The kicker for me is that we are still getting shafted since we are probably paying $10,000 or more (via our taxes) for a $450 FC on the DOD contracts. Pure speculation on my part but wouldn't be surprised.

Pretty much exact same experience as Motopreserve for me too. I will reiterate that my hard mounted GoPro footage also showed no vibes. The most success I have had so far is using harder dampers than original and sandwiching a natural sponge in between the bottom plate of frame and vibe-damper...

Looks like you have the same bouncing/wobbly effect I have been having with the same gimbal, anti-vibe system, and CP. Although I have been flying a Nex 5 and now an A5100, so I think lighter cams. Will be interested to see if you get rid of those. Thanks for sharing.

This looks very interesting but 1 shot/3 secs just isn't fast enough for most of my mapping endeavors.

This is pretty impressive for hex redundancy - http://diydrones.com/profiles/blogs/apm-copter-v3-3-rc5-failure-and-recovery-one-motor-rotated-by-90#comments (look in the comments for another person reporting prop loss and landing it fairly fine)

Been there on watching a copter fly away, sorry. I definitely learned my lesson that day. I did use this radio telemetry setup for a long time - http://com-spec.com/rcplane/index.html w/one of these: http://com-spec.com/rcplane/index.html I had to use it once and it worked perfectly to find a...

I assume the ATTO is between the battery(ies) and the PDB? Just verifying, since you won't get accurate readings if not.

+1 I'm hoping the slow traffic here means people are having excellent results with the InfinityMR, as is usually the case of this sort of behavior on forums. What we've seen so far on the encoder controller side is fantastic.

Nope, this one - http://www.overskyrc.com/hdmi-to-av-sony-converter-v2-ntsc-version-p-519.html No video switch either. I just have the nex and no flight camera. I mostly just plan a waypoint mission and watch it fly away and then turn to Mission Planner and watch were the copter is on the map...

I use an older version of this 1.3ghz transmitter: http://hobbywireless.com/12-13-ghz-transmitters-c-179_117_165_113/txv1012plus-dual-power-5001000mw-1213-ghz-plug-play-transmitter-usa-p-155.html. It connects to an HDMI converter on the Nex5t I use. The gimbal is powered via a BEC connected to...

You've done the radio calibration in Mission Planner I assume? Have you checked your yaw trim on the Taranis?

This blows away anything I have gotten with my CP on a Quadframe V2 BLDC or a friends DYS Eagle Eyes with it. And that's in perfectly still weather with those gimbals. Just sayin. Looking forward to more users results here.

Excellent. Like it that you are using a Nex series camera as that is what I use. What lens is that? Hope the rain stops soon!

@Mediakopter.no - Thanks for updating us! When you get a chance (maybe when you post your first video:D) would you post your setup, both copter and camera(s).

I would just do a 5v BEC and a 12V BEC. I believe I read that Jakub (InfinityMR gimbal) said he sees better/equal performance at 12V on the gimbal. That way you have the redundant power to Pixhawk (5V) and you could run these LED's (I use them and like em') at 5V from the rail or rx. Everything...

I am using the DJI 15x5.2 - http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1079990-REG/dji_cp_sb_000221_premium_propeller_pack_for.html I don't know that everyones experience will equal mine. Especially after spend a bunch of time reading about them and most people saying 4-7% efficiency loss but...

Here is the build log: http://www.multirotorforums.com/threads/quadframe-foldable-pro-sixcopter-medium-lift-need.22993/

Good question. I folded up the props and tried to put it in the back seat of the truck and it fit. Flying just got so much easier. So I haven't checked to see what it is like with arms folded.

I just wanted to report back on my experience with the KDE triple prop adapters. I am absolutely blown away by the quality and performance! I was skeptical but reading about them and seeing who is using them I couldn't resist the urge. I thought I would be losing a little bit of flight time but...

A little update on where I'm at with this copter. I just switched over to the KDE triple propeller adapters with DJI 1552 props. I was very skeptical about this move but from what I had read and who it was from I just couldn't resist giving it a try. I had to do something because the 15x5.5 CF...
