    Impressions after first shoot with S800 and Z15 w/ NEX5n

    Really nice- it's very smooth. Only shame is the dirt/dust on the lens. I've learned the hard way you need to check it constantly. nick

    Sorry to hear about that, pling. No matter the cause it's always a terrible feeling to have something like that happen. nick

    Which antenna for which device?

    I've had good success with the turbines. I'm using identical antennas on TX & RX. Solid video out to 2k' which is as much as I'll ever need. I've used the clover/SPW combo's but I'm having better results with these turbines for my FPV. It might be because I have two video links on these birds...

    Which antenna for which device?

    More lobes on the receiver side give better multi path rejection. So typically a cloverleaf is on the TX. You could also use identical antennas on both TX and RX.

    Smart OSD(mk)

    I got them early on and dealt directly with Irek in Poland. Not sure if they have a dealer for US sales now. But if not they are good guys and you can order with confidence.

    Two clients want me to fly their RED EPIC cameras - advice?

    Stock QC3328 motors. 5S is good but 6S is really the right way to go long term IMO.

    Two clients want me to fly their RED EPIC cameras - advice?

    I did a fair amount of testing with a CS8 reaching AUW of 17.6lbs on 4S. Using two TP 6600mAh 45C packs gave flight times of 7:30 on average until 14V/10,500mAh consumed. The machine with batts installed ready to fly was 10.1lbs and the load was 7.5lbs in the form of a chunk of stainless steel...

    First pic of the Z15

    Nice stable footage. I've read this somewhere but I forget, is the Z15 self contained or does it require connection to a DJI FC as well?

    Mikrokopter v0.88 emergency-throttle settings

    Gary, I don't think I saw those tests from Jeff and Holger. Do you happen to have any links? I let the thing get to 3' before I bailed- those were nerves of steel! :D If nothing else Holger needs to slow the descent rate at a slightly higher altitude.

    Thanks Al. Just curious what precisely was going on- what is the incompatibility the conditioner solves?

    Hoverfly HoverflyGIMBAL and Cinestar gimbal - anyone got this combo working?

    What are the conditioners? Some kind of inline module between the servo cable to the HFG?
