I'd definitely recommend the Hitec 7985MG. I have just bought a couple for my homemade camera mount. Lots of torque, fast smooth action and high resolution. I also bought a Hitec HFP20 servo programmer which allows you to set speed/travel/resolution, etc on the servo. It also allows you to...

I'm sure it has been raised before but having experienced first hand a blazing Lipo I think the following link should be read by anyone planning on airline flying or just shipping Lipos by carrier...

Oh well, looks like you might have to order them direct from MikroKopter in Germany. When ever I order replacement bits from there I always add a few low cost items like mounts, threaded pillars, etc to the order just in case. It reduces the disproportionate delivery charges that always spoil...

Give quadcopters.co.uk Office Telephone: 01772 511495 Office Mobile: 07525 757700 a call, they are setting up as a UK Mikokopter agent so may have bits like this

Thumbing my way through the BA inflight magazine flying back from Canada I had to do a double take on this picture The article claimed it was leading edge nouvelle cuisine, a cheese sandwich, from a leading Stockholm hotel but I don't believe that for one minute

Great replies guys. At this event I met a photographer who has a heli setup but is struggling to fly it safe enough hence why he was so interested in the multi rotor. Keeping the sun of the electronics is a good one, not that we have had much of a summer over here though. its a good point that...

Im sure like a number of you guys on the forum we have all taken our MR's out and had various members of the public asking questions regarding it. Now for those of us who have flown at events and the interest is 10 fold, more than often from suspiciously curious photographers, videographers...

I can only imagine the amount of these consumer based 'toys' we are going to see cropping up everywhere. my one concern is they will open the floodgates of unskilled pilots giving our community a bad rep. discussion...

As Droider we use a Gentled shutter release Its basically an infra red LED with control chip on the end of a standard servo lead. Just plug it into a spare servo port on the FC and setup a transmitter switch channel to trigger it. Mount the LED somewhere that the sensor on the front of the NEX...

Our NEX-5 has been a superb camera so the NEX-5N should be also. It does lack an analog composite video out but we've just added a small video camera to the downlink transmitter mounted next to the camera lens. If someone can find a small, cheap HDMI to composite converter it will make thing...

Look at the Sony NEX-5N. Its an improved version of the NEX-5 with real 50/60p capability. Out next month . http://www.dpreview.com/previews/sonynex5n/

I know what you mean Bartman, sold my old G5 on there and almost fell over when i saw the invoice! There are apparently 18 million items on Ebay at any one time and if they were all being charged what I was then it's going to be hell of a christmas party at Ebay HQ!

A couple of months back we were flying our MK Hexakopter and it attracted the interest of a group of students from the local university. They were electronics engineers looking for ideas for their final year thesis. I spent a good few minutes showing them the inards of the kopter, explaining the...

No need for a PC to convert Mac .mts to .mov Aunsoft MTS Converter from www.aunsoft.com does the job just fine. I use it for NEX-5 files so should work for others. From what I can gather on various discussion forums, AVCHD 50i/60i files are actually 50p/60p but have to be erroniously refered to...

Thanks for the lead NomDePlume. Circlips ordered. Looking forward to safe flying.

Got the bearings today. Good service from www.arceurotrade.co.uk. Fitted them to 5 motors. Used a hammer,small screwdriver and the open jaws of an adjustable spanner. Removed the larger one first to get better access to remove the smaller. Pressed the new bearings in with a mid sized G clamp...

Thanks for the lead, Bartman. The Boca site is a mine of information. Since I'm in the UK, I used the info to track down a local bearings supplier. You would not believe how hard it is to find miniature imperial ball bearings in the country that invented the inch ! For any UK members, the...

After a hard life and the odd crash, the bearings on the 2827-35 motors on our MK Hexakopter sound decidedly rough. That is all except the rear, motor4, which has always been pointing in a safe direction when trouble has hit the others. So I need to know if it is possible or practical to replace...

A little nightime flying A small section from the MTB event I just worked at. Shot using MK Hexa & Sony NEX5. Very impressed with your quality stuff Jeff.
