    The next rig for Yonder Blue Films - "Less Is More"

    A lot of people like to bash on DJI flight controllers citing more reports of unexplained flyaways. For sure these do occur (normally there ultimately is an explanation), but they also occur with other flight controllers like mikrokopter etc...you just don't hear about it as much. Fact is...

    A2 at sea on this research yacht

    I have an upcoming shoot on this vessel, 3 weeks at sea. Please take a look at that radio stack on board, and tell me what issues I should be aware of in terms of potential interference, what precautions should I take, what shall I make the bridge turn off during flight ops (radar ? etc), and am...

    The next rig for Yonder Blue Films - "Less Is More"

    the KDE published motor specs are AMAZING. the KDE XF 4014 380kv is 100 grams lighter weight than the TMotor U7, with apparently higher lifting capacity. That's saving almost 2 POUNDS off a U7 X8 machine. I just got my set and we are testing them now. I originally got the Tmotor 490kv and tested...

    single-pilot A2 with MoVI and Futaba?

    So what's the deal with channel mapping on the A2? 1-5 cannot be reassigned, but MoVI has some mapping limitations as well. I need to be able to set up my copter to fly single pilot with tilt control, as well as normal dual operator. Does anyone here have a solution for this?

    New Tiger (Tmotor) U7 490kv motors x 9

    YOU CANNOT FIND THESE ANYWHERE RIGHT NOW! I'm going a different route and selling mine. Two have been bench tested, spooled up literally for no more than 10 minute each. The rest are brand new and we have all pristine boxes etc... Wires were trimmed in anticipation of our build, but we can...

    The next rig for Yonder Blue Films - "Less Is More"

    haha! how do you think I felt having to drop $15K? when I know the hardware is less than $1k. Most painful purchase I ever made. But I had jobs coming and I did not have time to mess around with Alexmos, so I felt I had to do it.

    The next rig for Yonder Blue Films - "Less Is More"

    I can vote plus one for the Freefly MoVI. I am flying the M10 and... it.just. plain. works. Easy balancing. no fussing. Of course, if you wait a couple months, maybe Alexmos will be equally user friendly.

    DJI A2 Official Users' Thread

    Yeah, so why did you buy an S800 or anything DJI? Lots of other choices out there... Anyone with even a cursory perusal of these forums would note all kinds of warning threads about the S800, the gear problems, the vibrations, flip of death etc.... I personally have had 100% solid reliable...

    2014 - best ESC at the moment?

    hey Kloner, So I'm buidling a rig that will fly DSLR sized payload say 70% of the time, and RED maybe 30% of the time. Yea, yeah, I know what you will say... I need two different rigs. But that's not happening right now. I got the U7's for 6s X8 configuration and getting ready to strap them on...

    2014 - best ESC at the moment?

    I bench tested my U7's in coax configuration with the Hobbywing Platinum Pro 70A ESC's on 6s. I tried the APC 16" MR props and APC 18" MR props. We ran the motors in coax for 5 minutes pulling 25amps total. For some reason the ESC's are getting hot. Ambient air temp is only 40F. 16" props result...

    DJI A2 and Spektrum transmitters - something to consider!

    Just a heads up if you are building your fancy new HL multicopter and you want to fly your Spektrum radio with the A2 then you will be limited to 8 channels. I just found this out the hard way, after I spent all the money. :0(

    Anyone want to sell me a Wookong M with V2 IMU? :tennis:

    DJI A2 Performance/Build Comparisons

    Excuse my ignorance, but would the potential limit of only 8 channels also be true with Wookong M and a Spektrum DX18? Or is that only an A2 thing? I can't seem to find a solution for my new heavy lift build. I was going to go Futaba but apparently telemetry is not possible with Futaba when I'd...

    DJI A2 Performance/Build Comparisons

    So is there an actual issue with using Spektrum radios and the A2? I can't tell from reading earlier posts here if that was a definite problem or just a passing thought by one person (Droider.)
