4012XF-400? And if so what size and brand of prop? Although the product description states that you can use up to 16" props for the KDE3510XF-475, the spec sheet only goes to 15". I emailed...

Sorry, this will be on a Y6 or Hex SuperX KDE3510XF-475 KDE 35A ESC's 15-16" Props 6S AUW approximately 5.5Kg/12lb. Zenmuse only works with DJI controllers, right?

What's a good gimbal for the GH4?

Is that a Jakub frame?

There's probably no single right answer but I agree with what your saying. However setting up failsafe correctly might only be part of the problem/solution. When I had my first fly-away it was when I switched from Manual mode to Attitude mode and it instantly went to full throttle and...

That wasn't so much a point as it was meant to be a joke...

As long as we didn't want to shoot in any national parks, weren't compensated for wining the competition, no one profited from our photos, stayed below an altitude that is yet to be defined, only did this for the love of flight - not photography, didn't use FPV to compose the shot, etc...

All the cine curve does is lower the white point then roll off the top of the log curve and raise the black point and linearize the bottom, that's what gives it the flat look then you can balance and add contrast in post. The problem is this is very effective in 10 bit log, like cineon or DPX...

That's an interesting article but it leaves out the one important step and that's how do you encode from the GH4's 4:2:0 codec to RGB 4:4:4? What software do they use? I'm encoding with MPEG Streamclip to ProRes (HQ) 4:2:2 but I doubt that the result is a true 4:2:2. I would think that the...

Yes it records 1080 @200Mb/s, but your still compressing it at 8bit 4:2:0. The difference in the higher data rate is that its not compressing it using a long GOP, each frame is an individual frame. I believe, but I don't know first hand that the GH4 sensor will output an HDMI 1080 at 10bit...

I might just have to get one of those just to check it out. That's certainly a possibility for aerial, it would be hard to give up 4K on the ground though.

Would you fly that thing? The GH4 has the same limitations as all the other DSLR's, 4:2:0 codecs, but with the right lens, something a little brighter with a bit more contrast, you can color correct it and get some pretty pleasing results. I just shot this with the "kit" lens, I also have...

Its probably not much comfort but its worth the wait. At least you'll get it soon. That was an Airstar Mongoose. 4K's a bit of a pain to work with in post, it would be great to have a recorder that captured directly in ProRes 4:2:2, 10bit would be nice. But I imagine these will be pretty...

I haven't built a gimbel yet for the GH4 so obviously I haven;t flown it, but I've used it twice just to see how well it works. This first video was shot when I literally took the camera out of the box, surfed the menus just long enough to switch to 4K, everything else is default. This was shot...

Very well done. Is the H3-2D a 2-axis gimbal.. If it is, then you certainly have your MR dialed in and very good flying. Even if its the 3-axis gimbal that was very good footage.
