    New Z15's woeful idea of horizontal

    Boris if it didn't lag behind in FPV mode how could it stabilize, that band of movement is just for that purpose. Works for me every time.

    Zenmuse and Nex7 (power on/off)

    Yeah it's a stupid arrangement I have changed mine completely so that I can also use a small servo shutter release to be able to activate HDR. Otherwise you have to use a ball driver to slide the ON/Off. Maybe I should start selling conversion kits...

    New Zenmuse Z15 'wining' when panning

    It is caused by a wiper assy. that transfers the multi wire signals, should run in after time.

    Aerial Media Pros BROKEN INTO Please keep eyes and ears open for RTF XM8 Skyjib & RED

    These guys have been in to see you at some time recently. Think back. It would seem from the items that were taken that they knew what they were looking for. They stole it for someone or more likely they stole it for themselves. If it was a commissioned theft it would be difficult to use that...

    What is more stable?

    I have been testing a few motors for a Turnigy Talon tri copter. I had six new suppo BL-2814/8's laying around so I thought I would hand pick the three best ones after running em on my test rig. Good job that I did because three of them are so far out of balance they hardly run at full power...

    What is more stable?

    The 4008's are good motors, the thing is that with the low KV you may run out of RPM if you use small props. at 14.8v. i.e. the 10x5 Graupner Eflite would be too small and it would lift off but not have enough reserve left to stabilize the model. something like 12x5 or 13x5 with DJI 30Amp...

    Ultimate Thread Drift Thread, 2013

    Dubliners Happy new year to you. Aerial books are what you publish to satisfy a demand from Tourists and people who are fascinated by viewing the work of photographers who have mastered the art of capturing a moment in time as seen from above and made it interesting. In my case a video DVD is...

    Contest design idea for Spring, 2013 (S. Hemisphere, Fall)

    I think you should include some aeros like loop, roll, and flying through some object in between. Or just make an entertaining 3 mins of high speed skimming through a typical place that has a few difficult things to avoid. Crazy Horst style.

    Hoverfly Down to my last multirotor

    The more motors you have the less efficient it becomes. Try a Tricopter next!!!! Good way to use up your old parts.... I just turned a hexa into two great flying machines.:tennis:

    A warm hello from shenzhen,China

    Nice Jojo, an S800 without all of the design faults. Now there's a coincidence, exact same dimension as the Zenmuse (15.5 cm.) mounting. I like the way it folds up...

    Aerial HDR

    The human eye can see about 14 EV's in dynamic range and your camera can only see 8-9 in a single exposure. Night aerials are far more spectacular if shot in HDR +2 0 -2 When I pioneered night aerials about 25 years ago I used neg. film which has a better dynamic range but sadly not the ISO...

    Aerial HDR

    @Ferdinand I did not, isn't that a Sony focus thing? I always shoot in manual focus locked just a bit back from infinity. I cant afford to have it start hunting in the middle of a shot. I had proper auto object tracking on my own DR-7 camera mount but it is too big for MR use. The license to...

    Aerial HDR

    Thanks guys, Yes no problem with my own trigger but I wanted to save some weight and use the Zen trigger. It's not a problem with the Zen it is that the Nex-7 does not want to work with the remote trigger in HDR. The best time for great HDR is just before it gets dark IMHO. I want the shadow...

    Aerial HDR

    The Nex-7 has a nice HDR feature and the Zen can hold the camera steady enough to take three exposures without any problem but the Zen does not trigger the camera in HDR mode so you need a separate release. Just curious if anyone has a third party remote that can work the HDR mode.:tennis...

    Ultimate Thread Drift Thread, 2013

    Been doing a few xmas show markets this year and despite all of the traders reporting doom and gloom with takings down I had record takings with the aerial book signings. So what brought people to my table? I put a couple of UAV's on display. People just have to come over and ask the questions...

    Tricopter Frame Kits?

    I have a Turnigy Talon with some hot motor combi. TC reflashed some of my 40 amp Pulso ESC's. These are well made but don't work without the reflash. the motors are Suppo BL-2814/8's. Uses one of TC's nice Little FC boards but also going to try a Multiwii all in one. There's a whole bunch of...
