It is great when they get off the ground without flipping and breaking something. Excellent.

I think this is the cinema series - they just came out with a different name. Note, they haven't announced the price yet based on the pricing of their other products, it will be a pretty penny. Could be a nice match with the dji flight controller.

I did a search and couldn't find this topic so if this is already a thread, please redirect us. There is a new flight controller being produced by a company (DJI) and the videos are impressive - but more impressive is the company who is producing it - has had a lot of experience with heli...

I just moved to FCPx. Still learning it but quite powerful for doing unique kinds of things by layering effects. Still learning, so the jury is still out but impressed so far. Every-time I think I have hit a bug or problem with the application, I discover that it just does things differently...

...so am I to understand that most of the folks doing this with two TXs, have the same as Macsgrafs, one TX controlling the aircraft and the other controlling the camera without any camera levelling signal from the FC?

I have been wondering the same thing. If you have the main controller board adjusting for the MC's movements, then how you do setup another transmitter to override that and make manual adjustments? According to Tony, it is either one or the other - or is there a way to do that. I know most...

A rain drop probably is not the cause. Fatigue might be an issue. When I was working with my Gaui the original suggestion was to use locktite on the prop adapters to keep the nut on because there was so little thread left for the nut. However, folks quickly discovered that the locktite was...

Photoship One has a number of choices - these maybe overkill for the size of camera you have in mind: http://www.photoshipone.com/products/3xpro/ http://www.photoshipone.com/products/mktr/

pootman, I don't think you have mentioned what you intend to use for a battery size and specs. Any thoughts on that for this setup?

pootman, Curious, I just ordered almost the same setup. We will have to compare notes. The FC decision is fuzzy - Time will tell.

Now that you point out the issue, it seems obvious. Thanks for the education.

How would anyone like myself with an untrained eye ever know that the board was bad? How would I know what to look for in a physical inspection?

Thanks for the responses on this question, and your feedback helped clarify and reinforce concepts. The Droidworx spec recommendations is also a useful resource that I hadn't seen before. That helps give me a good sense for the direction I need to go.

I am trying to figure out the proper motors and props for a X8 design. I want to keep my options open so let us say I want to lift a 5D - camera, frame, mount, and electronics weigh in at 3667g 8 motors and each has 820 g of thrust = total of 6560 g of thrust (Rob Roxxi) However, I have...

That landing frame looks like it would get in the way of a camera - is that a problem?

....so you were saying there is a problem with using Spectrum transmitters with MK? This won't work then? http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=SPM2800US#quickSpecs I don't know if you have seen this but it has some incredibly useful features for AP applications (e.g. the...

Ah, no CHDK that is a disappointment. Good to know your hack is working well - I might come back to this thread at some point in time to look into doing something similar once I commit to a camera. This one is on the short list.

I am just a novice to this AP stuff but wouldn't you be better off just using the CHDK to take a steady stream of photos and use a microcamera placed on the camera mount to view what the camera is seeing (in a general way)? ...or are there good reasons for trying to do the hardware hack on this?
