I had the same question! When you plug the battery in to the harness it gets power through the esc. leads. In otherwords there is a built in bec in the fc. Also, you don't need battery power when you plug in the usb as that gives the fc enough juice to calibrate. Why don't manuals have...

I just came across this mount. They have some others as well. http://www.servocity.com/html/ddt560_direct_drive_tilt.html

I bought the 6mm ragecams for my gopro and it is pretty nice. I bought it over the sunex because they said you can still use the waterproof case with it. It does need to be manually focused for close or far range. Thats pretty easy to do with the live out. I think it makes imperfections show...

Yes, it does, I have cs5. I guess I just like having all my files the same type. On that note, although the rendered file is good, I have issues while previewing avchd within premiere pro. It shows up but it is very pixelated with tons of artifacts. My quicktime files dont have that at all...

After "feeling" a few motors I am starting to wonder how to interpret the strength of the magnetic "clicks." Out of 8 motors, the variance is huge! Does this mean the tolerances from one motor to the next are that different? if so, how does this effect performance? I heard that this feel...

Sorry if i turned this into a file conversion thread. I have Auntsoft and it is the best for the job but STILL is extra work i dont have to do with my canons. That was my only point in bringing it up. When they say 60i it means there are upper and lower fields. In most NLE's it is an...

Yeah I am aware of these options. But they all involve extra steps. I like to go through my footage straight off the card and delete all the junk first. This way you have to load imovie/PP/mts to mov/etc. to convert the file just to preview it. Premiere Pro will open the files ok but I...

I cant see difference between the tm90's single sensor and the 3mos. At this level of amateur video it is just bragging rights for your gear. In other words, not worth the extra dough IMO. PLus the TM90 only weighs 8.64 oz. Compare that to the Gopro's 6 oz. Cost is $450 and is worlds greater...

I think I should get something for having to watch all of those videos! My head is spinning.

In that case you should check out the TM90. it shoots 1080 60p and is amazingly light. I bought the GH2 because I needed something that would take good photos as well as video that was small enough to be lifted by my Xaircraft v8. As it turns out, I am making a custom frame and the weight...

Ken, what camera(s) are you using? I just bought the gh2 but I am a little turned off by the need to convert all the .mts files to use on a mac. I like how my canon files can be previewed instantly on my computer. Also, Everything else i have is 1080 30p where the GH2 is still in 60i. But...

I can see that being a problem, and i expected that to be the case. But I had to try it myself. This is someone elses but exact idea. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TVmyw3OsG0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIKhZXNMojg&feature=related

thanks Jes! Thats awesome info. i didnt really think of not using a gyro and just shocks. Much lighter.

DennyR, don't tell me this! I have been putting some real efforts into mechanical gyros for my camera mount. The idea of using a hard drive is a good one but not realistic for anything other than a gopro. I ordered a motor and esc specific for turning a machined aluminum disc. Let me state...

There are obviously issues. Another reason bigger is better in my mind. This is just one major thing missing from multis. This could be our auto rotation equivalent! I dont think attitude would make much difference unless it was upside down and the chute got stuck on a prop. But the nice...

Good info. Thanks. I guess this is my next step. In the states there is a similar outlet at http://www.vibrationmounts.com/Products1.htm

If one didn't care about having a gimbal for the purpose of keeping the camera level......are there any other tried and true ways to isolate vibrations with a fixed mount? I am getting erratic vibrations on my unit. The first few shots were ok but then they got worse. Is a slab of silicone...

I was remembering the ballistic recovery chutes we had on our ultralights. I wonder if there isn't some way to make a light remote deployable parachute for our multi's. I realize packing a 2+ meter chute would be space consuming, but with enough money on board one would wonder why "we" havent...

Based on the fact they just delivered the first batch today I don't think you are going to get an honest answer on that for a few weeks. I got my x8 in today and it a very nice kit. The chinese clearly do not understand some basic things but overall is one of the cleanest frames and...

is it just me or does that lower prop in the 3rd pic look wrong?
