I am just curious. What happens now with just a Hoverfly Pro board if it loses transmitter signal? I am reluctant to try this. I would expect the airship to continue on its course given the last instructions from the transmitter - right? ... or does it fall out of the sky?

I am trying to do aerial photos/video here in Canada. In order to do that we have to be certified with Transport Canada. It involves submitting a proposal and negotiating rules for each flight, etc. I just got off the phone with a person from Transport Canada and she indicated that for...

It has been a while but... I was successful getting the ship off the ground yesterday - (after flipping it initially and going back and finding my orientation for connecting the wiring was opposite to what it should have been - don't ask, it is a long story) At any rate the minute or so it was...

Yes! Got off the ground yesterday. Thanks for the suggestions here, that really helped me go back and be diligent about checking those ESC Connections to the FC. It seemed quite stable but it did flip on landing I am thinking that was probably because it landed on in the snow (a bit...

I know from first had experience you don't want any touching the props - that will weaken and eventually break the props (bad news in mid flight).

I think what you are seeing is different perspectives from different folks and whenever you ask for comparisons or recommendations you will see differences. I have been using my Hoverfly Pro for the last 6 months. I have to say it is the easiest to setup and use (compared to MK or even DJI)...

Okay I checked everything... all the motor connections were correct according to my numbering of the ESCs - ...and then I realized I had the entire ship turned around I had put on some foam coloured landing pads and because those were put on wrong (the front was now the back and the back was...

I tried putting the 14 inch APCs on my AD8 HLE with extended booms and those were too tight, I didn't even bother trying those - went with 13x6.5 . The Droidworx website mentions the 14 inch as possible with the extended booms but they must have been some kind of super extended version. Still...

I have just finished my Octo build, calibrated orientation, used Att mode to try and take off but it immediately flipped from front to back as I tried to take off and dug into the earth. No real harm done but my stomach kind does a flip and then there is this sense of frustration and...

I am actuality using the Hoverfly Pro FC but I sense it has similar problems to the MK in this regard. I went back and looked more carefully and the problem gets worse by the end of the shoot. I will redo the bench calibration on the gimbal controls and see how it goes.

Yes, I noticed that as well. I will have to explore that issue further and look into the FC gimbal controls (although I thought I had set it up to be horizontal). I didn't have any video downlink so yea, I was just flying blind.

Here is a first attempt with some post stabilization:

Thanks for the help Crinson, I will try the mix switch approach with my DX6i as well.

I will give it another go but I am pretty sure I did it very carefully and followed all instructions. All I got was flashing red lights. How quickly do you switch back and forth - as fast as you can do it or do you pause a second between? Okay.... I tried it again and it worked this time...

I haven't seen anyone question the price of this. To me that is a show stopper no matter how good it is. Please explain to me how this product is $2,000 better than something like this - beyond being 3 axis: http://www.quadrocopter.com/CineStar-2-Axis-Camera-Gimbal_p_408.html Confused by the...

DaveM, I tried your approach but it didn't work for me. Marlo

so... if I can't do the calibration because I don't have a 3 position switch, is that a no go?

I am trying to use my DX6i with the DJI WKM controller. This is a new build so I am novice with WKM. Everything seems fine until I get to the calibration point and it says to use the control switch and quickly go from switch 1 to switch 3. I have setup my flaps switch for Manual and GPS mode...

I am wondering the same - is it possible to retrofit the CS gimbal to a droidworx (e.g. octo) frame? I have asked around before without any answer. I am sure it is possible but just wondering if there is an easy approach.
