The time for the tough talk with the fancy words was before the ruling, not after. They had plenty of notice that this was happening and everyone tried to "get along" thinking that somehow this only effects the other guy. Pay the $5 buck and shut up. Count it as a vegetable and move on...

Depends on who you think the big boys are? If your talking about the big companies in our fledgling industry they are the ones behind this effort, along with a couple of attorney who have seemingly sold out for gainful employment. https://www.airmap.io/ Its odd how most of the people...

Where's a good place to buy the Tarots?

I have the H3, its pretty cool. I have not connected it to FC, just use an SBUS Rx and its good to go. Recently I saw that someone was using the Bluetooth module in a Sony QX1 to operate the camera and to stream 720P. I don't know how much lag there is or what Bluetooth module they were using...

Got it, very cool.

Not sure exactly what the "nub arms" are, but I think I get the idea. Is that a Gremsy H3 gimbal?

Ill behave myself on your forum...

How would you use retract on an X8?

Are there any good quality retracts available?

Glad to be back. I agree that a "well maintained" helicopter can be more reliable however, that doesn't actually make it safer, the type of mission plays an important part in this and for the most part the drone operator isn't responsible for development of the commercial drone they fly. In...

Its been a while since I posted here, what a place to start... After watching the original video and reading this thread, I'm a bit surprised at the reaction. Most of the flight appeared to be on the side of the freeway and the overpass, except for where it turned the corner, chances are that...

Does anyone else see the ludicrousness of this? Its great that this person got a COA, but the reason it was given is a joke: “The proposed exemption would allow Trudeau to operate the PHANTOM 2 Vision+ quad-copter unmanned aircraft system (UAS) to conduct aerial videography and cinematography...

Old Man, I think when all of us talk about statistics (and our direct experiences) we need to make sure of the context in which they are collected and disseminated. I'm not aware of a single collision between a civilian aircraft and civilian sUAS especially at or below 400 feet AGL. Since you...

Really!? I don't understand why you make things personal when people express an opinion or idea that differs from yours, but since you did: What percentage of your total hours are spent flying below 18,ooo feet? Compared to what percentage of my total time is spent below 1500 feet? What...

Your a pilot and know that's utter crap. Helicopter's do not routinely fly at whatever altitudes they like. If I fly below 500 feet AGL I, and every helicopter pilot I know fly's VFR flight following and there are very few helicopters flying at such low altitudes. I have more than 2000...

People have been making that argument for six years and it hasn't happened. Planes stay above 500 feet AGL, drones below 400 feet AGL and there is very little risk of a midair collision.

Yes, about four years ago I received a letter from the LA Sheriff's department, sponsored by LA Film to the California Association of Realtors informing them that using drones to take aerial photography of property for sale might be illegal. More recently they sent a letter to some of the...

I’m sure many of you in the US have seen this Esurance commercial: “That’s not how this work, that’s not how any of this works...” Getting 1000 members on Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn isn’t how this works either. Its that old saying, “You can’t be everything to everybody.” Neither can the...

I think an X8 for a GH4 is a bit much. I've just completed a Hex and have been flying a Y6, both handle to GH4 on a 2-axis gimbal with ease. I'm using KDE 3510-475KV motors, 35A KDE ESC's, 15" folding props. With one 6000MaH 6S battery and my Sony NEX5n I have an AUW of approximately 12 pounds...

Hi David, not sure if I mentioned this before but welcome to the forum. It doesn't sound as if you've had much experience building or flying multirotors -- not to worry we all started that way, its good to ask questions but its much better if you purchase a small quad kit, build it and fly the...
