    Mikrokopter MikroKopter Failsafe & RTH

    Thanks for the replies. Well I braved it and tested the RTH function and it worked a treat......So I then switched off the TX and it flew right back but before it started to descend I switched it back on. It's a relief to know it all works if something hits the fan!!! Thanks again. Regards...

    Mikrokopter MikroKopter Failsafe & RTH

    I am interested to hear if anyone has had their MK FC go into Failsafe (ie TX switched off) and what happened....Did it fly back, land or crash. And does anyone use the RTH function and what happens?? Thanks

    Hoya Variable ND Filter

    Thanks Kloner.....I knew someone would have had the same problem. The rotating ring is very loose and I considered sticking it with tape to hold it in place too!!! I had it wound up fairly high so I might look for a fixed ND and keep this one for whan I am desperate!!! Luckily we were only out...

    Hoya Variable ND Filter

    I tried a new Hoya 3-400 ND filter on a GH4 whilst videoing for the first time last weekend and after watching the playback it has darkened the left and right of the image leaving the inner 3/5ths a lot brighter. I've never seen this before...Has anyone else??

    Video Interference on FPV Display

    I have a JR style Orange Tx module fitted into a transmitter and I'm using JR DSM2 and Orange DSMX receivers. It's the damn Orange Tx Module which has been causing all the problems all along!!! As soon as I fitted a FrSky Module 99% of the interference was gone!!!

    Video Interference on FPV Display

    It looks like I have located the majority of the interference.........Orange 2.4G Tx module!!! I removed it and fitted a FrSky module and presto 99% of all the RFI is now gone!!! I have wound a toroid and will install it and a cap as a line filter and see how that goes and I'm confident that...

    Video Interference on FPV Display

    Hi Kloner, Thanks for the reply. I have the exact same instal on 3 gimbals and am having the same problem on each one. I have just bought a 32ch Tx which had a much wider spread across the band and am going to try that in the hope that it might fix the problem. Tried different channels and some...

    Video Interference on FPV Display

    I'm having trouble getting my video link transmission cleaned up and I've tried just about everything I can think of........It has improved it but there is still a lot of crap on the display I want to get rid of. This is what I'm using HDMI camera output to HDMI-AV converter Immersion 5.8...

    Are you building a brushless gimbal for large cameras? (diy motor cages for sale)

    Hi Neil, I'm presently running 3 CF plate cage gimbals for heavy lift work and am about to start building a 4th which is why I have been following your thread. The CF cages work very well if you spend a bit of time to strip them down and align them properly before you put the gimbal to...

    HDMI to AV Converter

    Depending on the signal coming out of your camera there are some converters which won't work. I have tried a couple and I'm testing another one when it arrives. The HDMI2AV seems to work with most cameras/settings but I have already had one fail which is why I am still looking.

    Freefly MöVI and AlexMos 32 bit now with AUTOTUNE......

    I started off with the 8 bit BGC followed by the 32bit and finally the 32 bit with 2 IMUs. In the beginning with the 8 bit it was terribly frustrating to tune but the 32 bit is a lot better and since the last 2 firmware revisions it is now much, much easier to get a rock steady and strong hold...

    SDI to AV Scaler/Converter for Copter

    The monitors I'm using are a 7" FPV monitor so there aren't too many variable options available. PAL gave the best fit........ Thanks.

    SDI to AV Scaler/Converter for Copter

    Hey Kloner, I have tried that and got it a bit better. I even removed the display from the case to see if the case was overlapping but it wasn't.

    SDI to AV Scaler/Converter for Copter

    Thanks, I have seen it but thought it might have been a bit bulky. How does it go with fitting the On-Screen data on the display. The one I have cuts about 60% through the data leaving it difficult to read.
