Interesting, I've never noticed that myself. Do you know why it would make a difference?

Why would you need to leave the positive for throttle calibration? Only to power the TX you may be using?

EC5's are a great choice. Once you get the hang of it they are way easy to solder. Use a butane hobby torch and you can bang them out really quick and very secure. Never had an issue, sometime the bullet connections can become lose in the plastic casing if not seated properly, however even in...

Actually some companies make tethered multitrotors the come out of the back of pickup trucks for boarder survalance. Basically acts like a camera on a pole.

I find the props to be quite nice, but I had a prop adapter snap on me during a job. This was the T motor prop adapter for U7 motors. Wasn't over torqued, but just snapped when screwing on the prop nut. Now I only use CF to just avoid the whole prop adapter.

does it have to stabilize or just be able to move around? there are some good ones on readymaderc.com

It be cool if it had treads and vtol abilities. The ground unit could carry the bulk of the tethered com/ power wires and then a smaller tethered MR could detach and fly on if terrain becomes unsuitable for the terrestrial robot.

Hey guys, As gimbal set ups get bigger the traditional dampeners don't work so well. Even a fully loaded M10 maxes out the cinestar ring dampener system. I am looking into options that will support heavier loads. Any recommendations?

the movi uses its own board, I don't know how many bits but its separate from alexmos all together. At least I believe it is.

I would skip the ronin for aerial. I've heard nothing but bad news on the roll drift.

Well one thing I can say about the movi is it works great sometimes. But the problem is all the single point of contact on single tube. When you are flying a fully loaded rig it starts to slip very slightly but enough to through the gimbal out of whack. They may have solved this with the M5 and...

ah true, didn't think about the analog/ digital component.

but even 15' is flooded with wifi.

ya but that is a really busy band

how does it work?

What board does this use?

Yup found some state side, I just didn't know what to search for except 8 way ribbon cable. I was having trouble finding the ones with the right end piece, but with this info I found a supplier locally

Ya I lost a whole board due to micro match. Also agree with what @Carapau is saying in terms of losing yaw control with one motor. However if you loss 4, all of which spin one way would be a bad situation. Which is why I use the stacked quad configuration. I'm not sure about the 20% loss...

I've always done this mixing method, even before I had a Herk board. I'm currently flying all 18"s but I'll probably put 17"s on top. It has way better yaw authority. I used to fly 15" and 16" but when I upgraded my motors I just bought all 18"s. I would highly recommend this mixing setup...

Glad to hear it! Because I had a whole board go out, if my motors were set to dji specs I would have been f'd! Could you supply a link to the new cable with terminal ends? Thanks for posting this in the first place also!
