    Aerial Media Pros BROKEN INTO Please keep eyes and ears open for RTF XM8 Skyjib & RED

    As a customer who was impacted in the loss we can chime in that Patrick and Aerial Media Pros have indeed made everything right and is indeed back to business as usual. Most companies would have thrown in the towel and disappeared, not so Patrick and AMP. THAT is a helluva stand up thing and...

    Throttle difference ? ATT vs GPS vs Manual Mode ???

    Trying to educate myself; what are the impacts of being over propped? On the downside, runs the motors/electronics harder/hotter than necessary?? Are there any advantages to being over-propped?

    Is there a Magic Milliwatt??

    As a Male I'm genetically prone to bigger faster stronger harder etc... so I'm wondering if this naturally applies to the FPV world. Should I park the jumbotron 1 million megawatt super duper jumbo fries transmitter on my little 550 or just stick with my 400mw 1.3?? Basic question is, Is...

    An Argument for RTF

    No worries Jack you didn't overreact at all ;) In actuality, your point hit the nail on the head!! Although I didn't articulate it well, the point really was, "Is RTF really expensive or is avoiding the learning curve, soldering mistakes, setup frustrations and leveraging experienced builder...

    An Argument for RTF

    Sorry mate, didn't mean to offend :) I concur, it's nice to be able to be in a position to be able to go RTF and I'm very grateful I'm in that position. Absolutely not trying to sound superior quite the contrary what I'm suggesting is that RTF is definitely a much faster path to flying and in...

    An Argument for RTF

    Guess we've flown the 550 about 20-30 packs or so... And we've chased guys on bikes, chased dumptrucks, chased cars, inspected huge piles of garbage, chased lizards at two feet above the ground, flown high enough to get scared, got some great panoramas up there, tested the range limits of our...

    Help with FS goggles

    This may sound a bit silly but... make sure your 1/8 connector has 4 separate poles. Push the 1/8 all the way in, then back it out slightly. I've had to velcro a loop and keep a bit of tension to make sure the plug doesn't fall out but it works :/

    Storing Lipos at full charge warning??

    Ahh that makes sense. Patrick (aerialmediapros.com) included a little plug in LED (to the battery balance cables) that shows voltage under load for all 4 cells individually and then for the total pack. Makes it super easy to see actual voltage while hovering! Thx Patrick!

    GoPro 3 Videos

    Have learned using Hero2 for FPV that there is a certain sequence required to avoid a lockup as well. 1. Make sure video cable is plugged in. 2. power on GP2 (super short press) without 1 touch enabled 3. Power up Bird. 4. Wiggle bird to make sure FPV is actually live 5. short shutter press to...

    Dear FPV Gods (ala... Kloner) or the Mother of all TBS FPV Setups!

    So far we've had more money than sense, so trying to run before crawling (obviously). Will see how long the checking account lets that strategy play out ;) Truth is both of us are having a blast like never before with the 550 and the farther we go out the more giggling like little schoolgirls we...

    GoPro 3 Videos

    Had a Black lockup on a commercial gig (Event Timelapse) similar to some of our HD2 lockups. Seems to be principally on 2sec timelapses. Used to love GoPro (and GP support) but the honeymoon is over for me with the ridiculously involved firmware update process, bizarre HD2 metering and lockup...

    Dear FPV Gods (ala... Kloner) or the Mother of all TBS FPV Setups!

    Dear FPV Gods (ala... Kloner) I'm guessing that all of us are simply blown away with your ability to push FPV out as far and as low as you are able. So I tried assembling a list of all your posts to avoid this one but... Knowing what you know now... Would it look like this?? Frame: TBS...
