    XAircraft what is that smell

    Appreciate the response, if the biggest headache is Compass Calibration, that's a win! One thing DJI does very well is Keep it Simple Stupid in their FC Setups. I know some FCs perform very well but need an advanced degree in engineering... We've gotten decent at PIDs with the gimbals but how is...

    Adobe has released a beta lens profile for the DJI Phantom 2 Vision camera!

    Wow... Hmm now if Adobe would offer up native editing of their own DNG format we might have something... Have to admit though, good move on DJI's part. This is what GoPro should have done instead of continuing to push Cineform.

    Cleaning day at kopterworx and we have some stuff to sell cheaper ofc.

    Uhoh... Looks like somebody's changing to Nikon ;) ;) (PS, Interior Shooters that 17MM TSE is wicked sharp, perfect for small spaces and seldom comes up used. Most people who buy em, keep em...)

    DJI OSD MarkII Black Screen but still shows OSD info... Remember MK1???

    One of our DJI OSD MarkII just started showing the infamous Black Screen issue at random. I believe this was the issue with the Mark 1 and subsequent recall by DJI. Basically the OSD info still shows up but the feed from the camera goes black. Anyone else encounter yet with the Mark 2 as well??

    HDMI to AV Analog Signal Converter for most Camera

    All right Fred, have to admit I'm interested. Canon 5D2? Canon 5D3? Both are decidedly different. If you can show me a pic plugged in to either/both with a picture on the monitor I'm in and definitely more to follow.

    Bags for the travelling circus that is Aerial Cinematography

    Chuckling here... The Weller made me laugh. On a Key West gig and knew I needed to make a custom AV out connector. Being the wise flying chap that I am had this eventuality covered by stopping at a Radio Shack on the way and picking a battery operated soldering iron for 20 bucks, plus another...

    Brushless Gimbal for DSLR

    My intention was to advise folks that there were are some serious concerns regarding this (Musky) specific manufacturer/product. I think you've done a fine job of illustrating the differences. All the best :)

    XAircraft what is that smell

    Hello Drew, the part about GPS not fighting the Pilot is appealing. We fly a host of birds using DJI FC's. We've found a couple of stable versions of the DJI FW and as a result have had good results. However, have also had GPS dropouts which did NOT transition smoothly to Atti and were quite...

    Av200 indirect drive brushless upgrade demo

    Thanks Booma, planning to start this project this week. Was it principally a bunch of disassembly and bolt back together or did it require drilling etc. Got the schematics from PH but no instructions. From a brief glance looks like mostly bolts and reassemble..

    Brushless Gimbal for DSLR

    This looks like the Musky gimbal (w minor Roll Cage modifications) originally sold for 500.00 USD, not well supported by the manufacturer, the bottom tray flexes like mad, very difficult to balance, Tilt Bearing pops out all the time due to lack of race, not much space for AV outs (if at all)...

    Prop choice - APC or change to Xoar (or any other rigid props)

    Hey Red, how confident are you in that statement?? I use a lot of XOARs and it would be AWESOME to have the same prop at the lower price for sure. PS. Iris is right, XOAR woodies take a lot of hub/blade balancing... grr

    Repairing T-Motors

    Yup! Don't re-use e-clips. Bought a BUNCH of Team Losi after losing them with fair regularity on our 550!! That little experience made it a part of our pre-flight for all our birds.

    Av200 indirect drive brushless upgrade demo

    Booma, do you have any basic PIDs on your 5D2 setup as a baseline?? Just got mine form Kim and will start putting together as time permits.
