Gunter, I was thinking the same. If one of you tried it before me, let me know how it works. When hard mounting a gopro it is so hard to get that resonating frequency out of the image. I am not claiming that this is the miracle solution for this. It's main purpose is to get the legs and...

Yeah, the f450 with naza is about as friendly as it gets and still has the fun factor. Super durable and very easy to fly. And works pretty well with the gopro for amateur fpv or AP/AV. Plus you have tons of guys on here who can help you with the DJI. Some of the others are a little tricky...

video coming up. I did consider bolting but it adds weight and requires additional hardware. There is no reason you cant bolt it on with whats there.

It seems the best way to get steady video from the Gopro is by using 720 60p. The problem is that the camera has only one field of view option at 170 deg. There really isnt anywhere on the F450 to stick the camera without seeing props or legs. So I have created the "BatWing." The battery...

As I understand it, one major thing is penetration. 900 goes through a lot of things and bounces all over objects that the higher frequencies do not. 5.8 will get block by anything non line of site. IBCrazy described this as well: Imagine the signal being emitted from the antenna as a...

I don't understand these companies. My Xaircraft would control my av130 VERY well. super smooth and responsive without over correction. When I saw my friend's WKM controlled Av130 I was highly disappointed! I just assumed if the Xaircraft could do it then anything would work. The DJI...

I heard from one source that you can charge at the amps it outputs per hour. So 5500mah would charge at up to 5.5 amps. Another source said anything over 3 amps is kinda risky for the longevity of your cells. I dont know which way to go but I was charging my 5500mah 3s 25c's at 5amps for a...

You could just paint a pair of my legs yellow. I may even have some paint I can do it for you if you want. they certainly dont obstruct airflow as much as pool noodles.

when I get confused with situations like these I like to exaggerate the situation to try and figure it out in my head. So based on Robert's theory, if you took a 20' multirotor and held it up in the air, the triangle would give you the same proportional offset? Ah crap, this just made my brain...

nice!

this is why I made my legs, so you can put the gopro underneath and get very little leg showing in 720. doesnt show in other modes. http://www.multirotorforums.com/showthread.php?2099-F450-carbon-fiber-landing-gear-extensions I am surprised the new gopro didnt put a 1/4-20 screw mount on he...

Does this guy have a tethered octo or is that a really long antenna? Looks like he is wired to me. http://biertijd.com/mediaplayer/?itemid=32880

I think it's pretty safe to say most, if not all cameras, are throw away cameras if they fall from the sky and hit the ground hard enough.

I smacked mine hard in the grass from high up and it didnt break anything but a prop. I figured they were plenty strong. but everyone has different experiences as there will always be those slight variables that make one part take more load than another. Let me know if you need more.

HA! get DJI to help? thats a good one. thats like asking Holger if he wants to do Lunch or asking Jeff from Xaircraft to call you back or getting a paid return from HobbyKing or expecting these things to fly out of the box. :) Joking aside, it would be great to see a true way to determine...

And we cant get ours to come down at all. Someone must know the answer to this ??? I see no options in settings so it must be a fails safe setup issue in the tx. But we tried almost every combination.

Yeah, that's funny because this was my plan as well for the pic competition! I was going to do a flash bulb shot though so I would be still in the middle of the lights. I wont submit this anymore but may post for fun. nice pics.

your video is really stable. what props/motors are you using? It's too bad the gopro still makes you use the 170 deg FOV with 720/60p mode. I cant get non-jello video in 1080 at all. Glad the legs are working for you guys. Yuri

I'm also wondering bout the temperature people are flying in. I hit mine hard into the grass and broke 1 prop. but I bet if it were really cold out the brittleness of the plastic would have not survived.
