That was amazing on so many levels. Not only great aerial perspectives that you wouldn't even think were shot from a MR, great cinematography, editing, subject and music. With the state of camera's today I always say if you want cool shots point the camera at something cool. It doesn't get...

I have a 7lb (3.2Kg) Hex with 30amp ESC's, Turnigy D3536 (1000Kv) and 10" Graupner E-Props. I'm using a NAZA Vs 1 so the throttle has always felt kind of strange to me but it lifts off at about 75% throttle and hovers a little less than that. I've only flown it with the larger camera and...

Although it can be fun for us to describe these things, nomenclature is important. MR's have been lumped into the same classification as Drones and UAV's, so when I've tried to explain what a MR is to friends they'll reply negatively "its a Drone?" This is a little long but it is interesting...

Thanks guys.

Thanks for that information. What is considered long battery wires? My ESC's are mounted external on the boom, motor wires are about 7", battery wires are about 12". I've never had any problems related to this that I know of. I thought it was better to have the ESC in the prop wash for...

Yeah, I was talking about the handheld gimbal, although I thought they were one in the same? Which Gimbal are you flying?

Thats insane. Looked like a great time.

I don't get it? The Sky Hero is cool I guess, $600 is kind of pricey for a frame no matter how fancy it is. Plus I don't see what HFPro has to do with it?

Hi Paul, I have a HFPro board that has never been used that I'm selling, if your interested in making some sort of trade for your Quaternium gimbal let me know.

What's a Super-X? It sure seems that interest in the HFPro has waned significantly. Such a bummer.

Hi Ray, I agree that nomenclature is important. Its interesting but I've noticed that people who are into RC's tend to view regulating AP as a commercial vs hobbyist debate and don't seem to be as sensitive to the term "drone." Photographers who view MR's simply as a tool that enable them to...

Paul, which gimbal did you get for your NEX5? Also, how well do you like the Quaternium gimbal. I think the Hero 3+ might be a better AP camera than the NEX5 especially since it shoots 2.7K @ 48 FPS. I like 1080 @ 60 FPS but its too slow when you use it in a 24 FPS timeline. It appears that...

I'll have to check that out. Do they make one for the NEX? What controller are they using?

I mounted my gimbal on the same handle you used to mount the MobiGo, I got it at some trade show for about $20. It works pretty well but no matter how hard I try you can still see the "walking bounce" in the footage. Its easy to turn this thread into a discussion about hardware, rather than...

Its been ages since anyone has posted, what's happening? Has everyone given up shooting AP? Is everyone so busy that they don't have time to share their production/AP experiences here? Is there not enough value to this discussion? Is everyone tired of people posting shameless self promotion...

That is really cool and very well done. The only thing I don't understand is why at the beginning he claims that there's no film crew? Obviously there's someone else filming this, unless they have some sort of new follow me software for their quad... Not that it really matters its still...

Wow, that is amazing. I've done some rock climbing, nothing like that but I have friends that do and until you meet someone who climbs its hard to understand the intense focus and enthusiasm they have in their sport. This was so well done its hard to imagine how they did it. The music and...

I agree, like I said I'm a fan of this persons work. I'm just trying to stir discussion, not so much critique AP work but toss around ideas about how things might be accomplished differently, better or maybe even easier using a different technique for accomplishing the same look. There is...

I too have been watching that guy for a while and its interesting to see the improvement in AP over the past couple of years. When I first started there were some "pros" who posted some really nice footage while the rest of us posted footage of our back yards or local playground etc., now there...

I have a saying, if you want cool shots, point the camera at something cool." It doesn't get any better than that.
