I'm one of those "lighting guys" (non union) been a Key Grip for 30 years and can't remember how many pieces of hardware, nuts and bolts, tools etc. have been given away on jobs. At any one time I personally carry around 15K worth of stuff all for a crappy 50 bucks a day box rental. Don't want...

at the minimum. Most guys shoot for a rig that could potentially carry the red epic, although now with the black magic pocket pool camera, some of the big rigs are overkill. The phantom vision is a perfect starter rig for someone who just wants to get into the hobby and maybe film his personal...

That is AWESOME!!!!!! Why did it crash, did the Silence fall?

There's really no rhyme or reason to it, I've gotten new batts with xt60's, some with that blue banana plug and some just bare wires with heat shrink. The best thing is find one of those octopus charging cables that has like 10 different plugs, you'll find a need for a couple different plug...

yes.

The stock 550 can't lift much more than an nex5 with no gimbal. There are however a couple of products that allow you to run longer arms on the f-series, allowing you to run larger motors that can spin larger props. It really is a large jump in ship size going from the gp3 up to the nex...

The general rule in electricity, as in life, female goes to power. Having a male/female banana plug setup insures you don't connect the leads up wrong.

I know guys who are using it along with their easy-rig, really takes the weight and allows you to guide the camera more.

and then you have gewgal's take...http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-25212514 Man, human's must SUCK at low skill jobs that corporations have to spend this kind of dough...

Think about how stupid this is, porch theft is bad enough, now the thief just has to sit outside the distro center and follow the booty. I'll go out on a limb and predict the entire fleet of octos will be stolen on day 1. I''ll go even farther out on the limb and say a rash of new AP business'...

I'd have that thing stripped down to bare parts before bezos could say kindle. Lemme guess, any footage captured from on board camera's will be sold directly to the NSA for a small fee, nice business model Jeff!

Wonder if the guy was flying through the nex cuzz he sure seemed calm while the nose was going 90 degrees up. I feel for the guy, "There for the grace of paypal go I".

Who'd a thunk the first flying dress would be created with the help of Lady Gaga?http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/entertainment2/57111461-223/album-dress-gaga-lady.html.csp

Do you mean the motors stop like after five seconds of getting them started? It's a safety thing the naza has, you have to raise throttle above 10% to keep the motors on.

That was AWSOME Bart! I've built six different copters now and I'm still gonna follow this thread. LOL@8:45, two words- Ginkgo Biloba... Well done sir, well done.

It's a nice gimbal for those who don't want to deal with pid tuning or balancing the camera. I ditched the gopro lens cover they supply and went to a velcro strap so I can still use the polarpro filter set (was getting a slight bit of port holing when I used it). Super powerful little motors...

I'm pretty sure they're floating detention centers for those who refuse to sign up for Google Plus, or just your run of the mill Soylent Green processing center that will operate in international waters.

Just don't put a gopro on it or charge the neighborhood kids for rides and you should be golden.
