    Am I dumb for wanting a Cinestar 6?

    I'm not sure about the limitations of i-movie but with 16 gig of ram I can scrub the timeline and see an instant playback of a complex render using FCP-X. At 299 usd I think it would be a worthwhile investment in time saving as you already have a good machine..

    Am I dumb for wanting a Cinestar 6?

    This is a standard Phantom with a standard 127 deg lens. I use many different platforms for my normal work which would include a 3 axis gimbal with a distortion free 60 deg or 72 deg. lens and a highly modified frame. That output will follow in the next episode. Maybe you have not noticed that...

    Dragonlink UHF - Issue with PPM to control a Brushless gimbal?

    Test the DL channel with a servo, if it works then it is the gimbal controller that has a problem.

    Gimbal suggestion for Gopro HD/Hero 2?

    I think you might want to change those prop drivers and the props. Too much overhang and props are too flexible. which can cause yaw problems.

    Am I dumb for wanting a Cinestar 6?

    Izzy has also a tutorial on using I-movie which is probably more in the price range of what folks will want to invest. Guess what, he uses some MR clips

    Am I dumb for wanting a Cinestar 6?

    Most of the agencies will tell you that the demand for full rez output from 5D's etc are on the decline as the bulk of sales is going towards smaller and cheaper file sizes. Most software now uses the word sharing instead of output. Why would anyone use a 60mb file when they are going to put on...

    Am I dumb for wanting a Cinestar 6?

    If you want to take it a stage further this takes some beating, It can deliver as good or better quality footage as any heavy lift device out there. I call it my Evo Phantom. It has 9x5 elflight props. and a completely new bottom end comprising of a three axis gimbal that is made from parts from...

    Am I dumb for wanting a Cinestar 6?

    Yes I do believe that you are going to blow a lot of money by doing that - Sorry... I would suggest you concentrate on getting the best out of what you have. Use a H3-2D then you can improve the camera with a 72 deg lens and you can use FCP-X to enhance what you have with GoPro plugins. Spend...

    Just getting into gimbals please help, what's a good controller?

    That one is made in China and is used by people like iflight etc. 88.88 bucks is the cheapest price I have seen for it. I had one sent to me for testing and it worked well.

    Alexmos IMU

    This is for the follow mode function. OK, after you have done your calibration as shown on the Alexmos site you should end up with the camera facing straight forward not looking up or down. It may want to immediately drift to the left or right as it tries to find one of several pre set...

    Denny Rowland gets arrested.

    Yep it's true, I spent 4 hours at the local Girne Police HQ while they made enquiries. Turned out that I was in the clear with my permissions but it also turned out that one of my competitors had tried to pull a stunt. I had to fight to get back my camera cards as well. At least I didn't get to...

    Alexmos IMU

    If you see any cross axis interference it is because the accel. calib. was not done correctly. The 3 axis boards work very well but you may get a slight drift on the Z heading over time. Needs a mag.... If you cant get the front to line up with the model PM me and I'll explain a way to fix that.

    Phantom 2 Vision vs GoPro3+ camera

    My tests show that the 9x5 E-flight props improve the yaw stab. which is quite good anyway with the standard props. With Cineform you can remove the fish eye if you remember to check the box in the preferences before converting. FCP-X does the rest. Done correctly it takes some beating. I have...

    Lithium polymer or lithium ion

    For those not familiar with the term KERS this is how it is used. It relies on very high charge and discharge rates not possible with Lipo's http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3UA7t8c5I6s
