    New Camera?

    I'm curious why the Nex6 is any better than the 5n for AV/AP? For under $500 the 5n with kit lens has done very very well for most of my needs.

    Hoverfly The Disadvantages Of Not Calibrating HFP Board

    Wow, I am amazed at how little lens distortion there is. I am assuming thats because the gopro is gimbaled, right? Is the GoPro 3 that much better with distortion? Thats almost usable footage! :)

    Axi motors 'pulsing'

    I had something similar with my Tiger motors and it turned out to be a bad phase on one of the esc's. What was hard to fiure out was that it would sometimes start ok, but after running for 10 seconds, I would stop and then upon restarting it would pulse, or bounce back and forth. essentially...

    GH3 announced .... at a price ????

    I guess that is the honorable thing to do. But normally when you make something that is mostly mechanical, there is little to go wrong. You put the work into it, so why not help pay for your efforts? After all others are benefiting from your research and labor. But I do agree, dealing with...

    GH3 announced .... at a price ????

    Boris if I were you I would get your it together and sell the hell out of them. You'd probably do pretty well.

    GH3 announced .... at a price ????

    OK OK. I gotta chime in here. This whole "cinematic" look thing. Wouldnt it be bad if ALL your footage looked cinematic out of the camera without setting it that way? I would rather have neutral non compressed footage that I run through Looks than having an effect added out of the camera...

    Hoverfly Hovwrfly Pro (ver 1) - how good is the 2 axis gimbal control?

    If you were just making a disposable quad then maybe the KK would be fine. but the second you start putting real money in the air you want to know that every loose end is covered. Hoverfly uses top notch parts and has a much better QC than any Chinese company. Those KK's are spit out in the...

    Hoverfly Home brew

    This is one of the best videos I have seen in a while. You can feel flight! A big thing lacking with all this Zenmuse perfect footage we have seen. Great location to top! Good work! Yuri

    Contest design idea for Spring, 2013 (S. Hemisphere, Fall)

    I was thinking balloons before I even read the whole post. So yes, popping balloons gets my vote. The problem is that everyone will set them up differently. Of course a straight line should not be an option. How about 10 balloons in a 100' diameter circle? Quickest time popping them all...

    Hoverfly Hoverfly GPS, another approach

    Well, if for some reason you can make the GPS hold better than 10' let me know what you do. For now, I am gonna keep it off and stay on the previous firmware as it is just too good to risk getting rid of.

    Hoverfly Hoverfly GPS, another approach

    If your test yields good results could you please attach your GPS normally to the pro and compare on the same day same location just to verify this is what's making the change? Also, what about your idea of using carbon as a shield? If you made a plate that slipped in between the boards with a...

    Relinquishing ownership of Wookong?

    I've sold all my Dji stuff without issues. Worse comes to worse just transfer the name ahead of time to the new owner.

    Hoverfly Hoverfly GPS, another approach

    Bart, I like your solution a hell of a lot more than the ext. mag. Like you said, it keeps things tidy. can you safely compare it to being installed the recommended way though, since you are using a different firmware as well right? Following closely. I dont think your setup would fit under...

    GH3 announced .... at a price ????

    Screw the gimbal, lets hear more about the camera! Lets see some OIS tests back to back with the Gh2. There are already a few moire videos and people filming their cats but we need to see heli specific issues like pan stabilization, 1080/60p footage, stills. I'm sure Quadrocopter will come up...

    Six Superiorities of DJI S800 Retractable Landing Skid

    They are not active on the forums at all unless they are advertising. That's what I mean by not supporting users. When i had DJI stuff, Robert was the only guy available to ask questions to.
