    Oohhh Explain this one?!

    I've been lurking you on your success w the RCTimer little brushless you've got Ken. They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery; benched the musky/Martinez combo, got the Alex original in the mail the other day and pulled the trigger on the RCT gimbal a couple days ago. ;) ;)

    Foldable and/or Backpack Rigs!

    Seems like foldable portable micro is kind of the holy grail and Iris Aerials was kind enough to send me a V1 of his foldable which is pretty slick. If only the time to build everything. Anyways Got turned onto these guys by Ferdinand K, they are out of control with some of the DIY rigs over...

    Magic lantern breathes new life to Canon 5d mark II and III with raw video.

    Very much looking forward to the stable release of this. We've never been happy w 5D3 video but this really does change things. 4:2:2 at 12 stops Raw for 3K? Time to trim the workflow, storage bloat is the criminal underbelly of Raw. We were/are still interested in the BMCC4K especially w no...

    Oohhh Explain this one?!

    Good idea Denny! Just bought a pair of Foxtech Monitors (which are performing well above expectation) and shipping was incredibly fast. This ones for FPV but will take a closer look!!

    TBS Disco Motor/Prop Recommendation to carry Brushless Gimbal w GoPro3??

    Chuckling... Aye gravity got me ;) ;) Pat @ AMP sent me some extensions (which went onto the 550) and bought a set of Carbon Extensions from Kilby. Looks like this might be a good combo with the 2814 Tigers and a brushless gimbal. Too much fun to get away from the FPV.

    Oohhh Explain this one?!

    Hi guys, thanks for all the suggestions! had a couple of good heads up about Electrical Activity but starting to think most likely culprit was prop starting to come slightly loose and slipping. Upon picking up motor debris was able to pull a prop nut off by hand, granted it was bent at a 30...

    Multirotor Motors - TBS Discovery

    If using the sunnysky let me strongly suggest getting these http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=19586 - Starting to look like the stock pinch nuts on one of the sunnyskys loosened up leading to burly crash. Had ordered these but was flying the stock ones while i...

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

    Thanks guys but still not quite there... Basically the gimbal was too large to fit under the 550 w aeroxcraft landing gear. Despite some creative mounting it just wasnt high enough to allow decent roll travel (less than 15degrees) in either direction so project got put on hold until new landing...

    TBS Disco Motor/Prop Recommendation to carry Brushless Gimbal w GoPro3??

    Hello All, Since we recently planted our former Disco (Bug) we're looking to do another, this time with a Brushless Gimbal w GoPro3?? We also have a bunch of Tiger 2814/770 Motors lying about. Sound like a decent choice? If so would these be better suited to 10-12" props and possibly have to...
