How many minutes does your 2 or 3 cell battery power your monitor? I’m considering buying an 8” monitor with a built in 5.8 receiver, and not sure what size battery to get. Since I’m going to mount it to my radio, I want to keep the weight as low as possible. Thanks, Dezy

I hard mounted it to the top of my F550 frame, towards the front, and balanced it with the battery, which is also mounted on top. I used a piece of 1/8 " modeling plywood and using nylon screws and nuts, using rubber grommets as spacers between the frame and plywood to dampen any vibrations -...

Thanks, Cnewski I did some tests to see what I could lift at 50% throttle and found I could lift more than I had originally figured. So, I bought and NEX-R on Ebay for $270 :tennis:

Great! I'll look for one. Thanks, Kloner Dezy

I'll be carrying an NEX-5R with the kit 15-55MM lens.

I think I would only need to be able to tilt. Any recommendations? Thanks, Dezy

Maybe, they are guarding a nest that is in the area.

I recently came accross this video clip showing a hawk vs. MR......... http://fox5sandiego.com/2014/10/08/angry-bird-hawk-knocks-drone-out-of-the-sky/

I found a web site that allows you to compare the size and weight of different cameras: http://camerasize.com/

Hi Racer, Very nice camera, but I'm using a rather small quad and would like to keep the weight of the camera under 10 oz.......

Excellent - Thanks, AP I'll look at the GM1. The ability to change the lens would be nice, and its weight looks to be in the the same range as the RX100.

What would be a good camera for photography, that shoots raw images? I would like to keep its weight to about 6 - 9 ounces. I'm looking at the Sony DSC-RX100/B 20.2 MP for about $500. Does anybody like another fairly-light camera? Thanks, Dezy

I'm pretty happy with the result. It does feel a little unstable in Manual mode, using the NAZA Lite, but in Attitude and GPS modes, its stable and smooth in flight and holds position easily.

Super - found it there. Thanks, Mongo!

I have a Futaba 14SG and want to turn down the sensitivity of the sticks – at least until I can get mo-beda.:02.47-tranquillity: I’ve read that other radios use an “expo” adjustment, but I’ve not found that on either the radio, or its manual. Does Futaba call it the “trim rate”, instead? I’m...

Thanks, Kloner These are Nano-tech 4S 4000Mah 25-50C batteries. I balance charge them to about 4.18 v per cell, before the charger’s timer goes off, and usually takes about 50 min. / 4 amp charge to put back in 2700 Mah. This is after keeping a light F550 quad aloft for 10 min. with 8” props on...

I measured the Internal Resistance of my 4 cell 4000mAh batteries that had just a couple flights on them with my 208B iCharger. One had 22 mOhms and the other had 24. Using the formula found earlier in this thread: (12000 / C rating of battery) (number of cells). Using this formula my batteries...

Interesting! Thanks, Corey, for taking the time and being willing to sacrifice some LEDs! 0.2 volts used to light two 30 cm strips for 15 minutes doesn't sound like much of a loss in flight time. The price seemed pretty reasonable - my hobby shop wanted 2-3 times as much.

Thanks, Corey. I'm going to check with some guys at work today - I'm thinking a better way to connect 12 LEDs to a 4 cell may be to place a resistor in line to knock the voltage down a little. I'll post an answer if I find it.
