    BMPCC, GH4, 5DmkIII, NEX7...did I miss any?

    MKIII, still an industry standard and coming from a t2i will make the transition a breeze. The GH4 looks HUGE plus they've got a new media card they invented for it (that allways works well). Still don't see any BM gear on sets which surprises me. All my HO.

    Baffled wiring a switch for gimbal

    you need to split your ground wire with one going to the switch and one going to the ubec (or whatever you're trying to get power to). The middle leg of the switch would be positive from the power source and the outside leg would be positive going to the device powered.

    Back-Bone Ribcage

    get a flashlight and take the kids ghost hunting in the basement...sorry, forgot you caleefornieens don't have basements. Set it up in your backyard at night and watch coyotes, their eyes will look like El Diablo (not the fighting chicken one).

    Back-Bone Ribcage

    that's some wibbily-wobbllly stuff, you may have to get some kind of clamp for the lens and let the body float. Man, if someone could make something for those lenses that has a bigger sensor and better form factor...

    TBS Discovery Pro

    Steve did you ever figure out the 22mm arms or just stuck to perfecting the 16mm? I finally got a used nex and was thinking about a y6 but after seeing Boltzman's disco, I may blow the dust off your old frame and go this route.

    AMAZING Aerial Freeride Mountain Biking Video from BirdsEyeVideos.com

    I saw this on the other forum, truly spectacular flying! I gotta get out to one of the fun flys and meet you guys, I'm losing motivation flying by myself. Was this down at the swell and where were you positioned on the hill?

    first build thread: lessons and learning to follow...

    Try plugging in this part#GS0163M, I'd still ditch the cone and go with a nylock. You have to grind a flat spot on the motor shaft so the grup screw bites, I like them waaaaay better than the cheap chinese aluminum collets, but I break things easily.

    Maybe these...http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=19586 I've used the graupner versions but Kloner says these are straighter. I put the motor in a baggy then poke the shaft out, a quick cut with the dremel and it was done.

    Light your copters! Cold light in time for holidays! Free Stuff!

    So I got my lights, I went for the strings and at first when I plugged them in they reminded me of a glow stick, this was in my shop right around dusk. I wasn't really impressed but then I tried them when it was dark out and WOW!!!! These things are very cool lights, the light it puts out is...

    Might take the bolt pattern dimensions and see if theiPower MT Prop Adapter/Cross from gotheli would work http://gothelirc.com/shopdisplayproducts.asp?id=179&cat=Prop+Adapters (bottom of the page). A suggestion I would give you is to ditch the nosecone prop bolt and go with a nylock nut of your...

    Motor lube check...

    I wouldn't waste time lubing the sealed bearings on your copter. I bought a bottle of bearing lube from my LHS a year and a half ago and probably have used 10 drops in that whole time. I'm not sure you'd want something that dries on something that spins at extremely hi speeds, just buy some...

    World's Most Overpriced Multi

    No offense taken moto, there does at times seem like a lot of waste in the industry, especially to someone not directly involved. But you're going by second hand info from someone in an office and not on the set (unless it's friday). Yeah sure there's scams, I know gaffers who've sold the same...
