That is most likely a combination of things, the graphics card in the computer, the operating system, amount of memory in the system, and most importantly the format the video is recorded in. The codec Windows uses to read different formats varies greatly in how the OS works with it, best to...

Hey Bart, I think you need to update your computer, all of mine have built in memory card readers, including the netbook I use at the field! As for GoPro memory card, from the FAQ on their website... "The HD HERO camera supports SD/SDHC cards up to 32GB (any SD card over 2GB is considered...

Tuesday I needed to get some still shots and since the stock Hexa hadn't fully recovered from an unintended landing event I used the Droidworx heavy lifter with my Canon SX 200 on the Pro Mini mount which is sort of like using a shotgun to kill a fly...;) What I found when looking at the...

I see GoPro now has its 3D kit available and since I have a pair of HD Heros I'm thinking I may give it a go soon. Granted I'd have to swap the lens back to stock on the modded Hero, or would it make more sense to mod the stock one with another Sunex lens to get 3D without the fisheye effect...

My stock Hexa seems to have regained its composure now that I reverted back to .82 firmware and that's a good thing. During its little oops on the new firmware it crunched the Hisight mount when it fell out of the sky though the damage turned out to look worse than it actually was. A bit of CA...

Unfortunately I won't be there, my presence has been requested in Texas again that week so by the time the 7th rolls around I'll have just gotten back home and had my fill of traveling for the week. The things I have to put with for a paycheck...;) Ken

If you get the latest firmware update you don't need to do a hack, just turn the feature on in setup and it works whenever the camera is on. Ken

Yes, it's a desk size model that's a fair copy of the real 2007 R 1200RT sitting out in the garage next to a couple vintage Nortons and the Kawasaki GTR 1000 that was my main ride prior to the arrival of the RT. Here's a before shot of my favorite ride, a 1957 Norton ES2 500cc...

A rather expensive solution if all you're after is getting the camera platform level! If I were to go that route the MK board would be replacing the existing flight controller for more than just camera mount stabilization. The linked thread on AP landing says this... "Works just as well as it...

I think the latest version of GPX export does show control stick position but maybe not all of them, just nick, roll, and yaw? Dunno, I'd have to fire it up and look and right now the SD card is back in the Hexa, next time I pull it off the shelf I'll pop the card out and get the file off of it...

Nose in on a multi that autolevels isn't even a challenge, it does all the work! Once you can do it with confidence on the Gaui then you've got it down. ;) I used my little 350mm KK quad for nose in practice, squirrely little beast in tail-in, really makes you work learning nose in but I got...

Yes, a Canon that will load CHDK is the way to go, you can then run the configurable intervalometer script to get as many shots as you like at whatever interval you want to use. You can get all the info here... http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/CHDK along with a list of supported cameras. CHDK also...

After reading through the 18 or so pages on the Flash RC board over on RCG I decided against getting one shortly before I was about to buy one. One of the big deciding factors was the Japanese version allows the end user to update firmware with a MK USB or regular programmer like the one used...

Yes, Flycam 925 motors, they've proved themselves to be sturdy and dependable, I like them a lot more than any of the Hobby King stuff that I was using before. The original 4 that I bought took a lot of abuse on the Jakub frame when I first installed the Hoverfly board last fall. That was back...

In a heavy lift setup you will need more than 3S to do anything beyond hover a couple feet off the ground if you can even get it off the ground. I have the Pulso 2814-22 motors on my AD-6 HL which are the equivalent of the MK3538 with APC 12 x 3.8 props and a 3S pack is barely enough to get it...

For those of you that would rather be able to use standard ESC's with an MK flight controller there's a new I2C to PWM convertor available that is ridiculously cheap, I just bought a pair of them for less than $30 and it will handle up to 8 ESC's. You can find them here...

It flys! By no stretch of the imagination is the beast done yet, but this afternoon I rigged it up with enough ESC's to do some motor testing and camera mount setup so while I had everything connected I figured what the heck, put some props on it and see if it wants to get off the ground. Now...

To reduce the twitching try dropping the value of the Gyro stability setting. The default is 6 or 8 (I forget which) so try lowering it by 2. You can also lower the Gyro D setting by 2 to make it a but less aggressive on the corrections but there isn't a lot you can do to get the P/H to not...

Just finished digging deeper into the OOPs the Hexa had the other night. I reverted back to .82 firmware and did a short test flight in the backyard to make sure everything was working, GPS, P/H, and A/H. Checked the log file for any problems, looked OK, so I went out front and tried to...

I thought of using connectors on the BL's for the isolation board leads but went with soldered connections to eliminate a potential point of failure having the second connector. I know that theoretically the Hexa will still fly if a wire popped off and the motor stopped but I have no desire to...
