Have any bugs surfaced with the Alta 8. I have heard rumours of a Flight Control issue.

Why not contact George Mamo ? gmamo@hotmail.com

I have almost every Picloc Toolz with corresponding firmware going back to Picloc v2 and TRv3. If the other two posted here don't work, give me a shout.

Haven't been here for a while. Here is an assorted reel. Shot mostly on a GH3

3000 ft is very conservative. It will still work at 3000 meters with that configuration - although it would be puffing a bit with the effort! As the altitude increases and the air thins you need to consider changing to longer or increased pitch props to maintain performance. So for example, if...

Has anyone out there managed to get the AUX 1 output of the GCU to actually change the BMPCC aperture? The Z15-BMPCC differs from the GH3 and GH4 versions in that AUX 1 serves a purpose, it is 'reserved' on the others, but although the software assistant shows the three position switch...

It is time to reduce the number of idle aircraft sitting around here. This Droidworx AD-8 HLE is far and away the most consistent, reliable and predictable in the air of all the helicopters and Multirotors that I have or have had. It can be sold with whatever you would like, in terms of extras...

A couple of years ago I was involved to a small degree with Intuitive Aerial when the Aerigon was still known as the Black Armored Drone and the subject of the Flight Control was raised. Specifically, the choice of the DJI A2 for such an expensive piece of kit ... built specifically to carry...

I cannot say that I have had any significant issues with the A2, certainly no more than the WKM, and my IMU is never mounted central. Some folks seem to be able to get away with basic double-sided tape for mounting the IMU, I always use Kyosho Gel to help with isolating the IMU. Your Basic gain...

I know. You felt "dirty".

Thanks.

I am just giving an X-8 an overhaul and the question of rotation for upper and lower props came into my mind. It is currently set up as two independent quads with the lower quad rotated 90° so that each boom has a CW prop and a CCW prop. Theoretically this means that you can lose the entire top...

You can bind as many receivers to a single transmitter as you like - including in addition to the A2 built in Rx. I have always used two receivers, one for aircraft control and one for the camera/mount.

Yup! I have long advocated a two tiered FC system whereby experienced/professional operators have wider access to parameter adjustment and less experienced/dickheads are much more restricted. Evaluation procedures with registration and the issue of a certificate of some nature would precede...

We gave up being diplomatic years ago when talking about DJI. There is little doubt that it would have been a Phantom, not because the Phantom itself is bad, but because it is really affordable, sold everywhere and the glossy DJI marketing blares in your face that it does everything by itself...

If I were God for a day the bleeding Phantom would be abolished. A curse on the poxy damn thing and the great ignorant unwashed that are able to afford it.

Damn. And I was hoping for 100.002%! I do a lot of one-man stuff and use the two receiver method. It gives me access to all the workarounds mentioned above. You do need 14 radio channels mind you to get 3-axis control plus record/shutter and the Oh-So-Useful 90° down flip on the Zens. But when...

The more things change .... the more they stay the same.

The One-Man update Other than a bit of cost saving on receivers, I don't see the attraction of the One-Man Op feature. Two receivers does the job and changing between One-Man and Two-Man takes about four seconds to rebind the Zen Rx to whichever Tx is required to operate it. What would be a...

Really? I have just installed the Pro Plus puck with its obligatory FW2.4 upgrade on the second airframe that the Z15-GH2 previously functioned with and it now rejects the Zen. When powered up all seems normal and the Z15 spins its regular initialising dance. But as soon as it stops and faces...
