    New quadframe brushless gimbal

    http://quadframe.com/collections/cm/products/bldc_g_001 Here's my first video from it. Not impressed so far. Vibes...flutter...failing to level...and a strange and permanent tiny oscilation in the pitch axis. It was windy though, which does explain some of the symptoms.Also, I'm passing pitch...

    Tiger Motors 4014 330kv or 400kv - which would you chose.

    Interesting thread this. I'm looking at 400kv with 6s as well, but ecalc has the best flight and hover times with the 4012-11 400kv's and 15" props. This was for a heavy quad, admittedly.

    Aural Aesthetics of Propellor Noise

    I like to blast around on my 3508-29 (380kv) 14" CF prop equipped quad. If you bank hard right above you while at speed, it sounds like a spitfire...:nevreness:

    White smear on screen - MinimOSD + GoPro2 + fatshark tx

    Yeah, did all that before I posted. It's the gopro, so nothing changed there - only in the goggles. I can get it to vanish on the altitudes, but only by completely blacking out everything else! It's very similar to the old effects you used to get on old TV's. Is the MinimOSD not getting enough...

    White smear on screen - MinimOSD + GoPro2 + fatshark tx

    Ok, I've tried to replicate the error a bit better, using powerpoint. This might make is clearer what my problem is. Video with no minimOSD feed = good minimumOSD figures = good

    White smear on screen - MinimOSD + GoPro2 + fatshark tx

    Hi guys, Anyone else seen this? It's not a great pic, but I think you can see the white bars corrosponding to the same location as the minimOSD text on the screen. (though this picture makes them look much worse than they are). No matter what I do, I can't get the bars to fade away...

    When the trend is for random blue screen flashes, low res, glitching, jellies and non-gimballed footage, ill know my time as a video guru has come.

    Cost no object - what would your MR look like?

    oooh, I totally forgot that one! A good contender indeed...

    Cost no object - what would your MR look like?

    We can all dream, so I will...it doesn't need to be the most expensive kit in the world - that would be too easy. But if you had all the cash in world, what would you build that you would be able to practically use? Here's mine: - quadframe OCTO Pro (www.quadframe.com) + legs + battery saddles...

    new and suffering from info overload....

    I have 2 APM's and they're not a huge time eater - they can fly out the box on standard settings, for most 450 quads. I did one calibration session, and one PID tuning flight, and that was it. I do like them. What has been annoying is the new compassmot procedure in 3.0.0 (which is slightly...

    Aeronavics / Droidworx Skyjib Flight Times

    You and me both - perhaps I should have been clearer; I don't have a skyjib, but do wonder how you can get any shooting done in 6 minutes.

    Nothing fancy - just slapped gopro on trainer quad after 50% battery used, and went for a blast. Evening shot in Switzerland. Total flight time - around 18 mins. Bit of an aggressive landing, and there's a freak out event at 56 seconds, which is as yet unexplained (APM 2.5 with 3.0.1rc1)...

    brushlessgimbals.com Cinestar conversion - any good?

    I bought some tmotor 2208's off them. Arrived in a week (ie quick), everything was fine. It's not without some irony Iscorama that you linked to Alibaba. aka "Knock off clones r us" ;-)

    Aeronavics / Droidworx Skyjib Flight Times

    6.30! Holy moly...Can you actually get any shooting done in that time? I recon for a good shoot (multiple reshoots) you'd want at least 15 mins?

    Safety is no accident

    Pretty sure the one that killed those poor people was a SR. I doubt the public will distinguish between acrobatics or heavy lift unfortunately.

    Best gimbal for tmotor 2208's?

    Bit of a strange one this...I have a set of tmotor 2208's spare, and need to decide which gimbal to slot them into to run a gopro2. my gimbal criteria are: - must not require mods to enable use of 2208's - camera tray must be suspended at both ends, and non motor bearing must be good - anti...

    Ok, bearing in mind this is my *third ever* video, here we go - be gentle! :-) First day out with the gimbal, and the weather/light was awful. There is some noticeable flutter due to the damper balls being too soft, but I've fixed that now I think. Total gimbal cost: $230. Video 4 should be...

    Prop size for F450 with T-Motor MT2216 900kv

    Im flying tmotor 2216 900kvs with 1155 "training" props (I keep the 1145 tmotors for good days), powered by an 11,000 3S (See "laurel" in sig below). No fancy bells and whistles - it's a just a training quad. Flies ok, but it's no acrobat!
