Ah, I didn't look carefully enough - missed the chart legend, my mistake. However, the scorpiions are significantly heavier than the Avrotor or Axi 2814 (both just over 100 g.). The Scorpion comes in at 166g with about the same thrust as the Avroto (25A). I might be reading it wrong. Perhaps...

I have a similar problem with my little quad. It is usually into the second flight of the day (this not with DJI - Gaui 344). In my case, I suspect an overheating problem with one of the electronic components but short of swapping one ESC out at a time, and then swapping out the FC, I am not...

What are you trying to lift? That might be a good motor but it is larger (heavier and draws more power) than what I am using. The bigger question is what are you trying to lift. a better match for your Xoar props would be Avroto 2814. http://montorc.com/M2814Shaft.aspx The Scorpion motors...

Here is an updated version of my build spreadsheet. I have included the weight of items that will be part of the ship in the calculated weight. Heavy Lift Droidworx Build Ordered Quantity weight Total Weight Droidworx Octo HL V3 √ 1 1,000 1,000...

Mac here as well - although both platforms do similar things, I would describe the Mac experience as more elegant. You can probably start with iMovie for video editing and if that is insufficient, then you move up to Final Cut Pro. I really can hardly stand working in Windows but you know it...

Jeff, Nice smooth footage with rich colours. However, the exposure seems a bit dark for my liking but I notice most Nex footage seems to be like that. You folks have done quite a bit of experimenting with different cameras for video. ...so far what setup (camera/lens) gives you the best video...

Well that part of their marketing maybe slightly off and it will probably cause folks some grief. This may cause me pain because I have ordered the Maytech 30A for my build but I would be surprised if those don't work. That said, DJI may still be the best option out there unless you are into...

I was worried that the heavy lift build would stress the 30A. However, Ken confirmed that the 30A ESC is fine as long as you stick with 4s batteries. You will need the 40A if you go with 5s. ....so I will probably go with 4s battery and go with the 30A.

What make of props are you using?

I read somewhere the Pulso's are not compatible with the DJI. I am struggling to find ESCs in this range as well. Most of the recommendations are for HobbyWing (Fentium) or Turnigy plush - but the reviews on the 40A plush is not favourable on HobbyKiing. I contacted montorc.com and they...

Yes, ovdt and Boris, I was starting to think the same. There are various components that I want to wait for. One is the camera gimbal, I want to do more research and as Boris suggests things could change before spring. Boris, any timeline on advances in camera gimbals? The other item I have...

What do you think about this for going under a droidworx Octo frame? http://www.ebay.com/itm/220884706266?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

Thanks for the info - there is a thread on the RCgroups where a fellow uses wood frames and has no vibration. It just blew me away, he sat his GoPro on top of the wood frame with no dampening material, no gimbal, and no software stabilization and got perfectly smooth video. I wonder if the...

The calculations were base on the 2814 motor. Oh, I already ordered the AXI 2814/22. That is the only thing I have bought - I finally found a source and they had it in stock, so I thought I should go for it before those were gone. However, I may be lowering the payload I can carry with that...

Oh, I see that now, yes that does free up the T & R ports for gimbal control. Thanks for the clarification.

I am concerned that even with S-Bus adapter I would still need all 8 ESC ports for motors. It appears to me from this diagram that the camera gimbals are used up by the 8 motor ESCs regardless of wether you have a s-bus adapter or not. I don't think I gain anything with s-bus adapter.

Boris, Thanks for you input. I was going back over your comments about the CS frame - I thought you meant the DW CS frame, now I assume you were talking about the cinestar, sorry my previous comments were off base - that looks like a fine platform but a bit more expensive than DW. In terms of...

Is this what you mean? http://www.snhobbies.com/product_info.php?products_id=3610 ...so if I used that, it would free up those two channels for camera control even though I would have an octo configuration?

I was going through the WK-M manual and found this, see attached image. Does that mean if you do the octo configuration, that you sacrifice camera gimbal control?

Interesting video on the AV200 http://www.1001copters.com/lang-en/stabilised-camera-mount/59-enhancement-kit-for-av-200.html What do people think of the AXI 2814/22 short shaft? Would that do the trick? I am having trouble tracking down any specs on it. Ah found the specs: SpecificationAXI...
