    foldable X8 with 18" props

    Ferdinand, as the landing gear is part of the leg assembly is this frame limited to two axis gimbals only? Also how much additional slack did you need for the motor wires to ESC to accommodate the fold??

    Brushless Gimbal for NEX 5/6/7/550D or GF2

    Did some basic balancing and then Powered up the board. Got some lights and viola, it's alive!! That's nice!! The tilt started slowly creeping forward but I'm used to the Skyline trying to rotate itself to death and quickly pulled the plug. Not perfect but a great start!! So now, working on...

    Brushless Gimbal for NEX 5/6/7/550D or GF2

    Dan, can the camera tray board be relocated under the camera tray? If so does it still need to face up? Just started playing with the gimbal, getting everything balanced. The bottom of the tray has a bit of flex and could use another layer. So far the vertical tray adjustment system is well...

    Photohigher skyline rsgs

    Ahh bloody hell, you pointed me in exactly the right direction Iscorama and I missed it. :black_eyed: As to the length of time on the burnt out servo??? Less than 25 flights. Happened very fast, principally due to nut tension but the fact that any dust can go straight into the needle bearings...

    Brushless Gimbal for NEX 5/6/7/550D or GF2

    Hi Musky, Could you also please send me the firmware you used and the loader. OK. Good news. Just received the gimbal. Will post impressions as I go along. First impression is that that there is nothing in the box but the gimbal and a clear plate. No mounting method of any kind. No...

    Photohigher skyline rsgs

    Deep sigh... For those of you using AV200 w 360 Pan Kit. Be advised that the top nut (the big one) is WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY to tight from the factory. This results in a burned up servo. DBL CHECK the model # of your burned up servo as if you believe information posted elsewhere (av200 repair...

    NAZA is becoming dangerous!

    OK one last off beat suggestion. Was playing around with a mix to get a Fail Safe switch AND IOC AND Adjustable Remote Gains... and when I did it incorrectly, throwing the IOC switch resulted in my gains increasing by 100 points or so. Suspect you've got a bad BAD Naza but check your remote for...

    Picloc-3X PRO v2 vs Radian Stabilization 3 Axis

    Picloc vs Radian vs Skyline? Have the Skyline and its been nothing but pain. Jitters at any gains approaching useable. Rubbish. Considering Radian but sounds like picloc may be a better combo

    Super G2 Ultra stabi

    ^ Yup! Frankly more interested in the BMC4K and whether the loss of DR range still puts it in RED/ARRI territory image wise. If the image holds, then no need to lift Scarlets. Heavy Lift just got a lot lighter.

    Affect of long term MR frame vibration!

    Just a weird thing to check... Make sure your receiver is operating in Normal mode and not Hi-Speed. Have had some wild rides due to that...
