    Power cable ground - copter ?

    I've run a 10k and a 5k in parallel once or twice in a pinch. They seemed to deplete evenly. What's the issue?

    New Release: Connex HD Video Downlink 3000FT $1599.

    Come to think of it, they went hardwire HDMI from the Amimon RX 15' to a monitor, then looped out of that to the Paralinx TX. Guess the separation was sufficient to not cause issues. Still, I agree HDMI barely works when it's supposed to so adding this layer of handshaking is probably not the...

    New Release: Connex HD Video Downlink 3000FT $1599.

    Not personally but was on a shoot recently with a crew that did it that way and it seemed to work well. Possibly reduced power setting requirement on the Connex where you are resulting in the signal down in the noise from the Paralinx?

    New Release: Connex HD Video Downlink 3000FT $1599.

    Come out of the RX into a short range Paralinx TX.. that gives you multiple untethered local monitors.

    And that's one reason you pay through the nose for aircraft quality. Oh and plaintiff attorneys.

    Tarot Retract Warning... THIN METAL!!

    Not exactly heat treated 6061. Probably cast from melted down cans. Remember this as you're installing prop adapters and other critical components. They're cheap because...

    Here is the FC in my old Great Lakes... was very reliable and US made.. in 1931. Oh and data logging with #2 pencil on chart.

    Remember Kids, Don't be a Dick

    And what if he sent in this distraction in the middle of a ladder rescue? I count this as interference with the fire department in the performance of their duty and I hope they stick it to him.

    If I knew of a better set of retracts to support 35lb+ I would be there.

    3DR anyone else having problems??

    I ordered a rather pricey set of retracts from Aeronavics last week and paid in full as required. Received an email saying the order was sent to the warehouse 5 days ago to be prepared for dispatch. Today I called to see if it had shipped and was told they were waiting on a part which should...

    Floatation Device for MR.?

    How about a spindle of fishing line attached to the frame with the end of the line tied to your Water Buoy, or whatever. The ship will sink, but at least you stand a chance of pulling it up.. assuming the water's not deeper than the line. You may even catch a lobster.

    A2 Antenna broken

    I had the same thing happen. Cut the heat shrink back and you will see a brass tube that serves as the ground plane. Unsolder that from the shield and cut it back to expose the center lead to exactly the same length as the good one. Resolder. Just be careful not to short out the center lead to...

    First filming with uas approved by the FAA

    Even more complicated by the fact that still only a handful of the issued exemptions specifically state that closed set film and television production is allowed, regardless of whether that was the stated purpose of the exemption. It wasn't clear, but the Feds wanted a Motion Picture and...

    DJI Ronin M Price announced. $1399!!!

    We've all gotten spoiled with the current pricing of this technology. Go price an A-Star and a Cineflex. A guy I fly with pays over $50k a year just in insurance for his Jet Ranger to satisfy the studios' liability requirements. But I think the ASTM standards that will drive the pricing way up...
