    National Parks RC Aerial photography policies

    As your answer will most definitely be no, I would just do it and play dumb. Of course they won't say yes to that question, they can't. I do know east bay parks have a no rc anything law. At the same time, ironically, I just did a demo for the ohv's park district to pitch a promo for the main...

    WKM with Sky Jib 8 in windy conditions

    In general what you are saying is common knowledge. The wkm doesn't do well in wind and mk is superior in wind.

    APC Thin experiences

    I'm gonna duct tape a cx760 to the head of a hawk and just tie a leash to the bird. Super stable. Balancing would be a quick meal.

    Sony CX730/740/760 info centre

    Do any of you with the cx760 have a solution to use the screw on hood with a uv/protective filter as well? I can screw on the hood to the filter threads but it rotates easily. i suppose I could tape it in place but thought someone might have a solution.

    APC Thin experiences

    Yeah, true. I've honesty never got good enough results with my 2 SRH but I didnt put much time in it before switching over to multis. But even a friend who has been doing it for years had tons of jello. These thins seem to be pretty good so far. motors not even warm. Using 12x6 tops and...

    APC Thin experiences

    this much work I might as well get a SRH! I am looking out for those tiger carbon props, see how those do with balancing out of the box. I dont think to balance motors since the slow fly's work fine on there. They arent perfect but they do a pretty good job. And yes, the thins are just as...

    APC Thin experiences

    I replaced the motor that had issues. Thats not it. It also flies perfectly fine on slow flys. The APC thins I tried tonight had no issues. it's most likely a balance issue. As most who have tried unbalanced props, they generally arent so bad out of the box you cant fly them, they just dont...

    I'm curious if there is some weird oscillation that can occur when using 2 different props in a coax setup. I know there are tons of people using all kinds of varying props top/bottom so it's unlikely but my results are showing under load that the heli shakes to pieces.

    Commencing first F550/NAZA/GPS build

    Should take you 4-5 hours to get that thing going. I will be very interested to hear what you think. it's different from Hoverfly but the gps and alt hold are down right superior.

    Damn copterkids get all the cool gigs!

    Denny, I know you are a TDR fan, have you heard anything or know why the PHotoshipone guys chose to promote the Gaui X7 as a AV ship? I do think about gettign one to try out. Looks nice but the trex seems to still take the cake, probably for parts availability. All I now is I havent seen any...

    Canon 550d or 650D?

    I hope you have some massive motors as my octo barely likes lifting the av200/360 with just the nex5n.

    S800 alternative props

    Yeah! will be nice to have a matched combo with varying sized/pitch props. Still kinda pricey at $67/set but hey, if I dont have to balance them I'm starting to care less how much they cost.

    xoar props

    I might have 8 for sale any minute now. I am just not having luck with these. Is it possible there is some type of harmonic weirdness that occurs when using 2 different props in a coax setup? So weird that it is smooth at 11lbs but not at 12.5.

    xoar props

    OK, I tried the straw and it was way too tight so I went back to the heat shrink and found if I heat it up before shoving it all the way down the shaft I could use the prop to screw the heatshrink up with it. After 4 hours of RE-balancing the Xoars! I bolted them back on with the heatshrink...

    My Birds Spinning clockwise???

    Check prop rotation.

    Damn copterkids get all the cool gigs!

    I can see why. Lifting a 6 lb camera and flying with authority. Well, good for them. I know I am not good enough to comfortably fly a SRH with that kind of stress. I do really like how the gimbal is up front though. makes flying a little easier orientation wise. But thats a whole other topic.

    Suggestion for the moderators

    What about those of us who are looking for a good deal on a phone. I returned my iPhone 5 after hearing I could get 2 for 1.
