    Offsetting front arm on an octo to keep it out of camera view

    Hi everyone, i was wondering if anyone on here has tried raising the front arm to keep it out of the cameras view? I have seen pictures of a Flexocopter that was made this way. I have a Tarot Iron Man with a Cinextar 2 axis gimbal and it sits pretty low. I was thinking of maybe using a couple...

    Has gimbal control been improved?

    Hi everyone, i have decided to downgrade my 3 axis Cinestar gimbal to a 2 axis for a single operator setup. I have been using an RSGS with okay results (better than most judging by the RSGS thread) but was thinking of simplifying things and using the WKM for gimbal control as well. I know a...

    Considering a larger multicopter for video/photography

    Hello everyone, I have been into RC helicopters for many years and last year got interested in multicopters. I eventually ended up with an F550 with an aeroxcraft gopro gimbal using a Wookong for flight control. It has been very dependable and I have gotten pretty good at flying smoothly and...

    X8 and gimbal control?

    Hi everyone, I have been looking at something larger than my F450 to hopefully carry a larger camera than a GoPro in the future. I have been looking at an X8 but just realized that I won't have Gimbal control with ESC's hooked up to the F1 and F2 output. I remember reading something somewhere...

    Bad Motor?

    Hi everyone. I flew my F450 a lot this weekend and had good luck with it in both calm and windy conditions. Right before I came home yesterday from the field I had a minor flip over and bent up a prop. I changed it and did a very short FPV flight but the picture was cutting in and out due to...

    Bolting through F450 bottom plate?

    I have a F450 that I am considering placing a camera gimbal under. It looks like pretty much the whole middle of the frame is part of the power distribution covered with some sort of coating/paint. Is that how it is made? If so, if I put bolts through it it would short out the battery. :upset:

    Quadcopter Center of Gravity?

    Hey everyone. I have just put a camera gimbal on the front of my F450 which moved my COG quite a bit forward. Is COG very important for quads? My guess is that the front motors would just have to spin a little faster to lift a little more and balance it all out. I have hovered it in the...

    FPV using GoPro on a gimbal?

    Hi everyone. I have been flying my quad using my gopro as a flight camera as well. I have a camera gimbal on the way that I will stabilize through my Naza. Has anyone tried flying FPV through a stabilized camera on a quad? I know I will loose the tilting sensation so it will probably be a...

    Clearing Naza error codes?

    Hey everyone. I got some error codes on my Naza while setting it up due to plugging it in without the RX connected, not having the TX calibrated, some S/N error, etc. Is there a way to clear them out? If I get a new one I'm afraid I won't notice it since there are several already. Not a big...

    Battery size for Flamewheel 450, Naza controller

    Hello Everyone. I have been using 3S packs for my quads but I just ordered a flamewheel 450 kit and am wondering if I would be better off going with 3S or 4S? What would be a good capacity? I am mainly looking for flight time since I will be using it for FPV. Just looking for opinions before...
