I'm not convinced that it ever happened. The video is a year old. All those quads had to be programmed to act togethor. The entire display had to be computerized and work without wind blowing. Such technology to create that hasn't left the laboratory as yet. I think that's a clever CGI...

It's the kind of drone that prompted Eric Schmidt of Google to comment about them a couple of weeks ago. http://blogs.computerworld.com/privacy/22060/googles-eric-schmidt-worried-about-privacy-threat-civilian-nano-drones Such drones do exist. That's a given. The little fly-on-the-wall spy...

Thank you, Chris. That video and your advice is truly golden. I had seen a dozen videos but not that one. I need to get more appropriate solder. And I still think the XT60's are a little small for 12 gauge wire. The idea of fixing the soldering iron in place and manipulating the parts...

The craft was employed by X-Factor The pics are stolen from a thread on RCGroups. The AV company involved: http://www.helicam.com/our-helicam/

Thanks. My soldering station is good. A Weller digital station. It works well. Yesterday I couldn't get the solder to bind to the inside of the XT60 connectors. The wire just pulled right out after cooling. I applied different kinds of flux on two different tries. Maybe not enough heat is...

Hi. I studied UTube videos for hours today. I learned some things. I need to avoid silver solder for one thing. I'm trying to create the battery connectors to my F450 Distribution Board. The 12 gauge battery wire stripped ends are too large to fit into my XT60 female connectors. I tried...

Hi Patrick, I'm a customer and your service has been superior. Thanks. I see your handwritten name on the return address of every package you've personally packed and taped and shipped to me. I intend future purchases from AMP. But here's the thought that prompted my reply: Is it at all...

There's a lot of people posting on the NAB 2013 Thread. How many of those posters know their business is presently illegal?

Good Lord. Dji has run amok. Anyway my final tools arrived today. I'm committed to the build I chose to be my first. My final resolve is to keep quiet and stay off of forums until it's all done and flown. Took six weeks to collect all the components from a dozen sources. The Dji Assistant...

Iris, I hope that wasn't serious. I live just a few miles south of You. Despite everything, I'm proceeding with my first build and I hope it will turn out okay. Rob

Oh My God. The situation is far worse than I thought.

You know, ... I'm a noobie and still building my first quad. But I've been educating myself since January. I've immersed myself in not only the technical aspects of MR's but also the larger picture of how MR's will fit into our society. Dji has now made it easier for any newbie to try to...

Bart of course there is no such law. The clampdown is aimed at anybody making money from AP/AV. Pressure is concentrated in the LA region where cinema union reps want to protect their aerial boom and jib and MR operators from competition. There's a lot of info in those links I posted. And...

Yes I know the topic has been discussed before. But I did some deeper study over the weekend and I'm bothered. http://www.dvinfo.net/forum/digital-video-industry-news/145993-rc-aerials-illegal-says-faa.html http://www.pressdemocrat.com/article/20130318/ARTICLES/130319522/1334/news?p=1&tc=pg...

Please try to find 10 gauge wire. The largest 4s LipPo's come with 10 gauge wire nowadays. Can I solder that large low resistance wire to the power distribrution board and the BEC and be without a care? (Dji 450) Can I connect Naza BEC with a 10 gauge power input coming in? Why should the...

I obsessed with battery wire a few weeks ago. The LiPo's I got are dimensionally designed for the 550 and are physically too big to use with my 450 build. Those Lipo's came with female EC5 connectors already attached to 10 gauge wires. I decided to put those LiPo's away to save for a future...

Relax. The video is in Portuguese and it's unlikely that any teaparty republicon in the House will ever see it. Let alone understand it.

Anybody have some inside skinny about Graupners? I have them for my first build and want to know if I should get more now. While I can. I hope they're not extinct already. Update: Today I checked the source of my Graupners and they are now out of stock. It was one of the last dealers...

You tried to flip it? For a coup des gras at the end of an excellent flight? Why not. You were on a roll and flying fast. I would have tried it too. Yep. As soon as it inverted the props drove it straight down. Nevertheless a fun fpv video. Glad your bird survived mostly intact. Rob

The packages are labelled incorrectly. I noticed it right away. Somebody at the Graupner facility didn't understand the difference. Maybe the German and French words are correct. Nah. The props were put in the wrong package. Rob
