Great to know! I'll be doing that later after some projects settle down.

I bought the heli version right off the bat, so it didn't have the ratcheting on the throttle. Sorry if it sounded like I removed it; I was just justifying why no ratcheting on the throttle is desireable and why I am glad I have the heli version. However, I still do have it on RS and plan to...

As maverick indicated, I'm all for smoother transitions on all my controls. Just as he indicated, I use the RS for gimbal tilt as well and the ratcheting was really messing with my video. As far as ratcheting on the throttle, again, I want precise control of my throttle for smooth motion...

Sorry, gtransquilla, I would disagree with you. I would never want ratcheting on any of controls. As far as Tx mode, I only use helicopter mode, and I'd say many people I know personally have it setup the same way, as well as RTF vendors. I know there are plenty out there that use airplane...

Gmahan3, I have not had to do that, but I know once upon a time a saw a YouTube video on it. Basically there is a little clip on the back side (covers off) that produces the ratchet, and I think you just remove it. ... I found one that should help... http://youtu.be/RQ6ouHCtvXY

Same here.

I agree. It seems like an extension mounted as you show would be the best. I'm gonna look into getting one.

How about the 2.5K one? I see prices for them, but maybe not out yet?

Here's two videos for hotels I did during my last trip to Costa Rica. Hopefully it'll give you all the urge to go visit. ;) Got one more project to wrap up from that trip... hopefully finish it in the next day or two once the customer approves.

*Both* were good... but confused. When I clicked on the link that came in the e-mail, it was the same song but different video (one of a gimbal test), then the one above of the disco. Did you edit the link after posted?

Ben, it does it automatically as soon as GPS position has been established. It's the fast green flashes you see shortly after powerup once 5 GPS satellites have been tracked. From the manual: "Home-point: Before takeoff, current position of multi-rotor will be saved as home-point by MC...

Ben, Kari, others... Seeing the discussion we had above about music, I started a new thread so we can help eachother out with music resource. http://www.multirotorforums.com/showthread.php?14917-Music-Resouces-for-Our-Video-Producitons

Definitely. All you need is an available channel on your Tx & Rx, and wire it up to the corresponding input for those controls.

Recently on the Show What You Filmed thread there were some resouces shared regarding places to acquire music suitable for what we do. As such, I thought I'd start this thread and start with a list I have put together of places I have visited in an attempt to find music. Please chime in with...

robyr1, I'm not too familiar with the 7008, but there is whole other thread on this forum discussing the 7008 between a few of the guys that have them You might want to check out that thread.

Montoya, yes, I agree this can all be confusing. Initially I read the 6208 documentation that way, but then found out that the A/B setting was only for programming external devices, not the receiver itself. So its PWM outputs are always 1-8, and the SBUS outputs are whatever the Tx says (no...

Thanks Mav. Yes, those were the ones I was thinking about.

Hey Ben, I totally hear you and I am very hesitant for the same reasons.. jaja. We're all on this journey together and some are further along than others, and we learn from them. But I loved you shots and the overall smoothness. You have some great landscape and picturesque places in your...

So I had wanted to do that, and naively I thought I could with the 6208. The problem is in the Rx. You would have to get an Rx that you can "program" the outputs. But the 6208s have the individual wires hard coded to channels 1-8 (no way around that, at least that I have found, even though I...

Yes, your drawing captures it correctly. I actually drew it up myself, and you beat me to it. You are exactly right. You could go 9-12, but I figured use DG1/DG2 for the shutter/video combo, and save 9-10 for when I hook up the other SBD and add roll and FPV control. Yes, so both...
