    Never had this happen before!

    Ken, I had something similar happen on a much smaller scale. As I was building a machine and testing LED's one of the strips had a gap in the adhesive backing that happened to line up with a set of the soldering pads. The bare copper dots made contact with the CF arm and shorted, creating some...

    Just tried a collective pitch heli...

    Ben, I can't help much from that perspective. I've been flying single rotor heli's since the mid eighties and only started with multi rotors last year. But I will say this: go ahead and keep practicing with that Blade Nano. If you can truly master precision hovering and fast forward flight in...

    Running 2 5.8ghz txs simultaneously

    Tom, somewhere on here I have a few pics of the setup. But basically the FPV TX is mounted high on a mast from the hub. It's a 400mW TX with left hand pola turbine antenna. The camera frame TX is mounted to the rear leg of a 3 axis CS gimbal. It's a 200mW TX with a right hand clover leaf...

    Running 2 5.8ghz txs simultaneously

    I've been doing this for a while with good results. Two 5.8 channels, spaced far apart, with left and right hand circular pola antennas for each system. It's been very reliable. nick

    Freefly Radian Owners' Thread

    I had the pleasure of meeting and spending a little bit of time with John and it's difficult to overstate how impressed I was. The man is truly brilliant. But even more incredible than his knowledge and skill was his ability to explain things at a very high level so that even an idiot like me...

    Hoverfly Max wind you Fly with your Octos

    It is a consideration for sure. If you have a separate operator with a 360° gimbal you'll have less top clearance before getting a prop/motor in the shot. nick

    Hoverfly Max wind you Fly with your Octos

    A few weeks ago I was flying in a river canyon where a dam is being removed and the winds were a steady 20mph with higher gusts. The strange thing is when you left the canyon the winds were light and variable. All I could guess was that cold air from the snow capped mountains flowed down the...

    Sony Lanc / AV cables

    Dave, I don't believe Sony has a D connector to only video RCA- apart from that LANC breakout cable. I ended up removing the audio cables and connectors from the cable I modified. nick

    Thank you! I have a Cinestar 8 with a Cinestar 3 axis gimbal. The machine control is via a MK stack and the gimbal control is via the new stabilizer system that FreeFly developed called the Radian. John Cunningham (of CARVEC) is the big brain behind the core functionality of the Radian system. I...

    I understand your frustration. If the camera had a true, full manual mode and a bit more latitude it would be nearly perfect. What I would love to have from Sony is a FS100 with BOSS. ;) For that Radian demo I shot most of the footage on manual exposure and manual white balance with the camera...

    Shot this over the last two months. Mostly with a CX760 but also had a 5 & 7D on there for a couple clips. Platform is a MK controlled CS8 with 3 axis CS gimbal fitted with early Radian boards. The Radian boards are impressive. Combined with the BOSS of the 760 it's a pretty compelling rig. The...
