PRODUCT REVIEW: Think Tank Photo Airport Helipack There are two hobbies that I have always wanted to be able to experience together, motorcycle riding and multirotors. So imagine my surprise when a DJI Phantom-specific backpack, made by the fine folks at ThinkTankPhoto.com, showed up on the...

TTRobotix Super Hornet X650 Build and Review sponsored by HobbyRecreationProducts.com. Occasionally you get an opportunity to test something that is outside your comfort zone. Anyone who knows me will tell you that I like to tinker with things…. A lot! Motorcycles, 3D printers, multirotors…...

$80 Shipped to your door! Hey folks. I have a brand new set of 215mm clearance Quadframe/Jakub landing gear for sale. I only opened the box and assembled it, only to realize it is not quite the size I need. NEVER FLOWN, OR EVEN BEEN OUT OF THE HOUSE! With various holes for flexible mounting...

The local PBS up here Vermont runs BBC and then PBS news hour back to back. The BBC had a segment highlighting DJI showcasing their Inspire at a field "way outside Las Vegas" so they could fly outdoors, and of course away from the crowds. The PBS news hour had a really nice segment about the...

Good grief!

Figured I'd start this thread for the folks that own, and are now actually using the Phobotic CenterPiece gimbal controller (both the standard or high voltage versions). Based on following the original threads (on forums to remain nameless), I'd ask that we keep this....if not professional, at...

Hey folks. I have been setting up a system for viewing the output from my sony nex5n on a ground monitor. The system consists of the sony (NTSC), an HDMI to SD converter (bought used, not sure of brand - typical HDMI in and servo out), immersionRC VTX, immersionRC uno and a RMRC 8" monitor...

Looking for the trick that is apparently escaping me. I'm trying to slide some braces (with rubber grommets) off some carbon fiber tubes - and MAN, they don't want to come. I've tried soapy water, silicone spray. Even tried a hair of heat. At this point I need the sure-fire trick. What'd'ya...

Have to admit I wasn't aware of this new offering until recently - and I must have signed up for the email alert when they finally hit the market. Not sure I'm willing to be part of the early adopters for so etching as complicated as a gimbal controller, but it seems to be promising that another...

For the past few builds I have been aiming to purchase all parts from local (USA for me) suppliers. Despite the products often being made in China, the retailers domestically have been able to provide the selection I've needed. Parts arrive quicker and often price out about the same when you...

Hey folks. Please excuse the long-winded post. Trying to be as clear as possible. I've been toiling away with a used 2-axis gimbal I picked up for practicing with a Nex5n. Most of the controllers I've used until now have been proprietary (zenmuse and tarot for gopro). This new gimbal make is...

Hey folks. I purchased a used 2-axis gimbal with Martinez V3, iPower GBM4008-150T and GBM4006-150T for sony nex size camera - believe it must have been built from a kit (no brand/model listed anywhere). It's my first foray into the world of larger gimbals (let the tuning games begin!)...

SOLD! Thanks MRF!!!! Hey folks, We have here a barely used (still has the factory protective film on the screen!!!) Futaba 14SG radio package complete with the 7008SB s.bus receiver. This thing has barely been used. Went a different way for my Tx, so this one is priced to move, and can be...

I am having no luck signing on to the black box site. Have tried Mac, PC and 2 different browsers. Anyone having the same issue? Really frustrating that there is no local program to be able to read the vital data.

Hey folks, I've had this bench top motor/prop thrust tester project on the back burner for a while, and I want to see if I can button it up tonight. Just want to run the process by you to see if there are any tweaks or fixes before I fire it up. I've been a little frustrated by the lack of info...

We need some action here folks! Let's get the word out. Already we are getting traction on Facebook and other forums. What better day to feel like the Founding Fathers and give rise to our voices? Stick a feather in your cap this July 4th and sign the petition to protect our right to...

Quick Back-story: I was in the planning stages of my last build - a hexa mid-lifter, and had settled on the SunnySky 3508-20 580kv motor, coupled with some RTF tweaked SimonK flashed Ice-Blue series 2-6S Opto ESCs with the filtering removed for "pancake" motors. I had a panic moment after...

Hey folks. Quick question regarding the osdmini wiring. I have the little harness that includes 4 wires for connecting to the side of the OSD. The problem is, the seawolf Pixim camera I have only has 3 outputs (+/- and video). It doesn't have the video ground. Do I need to tie the video ground...

I'm using the frsky FAS100 current/ampere sensor (older unit) on my quad. It's connected to the vario and lipo sensor to get into the newer x8R (the vario acts as a translator from older sensor style to the newer smart port). The documentation is basically geared toward single ESC/motor style...

Quick question: think it's ok to put a bit of heat shrink on a step down converter? I assume that these things dissipate excess power as heat, but I figured I could open some holes on the top for air. I'd be more comfortable not leaving it wide open to the elements on top of the craft.
