    Aerodrive 8 vs Herkules II what's better for a DJI

    Hey Boris, I just read his email again and he says first samples expected end of March and expecting to deliver more at the end of April. It will also have over current and over temp protection but wouldn't elaborate more as he is still testing. Regards, Lance

    It's understandable.......I am very disappointed also but having gone this far it's expensive to turn around and head off in another direction!!!

    I haven't heard of anyone having problems with the Aero boards but then again they have only just made it to the shops. My problem now is I am geared up for 6S with the 4120/20 motors and bits and pieces and it's going to hurt changing now......... I am thinking I'll wait to see what Andreas...

    I am in the same boat at the moment waiting for Andreas to get the HP board out there. I returned my Herc II boards before I got tempted to hook it up!!! The first email Andreas said he was expecting to have it flight testing now then the last email I got he said the end of April......... I'm...

    I am trying to find a small camera to attach to the eye cup on a DSLR to assist in framing shots and wanted to see if there is anything readily available or what's needed to put one together. Thanks, Lance

    Aerodrive 8 vs Herkules II what's better for a DJI

    Hey Boris, My MR is already 8kgs and it's not finished so I am looking at a flying weight of somewhere around 9kg unloaded and 18-20kg loaded. That's why I went for the SkyJib I have always worked on having a safety margin specially for a "Commercial" unit carrying very expensive equipment...

    Props

    Hey Ross.....Happy to be able to help :) Basically the answer is yes. There are a lot of factors at play and at this point an ammeter is your friend and a very useful tool to see if you are nearing the maximum motor load. Regarding 3 blade props I have heard the same thing but not having spent...

    Aerodrive 8 vs Herkules II what's better for a DJI

    YES....I know that which is why I am waiting for the High Current Herc Board which is being designed to work with big motors such as the 4120/20 on a big Okto. The problem with the Aero board is most applications are running in excess of the maximum rated amperage of 35A Cont and 45A @ 30 secs...

    Aerodrive 8 vs Herkules II what's better for a DJI

    Hi Lanzar, That's what I am expecting too......9 kgs sounds about right. I am running 4 x 3S 8400 packs to give me 6S to liven the AXI 4120/20 motors up.....5S will not cut the mustard!!
