    Weigh in on Sky-Hero

    From a design point of view, having the front arms longer than they need to be achieves nothing accept for some novelty factor. Plenty of good reasons why you should not use this layout.

    The best video monitor for FPV with my S800?

    I have a high end Swit monitor that is ok if the signal is good but it's not dedicated to the bandwidth and will drop out at any time. I found this all in one from Foxtech is much better and it can record video as well plus it has a built in Rx. I use a RC832 instead of the built in one as I can...

    GoPro3+ announced

    John I am using a standard DJI H3-2D Zenmuse gimbal on an upgraded Phantom at the moment but I also have a second one underway that has a set of high performance motors from Kopterworx and a dedicated 2800 Mah battery from Max Amps. This one will have my Tarot 2D gimbal with an additional pan...

    Good camera for aerial photography - with remote zoom functionality

    It depends on how much you want to zoom. A large amount has many problems with vibration and tracking the camera smoothly, it requires digital object tracking and the technology to achieve this is quite close but nothing that I know of is commercially available yet. The level of accuracy with...

    New GoPro Lineup... Well this sucks for me!

    Well you could spend some time playing with the cineform software and get a result that is probably just as good for all intents and purposes without spending your money.

    GoPro3+ announced

    Bart My friend Panicos at Full Moon Studios was talking about a preproduction 4 that he was asked to do some testing on. I never used it on a model. My testing is with a GoPro-3 and the full house PREMIUM Cineform software. In particular it's performance at very low light and it's ability to...

    GoPro3+ announced

    I have started a reel of just Phantom, when I get a few more examples of what it can do I'll post something. Went out again tonight and those lights on the underside are awesome for keeping orientation, looking down on Limassol through the Fatsharks from 1000 feet. Putting it through it's paces...

    DJI Zenmuse H3-2D Gimbal Problem

    I don't think it started the calibration or finished it. When this happens I usually reboot the system again and make sure nothing moves for a few seconds. Same with Alexmos. The problem that I have found is that there is no way to connect the iOSD mini to the new board and I could not get any...

    GoPro3+ announced

    Same here, after seeing the latest stuff I shot with my Phantom I am quite impressed with it. I also have one with my own frame and a 2 axis Tarot that has been converted to 3 axis with a alexmos upgrade to the pan. It is just amazing how easy it is to get really good stuff after a session with...

    Fat Shark Goggles

    It would, that is why we are talking 433 UHF LRS for the model control functions.... Long Range Systems are what most FPV people use to get greater range. It is a module that attaches to a standard radio and replaces the 2.4 module on the back of the Tx. 2.4 boosters are available also, but...

    Fat Shark Goggles

    I would go with that, tried um all with 433. Get the tuned version 2.4 Emersion with a yagi. Dragon link has the best range but will stomp on most stuff..

    What Hex does everyone agree is good?

    I just saw the latest brand new DJI Evo S800 in a dealers shop and I have to say that it is impressive, no flexing with this one. but When the GoPro4 becomes the standard for 99% of what you do then I would buy a Phantom and learn how to use it and the gopro software properly and you might with...

    Phantom upgrade board 25P330CB-H3-2D

    I finally decided that I would buy one to play around with and got the latest stuff. So anybody else done the upgrade as I am not sure about a couple of things. With the old board you had to have a GCU V1 hub to run the H3-2D. But the upgrade board has ports for the gimbal and the Video output...

    Anyone buy a PC laptop lately?

    My Macpro has started to give up on me after a few years, so I went out today to buy the latest in what used to be the flagship model. You cant get one in Europe for love or money so I guess I'll be throwing out my really great Black Magic Deck Link and I'll have to go with the trend and get a...

    Hoverfly What Makes Good Aerial Video

    Bowley It was about thirty years ago that I first started producing night aerials when other people in the industry just could not see how it was possible, especially with 400 asa film in a MF camera. Film had a better latitude than the first digital cameras so the technique that I used was to...
