    Multi rotor camera mounts, the good, the bad, and the ugly

    Today I'm going to disassemble the Hexa and attempt a rebuild that minimizes vibration. It will be interesting to see what happens or if its even possible to do what I'm thinking of without causing other problems. First step is get the vibration levels as low as possible across the upper frame...

    Cedric, Your frames are a work of art, I want to mirror polish one and just hang it on the wall of my office, I'd be too afraid to fly it for fear of crashing! Seriously though, your English is not bad, it is far better than my French. Welcome and keep the beautiful alloy parts coming...

    Multi rotor camera mounts, the good, the bad, and the ugly

    I did fly quite a bit with the stock EPP props and never realized just how bad they really were until I took them off and put the Graupners on, I couldn't believe the difference it made in stability. I've only ever used APC on my little aerobatic quads and then only until I had destroyed them...

    Son of Okto

    Wow, this one sounds BIG and more than a little complex! I'm not quite so ambitious, or rather it's too darn cold for me out in the garage this time of year to attempt a project of this scale, maybe in a couple months when things warm up. Anyway, as far as plastic gears go, yes they are used...

    Multi rotor camera mounts, the good, the bad, and the ugly

    One thing you could try with the mkTR is something I saw that someone had done over at Ziggy's site, add another set of standoffs to the battery mounts in front of the existing ones. I think what they had done was attach to the two bolts that would normally hold the flexlander supports on the...

    Censorship, it just ain't right

    RHP, glad to have you on board here! Also nice to know it isn't just me that is seeing that trend. It's unfortunate but when you own the forum you get to make the rules but no one has to to stay and play by them if they don't want to. P.S. I haven't given up on the Canon Vixia yet, I know...

    Multi rotor camera mounts, the good, the bad, and the ugly

    I think part the problem is a lot of the mounts out there are designed with still cameras in mind and for that use the majority of them are excellent, it's only when you get into video that the problems start to crop up and that's the point I've been trying to work around for months now. With...

    Censorship, it just ain't right

    Sorry, have to vent a bit here. I actively participate in another multirotor vendor specific forum that has apparently taken to censoring things that they personally don't approve of or any reference to manufacturers that won't let them sell their product and I think that's just wrong, period. I...

    10"x5" Xoar props group purchase

    I think you'll really like the Graupners, even more if you've flown with those awful EPP that come in the kit. Let's see what the demand is and the cost breakdown, wood props do look kinda neat but they'd have to have some really compelling advantage to make we switch comepletely away from the...

    Video of the Month Poll

    I happened on Holgers video following a link from another site, I was fascinated by what I saw and immediately Googled up the MK website only to do a double take at the price of a kit. That was probably a little over a year ago maybe, and at the time I was heavily into building gasser helis so...

    10"x5" Xoar props group purchase

    I'd be a bit wary of using props that need to be made to order unless buying plenty of spares to have on hand for the eventual crash and resulting breakage. I think for the additional cost it may be easier and just as cost effective to use Graupners. Easy for me to say since I have about 2 dozen...

    Multi rotor camera mounts, the good, the bad, and the ugly

    Ok guys, lets start the ball rolling over here. I think an open and honest discussion about camera mounts for multirotor craft is a good place to start since we all seem to have some level of experience with them. I'll start by listing what I've used so far, the MK HiSight II, the PhotoshipOne...
