    Battery for the AV130

    Makes perfect sense thanks. What type of voltage regulator set up are you using. Rc-drones sells a prewired 5v or 6v Bec with servo leads that works well for gimbals. Would this type of set up work from 2s to av 130 and skyline controller? http://www.rc-drones.com/SBEC_harness.php

    Battery for the AV130

    Any suggestions on what type of battery I should use for the Av 130 with Skyline gimbal controller? It says its safer to use a source independent of the FC.

    Something like this might work, I haven't found exact dimensions of this piece but this is the idea. Its used on a turnigy talon frame. I want to keep my power distro board from my flame wheel otherwise I would just replace the whole frame...

    F550 carbon tube arm replacement.

    I like my f550 frame, but I think it could be lighter. Anyone ever heard of replacing the arms with carbon tubes? I am working on a design for a plastic collar that will hold the arm and the top and bottom plate together. I'm just beginning R&D and wanted to know if anyone heard of any mods...

    Well thats what one might think, but heard 4000 NZD for the Hero 1000, and a whole, whole lot more for the others. Which is why I wonder what customer spends that much money on a gimbal for a consumer sports cam. Even for a thermal imaging cam. Although you are right we should wait and see...

    Can anyone explain the potential market for a $3000-$4000 gopro gimbal? These gimbals seem to have a lot of potential once they get through R&D, but I can't imagen the application that would justify a a gimbal made for a gopro that is 10 times the cost of the camera. Not bashing, just dont get it.

    Switching Battery Leads

    Hey, so I am switching leads. I have all Deans connectors now and I am fend up on how difficult they can be. They are not that fun to solder, they are not that fun to connect and they suck to disconnect. Before I re-solder all my batteries and quads I was hoping for some input from the...

    Alti Mode Dropping

    Problem seems to have disappeared. It must have been some strange interference from in or around the warehouse space. The space has a large open bay door on the second floor where I was flying so it could have been shifty barometric pressure being on the second floor of a warehouse with an...

    No signal when TX is powerd.

    Well, today Kloner you can call me an moron. I was looking at the 5 pin backwards when soldering. So I thought I was looking at the ground being all the way to the right, but it was backwards so I was soldering a to the pin all the way to the left. Works now, thanks for helping me work through that.

    Ok so out of the gopro there is a yellow wire for video, and a red and white for audio (which i am not using). wrapped around the yellow video wire out of the gopro is a ground wire. Here is a photo of the yellow wire wrapped in a ground wire, the ground wire from the gopro is soldered to a...

    No signal when TX is powerd.

    Dammit, didn't work. The ground is the wire is wrapped around the yellow video wire coming out of the gopro right? Also I'm using a tvlogic monitor, used for cinema and dslr video, so when the no video appears on the screen it's the same as no signal. So when the tx is off the rx is still...

    No signal when TX is powerd.

    Hey new to fpv and have what I hope is an easy fix. I am using a 5.8 system form range video.com. When the rx is plugged in I get static, as soon as I power up the tx I lose static and get a "no video" screen in my monitor. I am using a gopro camera for now but it doesn't matter if it's plugged...
