Sorry to hear that, it sounds like you moved the compass/GPS unit in the wrong direction and it went out of limits and got confused as to where home was. That does not explain why it did not return to normal after you switched on again. Unless it was so far away that you lost orientation? After...

I don't know anything about Hoverfly but with ALL of the boards that I have used it is important NOT to move the model for at least 5 seconds after you switch on. Hence I use a switch to make life easy. FWIW. That is a receiver type of switch on the LV side not the main PS.

Cool, I must get one.

Nice, that's getting up towards SR efficiency.

Usually any hard impact on the GPS unit and it has to go back for repair.

I would get the phantom and a gopro. The difficult work is done for you and you can start getting results right away. It will be the cheapest in the long run.

Ah, looks like you can control everything and watch the preview on your i-phone or tablet in realtime. I'm gona have to get one of these. Wonders of WiFi.

I have a mate who has a T-Rex800E which is not bad. I don't have a trekker, just the TDR's. They weigh 7kg with 11 amp 12s batteries. The 14s is only in Dev stage along with the new rotor blades 1000 rpm.which will set new standards in efficiency (batteries will be smaller). Weather is not good...

Right now it's not so beautiful, wet windy and cold. But in July the heat will be unbearable. I am currently in Limassol but like going over to the dark side, also known as the North. The Turkish side is wonderful but the economy is worse even than here. If you want to make great images then...

I'm glad to hear that all is well, I just get a bit tweaked when I see a lot of money being spent on gimmicks that could be better spent elsewhere on stuff that will get you a better return. You are right that my techniques are more geared to flying Helis. Thats the main reason that I use them...

If you work correctly with pilot and camera operator and plan how you will shoot the sequence the pilot just needs to keep the heading of the model pointed in the general direction of the shot, If the pilot cant stay within 30 deg. of the target then I think you need another pilot. The guys I...

Nice easy solution, well done.

I don't understand why you guys want to spend all that money on a function that has little or no useful purpose. You have rudder control so why carry additional weight and problems to create a shot that nobody needs. The biggest mistake made by amateur cameramen is over use of the fast pan movement.

12s at the moment but I will be moving to 14s and smaller batteries soon. Ok this discussion is moving away from traditional multi talk but so is fixed wing FPV and some other stuff but at the end of the day there is much cross over info that we can all benefit from. I use fixed wing, multi's...

Yuri I think before we start getting too hard on those guys it is very early days. I would like to see what they come up with on an official release video. Rather than some guy getting a bit nosey at a pre release day. Looks like they are working around the use of Canon DSLRs and bravely...

Heres a few more

Well my TRD's have just one Buggy unit plus a couple of other rubbers and bump stops that attenuate the sampled vibration from the testing phase. Nothing gets through. The Zen is pretty stable even when it's turned off. The servos that I use on the swash are Magnetic encoder Hitec High Voltage...

It is NOT vibration, it is a balance issue and a poor IMU. the web site shows a good mounting system.

The nicest part is the T-Rex800E. Those batteries look quite small so I guess they have the efficiency sorted. It would be nice to see competitor to the Zen at the same electronic technology level. A high sensitivity base plate imu to refine the signal, could be the answer. Cmon George you...

Looking at the monitor this does not look good. Yet another stand alone gimbal controller. It is nowhere near locked in.:apathy: The penny has not dropped.
