    XAircraft Xaircraft ESC questions

    Can you get good OPTO ESC's with the BLHeli already loaded like the SimonK? I tried flashing an ESC with SimonK and didn't much care for the experience.

    XAircraft SuperX

    I put that on a T-shirt and everyone loved it, except teachers. The irony here is the hypocrisy of posting this on a social media site...

    XAircraft SuperX

    Again, I'm not making excuses for them, I was simply trying to point out that if their relying on feedback from these forums to help determine the effectiveness of the manual and about 35+% of the comments are fanboys telling the rest of us we don't know how to read then that might change how...

    Hey, I told you not to post pictures of my boat online... Nice picture.

    XAircraft SuperX

    I don't want to make excuses for XAircraft but I'm doing a lot of work for some Chinese companies and there is definitely a cultural divide. I'm not sure how much influence their distributors have, I'm also not sure what their distributors are telling them. But they are probably reading...

    The next rig for Yonder Blue Films - "Less Is More"

    Did I miss which MR configuration you decided to build? What is the next rig?

    The Oregon videos are great? Did you produce the whole thing of just shoot the aerial? What camera did you fly?

    XAircraft SuperX

    The SuperX is bound by the same physics as all other controllers. There are a lot of variables as to whether a HEX will fly on five motors, there's a high probability that depending on the AUW and CG of a HEX that it will crash with other controllers that claim they can fly a HEX with a motor...

    The GoPro 3 (& 3+) Repository, everything (eventually) you'll need to know!

    That's been my experience too. Even with ProTune I can get the colors better but still not as good as I'd like. GoPro's a great little cameras for what they are, but there's just that GoPro look and I have not figured out a way to make it better.

    The GoPro 3 (& 3+) Repository, everything (eventually) you'll need to know!

    The lens at that link is pretty pricey. I got a similar lens for the Hero1 and I remember thinking it was expensive at about $65. What's the lens in the picture? I think everyone should own a GoPro but I don't think I've ever charged money for footage from a GoPro. When you consider how...

    The GoPro 3 (& 3+) Repository, everything (eventually) you'll need to know!

    That's the props casting a shadow on the lens. You can use a lens hood or tilt down slightly if you have to shoot into the sun.

    Hoverfly Hoverfly X-8s continue to be the work horse

    A reason that everyone is buying Phantoms is because everyone know about them. DJI has done a great job at marketing them. Probably most of the people buying S800's and S1000 are those that are upgrading from Phantoms and have never flown another controller. Most of the Pros that don't care...

    Hoverfly Hoverfly X-8s continue to be the work horse

    Quality is relative. I've had good quality things made in China. Its been my experience that DJI is not very good quality. There's always something about their products that I find most users making excuses or ridiculous work arounds to make it work as advertised. Phantoms are great...

    XAircraft Stella Gimbal

    You mean keep on topic like your previous posts. Whatever. Your right, its me, and everyone else who's tired of your snarky attitude.

    XAircraft Stella Gimbal

    David, you make giving people backhanded complements and damning them with faint praise an art form. You seem to be knowledgeable about the SX and RC in general but you'd rather correct 'they're' grammar or provide condescending advice. I think I read that you were retired, I would have...

    Giraffes are awesome. Loved the video. A friend of ours just returned from Africa, they stayed three nights at Giraffe manor. My wife was telling me about it and I couldn't help think what's the big deal. Now I know, very cool. A little over a year ago we were in Africa, the giraffes we...

    Hoverfly Something BIG coming soon!

    Jokes are meant to be funny... Paul, I'd be willing to bet Hoverfly is doing fine, they've probably just moved onto selling MR's for industrial use where they're willing to pay tens of thousands of dollars without all of the online drama associated with hobbyists. It might have been nice if...

    SERVOSTAB - a servo motor with build-in stabilization

    Price does seam a little steep, especially for a 3-axis setup. I have a Stella GoPro gimbal that works really well and another Alexmos controlled 2-axis gimbal for the NEX and I have to say that it seems that most of the brushless gimbals for larger than GoPro camera's don't seem to be working...
