    Question about the quad that almost fell on skier Marcel Hirscher

    I doubt anyone is gonna fess up. It will likely take outside reporting to learn any more about it. Scary moment.

    I'd say something here but Bart would censor it;)

    Blade Chroma with CGO3 4k

    Thanks for looking:) I thought it presented some of what the unit could do fairly well. Glad you had the screen resolution and good bandwidth. A problem with high resolution video (this one in 1080) is that people with slow internet or less than 1080 screen resolution can only view at their...

    FAA Announces Small UAS Registration Rule

    Down load them from the FAA registration site. I did that awhile back but the computer I had them in toasted the hard drive.

    They assign some pretty strange tail numbers... Have mine now.

    FAA Announces Small UAS Registration Rule

    Scud runners. Ducking under a layer to cancel IFR and obtain a visual approach faster than they would obtain a precision approach. Usually Darwin thins that herd fairly quickly.

    FAA Announces Small UAS Registration Rule

    AT 06:15 on the Left Coast the FAA system was not yet operational. The web page states it will go live sometime today, the 21st. The full scale registration links all work though....

    Clearance Sale at 3DRobotics, IRIS+ just $399, NEW!

    Looks like they're dumping everything. The monitor they supplied in the Live View kit used to be a Black Pearl that was re-labeled. $99.00 for the whole kit is crazy cheap. Perhaps indicative of the profit margins in this game...

    Clearance Sale at 3DRobotics, IRIS+ just $399, NEW!

    The sale price of the Iris pretty much means you get a new Pixhawk with a copter tossed in for free.

    Clearance Sale at 3DRobotics, IRIS+ just $399, NEW!

    The Iris uses the same general flight system, but with a better controller, as the early 3DR quad. Meaning it will carry a lot more weight than a Go Pro and Tarot gimbal and still have fairly good flight time.

    Looked at the price of the 64gig SanDisk micro SD in the link. If you have a Costco nearby you can get one for ~$22.00. Costco online has them at $27.00. They handle video capture very well.

    Blade Chroma with CGO3 4k

    Starting to get this one figured out. We don't get days in the Gorge with so little wind very often, which can make for a pretty smooth river.

    Kelly Slater creats perfect man made wave

    First chance you get make a trip to La Jolla in So Cal when a big south is hitting in the middle to late fall. That's when the hurricanes slam Baja and pump some nice size into California while the air is still warm. Or wait for January through March and head up to Lincoln City, Oregon to...

    Just took a look at their site. The -WiFi with gyro anti shake runs $139.00. That's not bad at all for something this small to have image stabilization.

    Blade Chroma with CGO3 4k

    Thanks for posting! The Chroma works the same way in Smart and Angle modes. Smart mode is for the beginner or someone that wants to capture the smoothest imagery possible. Angle opens up the speed range a little and puts more responsibility for directional control in the hands of the...

    Kelly Slater creats perfect man made wave

    I can't really put it into words, incredible is a massive understatement. I've indirectly followed Slater's career since he was a young kid in Florida, and of all the professional surfers he has now captured the pinnacle of success over all that have gone before or after him. The guy that...
