Depends on what you intend to do with it. If you're only ever going to shoot stills the HiSight will be fine as would the Pro Mini, but if you're looking for really good video with a minimum of fuss making it look good on the backend, then you want a mount like the Pro Mini. I'm getting...

I bought one of the 6 volt recoms being offered as a direct replacement for the existing 5 volt unit by our friend Ziggy. Last night I put the Droidworx Mk on the bench and it took roughly 20 minutes to strip the stack down, swap the recom, and put it all back together. When I powered it up it...

I've been kicking around the idea of swapping the stock Roxxy 2827-35's out for a set of the MK3538, I'm just having a hard time justifying buying 6 of them at $90 something each! Then there's the potential reduction in flight time afterward although with more lift capability I can carry more...

The snow is doing well, we've officially had 5 feet of the stuff in the last 30 days and it's not done yet, rumor has it we'll get another foot this week... SIGH... this is getting old... At least I have a lot of time to work on the multi's in between rounds of moving snow around outside, the...

First I'll say that I've noticed the same thing with virtually all the brushless motors I've owned to some degree or another, even when new. That said I'd ask how old and how much use on your motors? If they're new, it's probably nothing to worry about, if they're well used, I'd be looking at...

I was quite surprised to find the all up weight of the Hexa to be a hair over 6 pounds with everything mounted and a pair of Hyperion 4S 5000 packs. Subtract the weight of a Gopro Hero with case and tripod mounting stand and its probably just a fraction under 6 lbs. The Stock MK frame with mkTR...

Dave, It's getting dark here now, I'll see if I can get a few snaps tomorrow. I don't recall ever using the GoPro for stills except for maybe as a test to see what they looked like and then the fisheye effect convinced me to use the Canon SX 200 with CHDK to get still shots. I have on...

Welcome, and yes you can say Droidworx here and almost anything else, we're pretty open in that respect, just keep things "G" rated and we're OK with it ;) As you know from another forum I have an AD-6 myself and I'm just putting the finishing touches on it after swapping all the electronics...

Crash! How's it going, haven't seen you online anyplace for a while now, hope things are well with you... Good to have you onboard, make sure to stop by often and see what's going on. We're just getting going over here so if you have any input into things you'd like to see, or things you...

The new lens arrived yesterday afternoon so last night I disassembled the GoPro and did the swap. It's a pretty easy job, the toughest part is doing the focus afterward, I hooked the GoPro directly into my Fatshark FPV goggles with live feed on and did the adjustment that way. You could also...

Is it just me or does anyone else get a huge thrill from the first successful flight of a new build? Used to be the first flight of a new heli was more a like few moments of sheer terror, being new to the game and not quite knowing what would happen once the skids left the ground, but that...

Except for a couple minor details, its done and has been test flown, and I must say it flys a lot better in this configuration than it did in the old KK quad frame. I reconfigured the stock MK Hexa frame leftover from the conversion of the Hexa to a Droidworx frame into a quad setup that is...

The new lens for the GoPro got delivered a short while ago, I'll have test video in a day or two. I'd do it today except for the fact it's snowing here yet AGAIN!!! Weatherman is predicting 12 to 15 inches of snow through midday tomorrow, this on top of the 3 1/2 feet we already have on the...

Current personal preferences, Canon SX 200 with CHDK for stills and GoPro Hero HD for video. The GoPro is about to get hacked with a new lens installation to get rid of the fisheye effect and I think it will be a pretty darn good little video cam afterward. I'd really love to be able to use a...

Bart, Did you wind up getting the Myvu goggles? It is an interesting concept and if they work at all out in the sunlight then it may be a good compromise between blocking out the entire world with full goggles like teh Fatshark I have and trying to shade a monitor enough to be able to make...

Actually helicopters are not at all unlike a multicopter in how they maneuver, they just do it with a single rotor. On a traditional heli the swash plate is the component that tilts and causes directional shift, the rotor shaft and rotor head assembly are fixed in relation to the fuselage of the...

We're having a particularly bad winter here in the northeastern USA, since the day after Christmas we've had 4 feet off snow dumped on us with the threat of even more to come in the next couple of days and now the outside temperatures have dipped down to the single digits on the Farenheit scale...

Welcome Dave, happy to have you join us :) Good to see you got the new bird off the ground, the fun is just beginning! If you get stuck on anything let us know and we'll give you a hand, chances are someone here has run into it before. Happy flying, Ken P.S. I got your PM, the logon...
