Yes! I personally feel good having you be our voice. Also a good opportunity to change the nomenclature of our gear from drones to aerial robots. Or whatever else you may come up with that doesn't infringe on George Lucas. Let us know when/where we can see it.

nice! no I hadn't seen that part. beautiful and yes that would make it take the cake. I've heard a lot of good things about 3515's 6s and 14/15" props.

It takes 16 motors to lift a gopro? kidding. I only argue with the concept that the lack of the 4 additional arms would make an X8 equally efficient as a flat octo. There is no way that 400 grams of weight will equate to 10-15% power loss. You still have the same amount of motors and wire...

Al, that may be one of the best ideas yet. Let's all agree to promote this hobby as Aerial robots from here fourth when we encounter fresh minds. People are too easily coerced into the negative connotation of the word Drone. This is exactly what we need. If not "aerial robot" lets agree to...

YES! thanks. see I was sorta close :)

8-10mph is max for million $ shots. I suppose soem can do it with insanely well tuned rigs,gimbals, cx760, post stab. can fly in 20 and I have seen some pretty damn impressive MK footage in a lot higher but still not that perfect floaty shot you dream of.

I got turnigy plush 40 amp on my Hoverfly pro XY8. nothing done to them other than calibration. Flies like a dream. You should try them. they used to be the most recommended esc by Hoverfly until Castle came out with some that worked. but it seems castle is problematic with most that use...

Speaking of reverse shots, whats the name of that guy(scandinavian name???) who did the truck commercial a while back. He flies into the semi from up above and later someone told us he did it in reverse. Anyways, wanted to show this to a friend but I cant get his name right. Henderson...

well Mat's idea is the simplest. As my Fold-n-Fly is very small, the length of wires is short and tight(just the way I like my....yeah.) But it will be easiest to just swap motors around. Just curious more than anything. The reverse yaw makes sense. Thanks

I'm almost embarrassed to ask this but I am feeling too lazy to redo all my soldering joints. Hoverfly has the motors spinning one way, and DJI has them the opposite, of course. So now that I am using the NAZA I am curious if there is any reason, hypothetically, that if all motors turned the...

Woohoo. Do I win a fold-n-fly? :)

I'm gonna guess you either did it backward or the clip was rotated to give the illusion of rotation? I wouldnt have thought that but I cant think of anything else. Spill the beans!

Thanks for clarifying Kilby. I wouldnt be surprised though if the domino effect starts taking place. it's easier to say no than to make rules that work for everyone. Although, the fact this generates millions in tax $'s might make a difference.

Does the car's shadow flicker/bounce due to post stabilization? Beautiful movements ben. You guys are definitely smooth.

I had a serious yaw to the right on my Y6 with wookong. The fact that it happened so erratically though made it really hard to diagnose. I just blamed it on not setting the gains right but who knows. Y6's are the most sensitive to gains and arm alignment of all the configs. But I also know...

Never hurts to have a big bird in the quiver. Probably not a lot it wil do that your XY8 wont and it is certainly gonna be a mother to put in your car. but it will have a little more grunt for lifting those 10lb cameras. I will say that the worst point about Droidworx is the grommet...

Another little tip, for any connectors using a lot of heat....attach the other end to the connector as to help keep the plastic from melting and moving the prongs. The extra material can not only help dissipate heat but also keeps the prongs aligned while the plastic cools. I have had this...

Just make sure you try it in a LARGE open area with no one around. It is intimidating the first time. I might recommend you try using a monitor first. But you can give it a go since you have the fatsharks. Reason being you cant take-off-land LOS which is harder than it looks.

Do people get hassled for flying helis without cameras? It is probably just assumed these days anything that flies has a camera. Actually they should outlaw commercial airlines from allowing passengers to carry cameras as they might take pictures of someone's rooftop.

I dont think those are 3328's, they are the equivalent of 2814's and what you have look like 2826. You got Tabb there? Man, they brought in the wolf! (pulp fiction reference)
