Sorry but with the perceived distrust on Carbon Core's part they are now off my shopping list. I would truly worry if a company held its customers hostage like they seem to do. andy

The S1000 gimbal mount rails are suspended from the frame by rubber isolators. The ZenMuse GH3 comes with its own set of rubber isolators. So the question is, do you use both sets of isolators or mount the ZM GH3, bypassing its isolators, directly to the 4 brackets already fitted to the S1000...

Need the S1000 as we're going 3 axis and needed something to fly at over 10,000 feet. Seemed like the most cost effective way to do both. Would really like to have built up a Droidworx X8 (see my other post) but needs must ! Do buy your's from KLMS! andy

I am the construction side of Zaxis. I don't fly, just build. Its been a wild ride from our first Mikrokopter, thru Droidworx Y6, X8, TBS Disco and their rebuilds over the past 3 years. Inventing things as I went along, servo driven home built gimbal, LED drivers and rigs and so on. Figuring out...

Once in a while you have an experience that brings a smile to your face, I just had one. We needed a DJI S1000 for an upcoming job and they are near impossible to find 'in stock', they're all pre-sold. A sweep of UK dealers confirmed this until I talked to Kings Lynn Model Shop. They were just...

Dave... No problems flying with LiPo's yet, the Qatar link was just to show that airlines are becoming more aware and Qatar are ahead of the game. What is worrying is the drift towards high capacity 6S batteries for the likes of the S1000 and other heavy lift stuff. I've just come off the phone...

Clock/counter clockwise is a matter of where you are looking from. What's important is that the raised leading edge is catching the air and deflecting it downwards as it rotates.

From your pic it looks like you have the props set to rotate clockwise on top and counter clockwise underneath..... the wrong way. Swap bottom props to top and vice versa. andy

Jim ... Check leading edge of props are 'biting' into the air as they rotate. On a coax the lower props are mounted so that the top of the prop is next to the motor unlike the upper props which are mounted with their top way from the motor. andy

I just got out of the country, sent to the Antipodes by my company on a business trip. I'm sat here in sunny Oz, 28 deg C, blue sky, warm ocean, wonderful! Unfortunately I'm flying back to the UK today so that's the end of that. andy (Zaxis snr)

brilliant work Dave. You've really got that thing dialled in! looking forward to more (flying not flooding) Lec

Ha thanks Dave/Ben I'm sure you have been flying a lot more than me from the sounds of things! no I'm back for a few days then off again. I like to drop into the country see what the weathers doing every so often. looking forward to your vid. Lec

Hi guys thanks for the great feedback. Yeah it was done with the adx3/cx730 combo. We lucked out with the weather tho as it was great light to shoot in. in regards to soundtrack that credit had to go to Robbie at RM films as he is the man to make slick vids like this one. But yes sound is...

MR filming full size heli A project I worked on late last year that has just been released. Working in such close vicinity to a full size required some good comms. Really pleased with the final result. Lec

thanks that has kinda confirmed my suspicions that the 45c were bait overkill & due to the fact that they are out of stock everywhere means my hands are tied with the 6000 25c but they will do just fine. Lec

We have a skyjib x4 running gh3 zen and kopterworx k10 motors. we usually run this on gens ace 5800 45c batts but are struggling to find stock of new ones. Gens ace have 6000 25c rated batts that are available & the question is a) has anyone had any experience with the slightly lower c rated...

Good job, we've always found the CAA very helpful and it's nice see get positive feedback like this. andy

Weather is indeed the biggest factor to consider for work in the UK. The real problem is its unpredictability, you cannot make a reasonable decision to go for a job more than 24hrs before the due date. You need clients who are flexible and understanding. They will rarely need to cancel a shoot...
