    Gimbal gear ratio theory. Why not using ratios of 2:1 for faster movement?

    Your weakest links are the potentiometers and the backlash from slop in the servo gears. Personally, I would rather have smooth than fast. If you are getting that kind of drastic motion that you really need ultra fast response i think the problem is more in piloting or the heli. But I guess I...

    2012 Aerial Demo of the Year Contest!

    "The sad fact is, is that if i would of simply put "why" a couple times in my aerial demo along with some text, I would of won the "why" contest." It sounds like you are the best in the world. Give yourself an oscar!

    There you go! it may help with tracking too. FYI, if anyone wants to buy my Z2, I am selling it. Depending on price I can get for it I may want to keep the EZ UHF to use with my heli. It is ARF. Has all components in place just needs to be covered and have flaperons attached, which I can...

    FOR SALE: (6) Maytech 30 amp ESC v1.

    I cut the red heat shrink off and put black on. They all came off of my wookong Y6 and worked perfectly. You shouldnt need to program anything, just calibrate throttle and they are ready to go. $100.

    Before you buy, please read this

    Buy something Chinese! That's all that matters. Chinese are the best at making everything for the lowest price possible. They are experts at "modifying" others ideas and finding ways to sell them for less with slightly weaker components. Do NOT support US manufacturing! We cant make...

    You should wrap your camera in plastic and then let it sit in some plaster o paris. make a fiberglass mold to conform to the nose of the thing so it isnt such a wind bucket. Cant wait to see what the video looks like.

    If you need an HDMI converter...

    Ah, that would make sense. I was wondering why these were an issue. I guess i got lucky with mine pointing up.

    Oh yeah, forgot the 16 doesnt have OIS. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/892390-REG/Sony_selp1650_16_50mm_F_3_5_5_6_Power_Zoom.html or http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/892387-REG/Sony_sel35f18_35mm_F_1_8_Optical_Steady.html but for the dough I would just use the stock lens. It...

    Handheld nex5n from Robinson 44

    Awesome! that would be a real experience. So where are the experienced RC heli pilots here to ask a question to about the similarities of the cyclic? I'm dying to know if RC's have the compensated cyclic for gyroscopic presession. My memory doesnt recall the swash being anything other than...

    Not that you asked me, but I would use the 16 pancake for weight reasons. If your nex came with the kit lens I would just use that since it kinda helps the camera sit in the front of the nose better with the extra length. The problem is the same with any AV, the wider, the more stable the image...

    Handheld nex5n from Robinson 44

    Not sure I understand what your saying? But yes, the pedals take some pressure even on the R44 once you build some speed.

    Handheld nex5n from Robinson 44

    What was more fun than filming was "trying" to fly the damn thing. I was pretty sure with my RC heli experience I would be able to fly her. Much much different. Since we are so used to flying LOS it was actually really tricky to keep a steady nose attitude. The stick is more sensitive than...

    Handheld nex5n from Robinson 44

    I was blown away by how smooth the video came out just hand holding the nex. I tried with my 7d and it would give you a screaming headache to watch it. Anyone who has tried shooting in a real helicopter knows the 400rpm pulse is just perfectly wrong for trying to handhold a camera in as it is...

    Sony CX730/740/760 info centre

    Has anyone on here by chance flown the cx760 from a real heli? I brought the nex5n up in the r44 last night and I was amazed at how well it did compared to my 7d. It only makes me think how much better the BOSS could do fighting the 400rpm pulse from the heli. I'm editing some shots but what...

    If this doesnt give you a heli woody, then you need some UAViagra!

    Because you have a 360 panning cineflex on the bottom that will see the legs. Seems to be a small design flaw IMO. Denny, I'm taking my 7d on the av200 up in the r44 tomorrow to see how it works. Had you in mind.

    APC Props.............Are they Junk?

    Maybe its too much prop with too high gains. Naza's hate wind too. Is it windy at all? That will shake em up real good if you are in anything but manual.
