The big problem I see is if you want to use long range radio gear like the EZUHF, also using 433 mHz. The other thing is there aren't any video TX that can transmit HD video streams so while you may see a somewhat better picture than with other setups it won't be true HD. Ken

I have both frames and have flown them both with Mikrokopter flight controller and WKM. For APV work there's no contest the Cinestar wins with it's camera mount isolation system, you won't see any jello in the video regardless of the camera and gimbal you use. I have a Photohigher AV130 on both...

You can try it and see how it responds to speed changes. Changing the deadband will "numb" the response as it gets wider so it will take more frame movement before the gimbal will compensate but too much will cause lag so the video can get really twitchy if you go far since the gimbal is always...

You'll be able to get the CG right easier with lighter batteries but it's not impossible with the 4s 5000s, it just takes a little more time to figure out the placement of things so you can get the pack far enough forward so it isn't tail heavy. I like the 5000 because of the extra flight time I...

You're probably not going to get it much better than what you already have. Any jitter or jumpiness is likely slack between the gears in the servo and short of testing a case of servos to find the one with the least slop in the geartrain there isn't much that can be done about it, just the...

For still photography the built in flight controller stabilization is more than enough, to use a Red though does require Pro level gear equivalent to the camera itself. For this kind of $$$$ for a stabilization system if you not using it to make money you have a serious addiction to a hobby and...

The US source is GotHeliRC and has been very good at providing support to YS owners as have the dealers in both Austrailia and South Africa. I must say both the dealers and ZeroUAV have been better with their customers than some of their competiton including some well known brands both foreign...

As an alternative to the carbon fiber you can always use just plain old plastic landing gear supports, same height and all and a lot more flexible for those occasional rough landings. I was looking at some the other day in a variety of colors including some very bright neon greens and blues, I...

Yes, sitting down is a good idea especially if you get motion sickness, some people find they get dizzy seeing the landscape flying by while they're standing still. Not that sitting down will make that not happen, but at least you can't fall over if it does... ;) If possible have a spotter...

The image is significantly better in both color and clarity over my set of base Fatsharks. Not being able to adjust the distance between the screens on the Dominators almost negates the better resolution for me as I can't clearly see all of both screens due to them being too close together, the...

The CRV is a 2012 all wheel drive with all the options that I recently purchased after my pristine low mileage 2010 was totalled when hit from behind by a 19 yr old girl driving daddy's Saab and texting while driving. I was stopped to make a turn and she hit me doing about 45mph, pushing me...

Personally I use Fatsharks after trying other googles that seemed like they'd work well. The problem is most of the other googles are intended for watching videos indoors and in shaded spots, not standing outside in the sunlight flying aircraft over a video downlink. Unless a goggle is...

From here... http://www.usplastic.com/catalog/item.aspx?itemid=23351&catid=814 I have three different colors in what looks like it will be a lifetime supply at the rate I'm using it (100 foot rolls)... Ken

The place I bought them from doesn't list them on their website anymore. I did some digging because I wanted to buy another set for another project and as far as I can determine they were made by Carbon Core in the UK and he now does just multirotor frames, the landing gear is out of production...

I have a set of the Spironet. In a direct comparison to flying with set of Bluebeam 5.8 on the same gear I found the Spironet had a slightly clearer picture but I got better range from the Bluebeam, the video would start to go fuzzy and have dropouts several hundred feet sooner than the Blues...

They're a set of carbon fiber landing gear supports for a Trex 600 that I bought some time ago and never used on a heli. They were sitting on the shelf gathering dust when I decided to try them on the QAV, they fit well and look right so it was a cheap solution to what to do for landing gear. Ken

I did two more flights using the same battery and only after it had be recharged to 100%. On the second flight the current monitoring was off by a large amount (low) and pretty much inline with what I saw on the first flight today. Before the third flight I recalibrated the Core board for both...

In order to do a little testing I made this last night for the 1258 VTX system... I swapped the VTX on the Disco from the 2.4 to an 800mw 1258 and then did a backyard test flight using the newly built crosshair antenna. During the entire 7 minutes or so I was in the air the data from the Core...

I'm wondering if the video problems I was seeing have anything to do with the OSD/Core. It didn't do it when I had the 1500mw 1258 TX onboard but I haven't flown it in weather as hot as it was at the field yesterday, and I didn't have the current monitoring turned on then either. If I can find...

Very close to my setup with the exception of the video gear and prop size. Today I was at the field testing out a new 2.4 gHz Lawmate system with Cloverleaf antenna on the TX and 10dbi crosshair on the RX. Very windy flying and the TBS handled it well though a couple times I had to max the...
