    Brushless Gimbal Complete - Vendor Links

    Another 6 hours today trying to make the Skyline work with one of our AV200s. Beyond frustrated at this point. It kills me that that 90% of the brushless gopro combos simply put out better stuff than we get w a 5d3 and lens stabilized 24mm. The second a brushless is able to crack that 1200gram...

    Brushless Gimbal Complete - Vendor Links

    That From AboveGimbal does a lot of right things. Not the least of which the balance issue Boris has been pointing out. And some bad things too, looks like HD2 guys are gonna be seriously outta balance on that micro tray. Have you seen this guy throwing his Octa around? Guy can fly.

    Photohigher skyline rsgs

    Welcome to the wonderful world of chasing the Skyline... Lower gains to 0 and fly again. Make sure its not your airframe. We had an AD6 w AV200/360 that was VERY VERY sensitive to balance. If the entire airframe wasn't balanced perfectly and I'm talking gluing quarters under motorpucks kinda...

    The China Syndrome

    I'm beyond frustrated with GoPro. Their service which used to be good is now crap and worse so is their quality control.

    Mounting Batteries above centerplate

    One of the guys on here (Webheadfred) does a lot of building tweaking and tuning and I recall seeing a thread where he ended up redoing his build as the batteries mounted above simply created too much instability. Makes sense really. Heavy stuff over the top wants to swing down. We too use boom...

    Aeronavics / Droidworx Motor Question for SJ8 HL

    Best bet is to call Patrick and talk to him. We've bought 3 copters from him including our Skyjib. He's a straight shooter and has been building heavies for awhile. I would talk to him and/or Lanzar from Kopterworx (who also does a ton of heavies) and then go with either of their...

    Help with an IR trigger

    We've had very good results with www.rcshutter.com (Should clarify, these have all been Canon IR shutters and one Sony/Canon LANC) If the Sony NEX uses IR I would expect similar rock solid performance.

    Another one bites the dust...

    Aye, we were going over root cause and what I should have done and arrived there as well. It's now one of those things I'm going to start repeating to myself verbally before every flight till it becomes ingrained as an automatic option.

    Photohigher skyline rsgs

    Hello All, while searching for a Servo I kept seeing AV200's with Gold Roll Gear Rails. Is that V1 or V2? Was this an upgrade, downgrade, sideways grade???

    Please help.... Advice needed on swapping 5.8GHz for 1.3GHz FPV!!

    What kind of range?? More. How much more?? Dunno. Like all things FPV its a bit of a mystery and range is the worst. My thought process was this. EZUhf and/or Dragonlink are clearly the answer for longer range RC Control. Airplane fliers go MILES. Converting to UHF used to be a pain in the ***...
