    New NZ online store

    haha took the words out of my mouth. There are already enough retailers in NZ that are full of misinformation and bad advice (and usually out of date, over priced products). We should start a support group!

    Ipower 8028 90T motor on pan

    After a fair bit of research I decided to go with this motor to control the pan axis of my 3 axis (handheld gimbal). The gimbal is carrying a Canon 60D with the tokina 11-16mm lens. I decided to use a large pan motor as I am shooting out of a full size helicopter and need the torque to hold...

    Safety is no accident

    To be honest, I can understand the issues that the FAA and CAA are facing to a certain point. Flying a full size Schweizer 300 a couple of weeks back I was surprised to see a "toy" helicopter flying at 1200' (1100 ft AGL). Looked like a 2 channel single rotor to me as we passed it at 70kt but...

    DIY Folding Travel Y6

    Nice work Pete. I am tuning my first Y6 at the moment - basically a modified Tarot 680 with longer arms and Y6 layout. Trying to figure out the APM at the same time! What FC are you using on this?

    To Ecilop or not to Ecilop?

    One thing that I like about the Ecilop is that its an integrated package - you don't have to worry about putting things together, the frame and gimbal work together really well. You never get props or landing gear in the shot and it has vibration isolation built in. So far I think its easier to...

    To Ecilop or not to Ecilop?

    I had an ecilop - "upgraded" to an S800.... sold the S800/Zenmuse. Ecilop is amazing when set up right. Best value for money system for creating smooth video in my opinion.

    Team BlackSheep arrested in Italy.

    Thats a scary thought (reference to the boston bombers). IF that sort of thing ever were to happen it would be a disaster for this hobby/industry

    DJI NazaM firmware v3.10 poll

    I thought the issue was that the Naza simply wouldn't arm after it lost the calibration settings? Surely the worst that can happen is that you cant get the machine off the ground.. Have there been other more sinister faults too?
