    Mikrokopter MK Firmware 0.88 online now

    I don't even remember what version of firmware is on my V1 Hexa but it works so well as-is I'm going to leave it alone. I've had my fill of being a software beta tester I'll let someone else have the fun this time around. I'm in the process of building an MK quad with a full Nav and GPS for FPV...

    Cinestar 6 WKM sudden wobbles

    Could be one or all of the following, gain settings, prop size, ESC firmware. My CS6 flies nicely in both ATTI and GPS mode, I'm using AXI 2814-22 motors, Graupner 11 x5 props, DYS 30A ESCs with FastPWM firmware, and gain settings of 220 on basic pitch and roll with ATTI pitch and roll TX...

    Photohigher's new gimbal stabilization

    Knowing this was in the works along with some other things at Photohigher is the biggest reason why I have no interest in the overpriced Z15. I've gotten outstanding support from the folks at Photohigher and the best video I've recorded has all been with an AV130. As soon as the upgrades are...

    Hoverfly Switching from MK to HF - is it worth it?

    Yes, I downloaded the latest versions of setup and firmware update before I did anything and made sure to do the calibrations properly, doesn't seem to have made much difference. If anything the board is wonderfully inconsistant, occasionally it will work relatively normal but the majority of...

    Hoverfly Switching from MK to HF - is it worth it?

    Agreed, the best videos are the ones showing the capabilities of a a platform so here's one of my Droidworx AD6 with Naza controller testing a new direct drive GoPro gimbal. As you can clearly see it's not just sitting there hovering, I'm flogging it pretty good at times and I see nothing wrong...

    Hoverfly Switching from MK to HF - is it worth it?

    This evening I dusted off the box containing the H/F Pro board, took it out, updated to the latest firmware, did all the necessary calibrations, and installed it on my testbed quad frame. I did 3 flights under the street lights with the LEDs on all four arms providing plenty of light to see the...

    Hoverfly Switching from MK to HF - is it worth it?

    The short answer is no, not worth it, I swapped out the Hoverfly Pro I own for MK electronics mainly because the Mk works much better and has better reliability IMO. When I decided to swap out the Mk on my Droidworx AD6 it was for a DJI flight controller and I have no regrets about having done...

    New GoPro Tilt and roll gimbal

    Test flight, Aeroxcraft GoPro gimbal, Droidworx AD6 with Naza flight controller... Works much better than any other direct drive GoPro gimbal I've used in stock form. One thing I think it needs is push/pull linkage on the roll axis, there is a difference in the motion when banking to the...

    MOTOR WIRE..... Where can I buy ??

    On 16 Ga I use 3mm, I buy them in bulk lots of 100 pairs from Taiwan which seems to be the only place that actually makes them. You could use 3mm on the 14 Ga too or go to 4mm if using really big motors that will draw a lot of current. If you sign up for the email notification on out of stock...

    Hoverfly New Hoverfly Forum is now open!!

    It's just a Miniature Aircraft Rotor X 404 ( http://www.miniatureaircraftusa.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=138&Itemid=83 ) with a Hoverfly controller and a GoPro Hero stuck on underneath, you could probably build it yourself for a lot less $ than the RTF or ARTF asking price...

    MOTOR WIRE..... Where can I buy ??

    NAZA Remote Gain

    The remote gain allows you to change the gain settings from the TX. Depending on whether I'm flying one of my Naza or Wookong-M I have different setups for each, the Naza I usually have no remote gains unless I'm doing setup for a different frame, props, flying weight, etc. in which case I'll...

    An Apology from a Moderator - ME!

    I haven't been around much either but for some very different reasons. On January 30 I was told by my employer my team of 11 people was being disbanded and I had 2 weeks to find another job within the company or be laid off on February 16. Two weeks of contacting everyone I could think of that...

    anyone tryed this FC looks alot like a naza copy to me

    Not a copy, it is an OEM Naza built by DJI and software limited to quad only configurations, whoever the company is that buys them from DJI puts the Bumblebee name on them. I've heard the setup software screens look the same as the Naza version. Ken

    Coming soon Zenmuse gimbal

    $3470 USD for a gimbal that won't hold anything bigger than a NEX 5N...!?!?!?! $3470 USD... for that much I can get a pair of AV130 AND a CineStar gimbal and still have cash left. I'm out on this one, the pricing is ridiculous, I don't care how magical it is or claims to be. I see another...

    Wookong down!

    In the video it sounds like the motors stopped, did you have the throttle below 10% while descending? The WKM will shut the motors down if you lower the throttle too much while in the air, not one of their better features. I've setup an audible alarm on my TX if the throttle gets down to 15% so...

    CineStar 6 in the field

    This was the first time out with the 12 x 6 props and I intentionally limited flight time to 8 minutes per pack due to the ambient temperature of about 30 degrees F. I haven't put any of the batteries on the charger yet to see how much is left in them but I expect they're down around 30 to 35%...

    Show what you filmed - Post Your Video Here

    This was done with a brand new 5N, only the second time it's been in the air. I just went backwards through the various versions of the file, the youtube one is definitely soft, much more so than the same file appears on the 22 inch flat screen attached to the computer I do the editing on. Going...
