I understand that there is a new gimbal controller in the works and should be released late summer. Everything I've read indicates that is will be a 'game changer'... can anyone validate? The controller is Phobotic Centerpiece. Best, Bob

I was excited about the new Zenmuse H3-3D gimbal recently announced... until I heard that it will only be sold with the new Phantom 2. Not as a stand alone version. Can anyone please confirm or deny this please. The H3-2D has been discontinued. Surly this can't be true...? If it will be...

Did anyone watch the 60 Minutes special on 'Drones over America'? It was interesting to see Colin Guinn showcasing the Phantom. There are several additional segments on their web site. Morley Safer states, "any idiot can fly one" Ok, I'm a idiot...

With all the latest posts about the accuracy of the Ground Station I have two questions that will influence my decision to purchase two of of these. 1. How does it handle terrain that changes elevation during the flight. If I program three waypoints over a hilly area how can I prevent the MC...

I get asked a lot what is the cost to fly a helicam for 'professional use'. It's a question I don't like to answer, not that I'm hiding anything but adding up all the costs for this service is overwhelming. So inquiring minds want to know.... for every ounce of payload what do you think the...

I need some help clarifying if the Futaba 8FG transmitter and R6208SB receiver should be set in the FAST Mode or Normal. -Bob

With the recent posts about 'flyaways' and such I started wondering if the GoPro with Bluetooth option turned on might be causing some interference with the Tx. According to what I've read Bluetooth does frequency hopping and transmits from 2.402 GHz to 2.480 GHz. Does anyone with a background...

I had read that one of the new features of the new NAZA software upgrade is that if a motor fails on a hex setup it would still land.... During a checkout flight today one of the prop nuts became loose.... and it landed! What an amazing sight, five props turning and one prop doing nothing...

I just received a converted HDMI card for my Sony NEX5. There were no instructions... the label on the converter shows four wires, two for video and two for power. There are only three wires coming out of the converter, brown, red and mustard colored... just like a servo wire. Can anyone help...

I read several months ago that a good test for any carbon fiber prop before installing is to flex it and listen for pops or a cracking sound. This would indicate the the carbon fiber was weak and should not be used. I ordered several sets from RCTimer and started using them on two MC after...

I currently have my Futaba Tx configured to trigger the shutter on the Sony NEX camera using a 2 position switch. Starting a video capture requires manual operation before takeoff. Using a 3 position switch on my Tx can it be configured so that in one position it will start and stop a video...

During the last several flights on a RCT800 using the new DJI NAZA M v.2 I've noticed a unique twitch in the flight. It's like the chill twitch we experience.. short, sudden, and very noticeable. I have replaced the Tx and RX, disassembled and checked all the connections, still happens. Will...

Inquiring minds what to know. I'm having a struggle with my local dealer and would like a second opinion form those that are in this as a commercial application. I have been very local to the dealer in Atlanta and have purchased a large majority of products from them. Mail order sites can...

Inquiring minds want to know... Because of poor video results I'm upgrading my 2 axis gimbal the carries my NEX 5 with new servos and would like some feedback on servo selection. There are a lot of posts that state that analog servos are smoother that digital. After doing hours of research...

Greetings, As a professional marketing photographer and videographer the idea of offering a new service to our clients using a helicam was very exciting. The excitement is still growing but I must admit that the learning cure needed to master the ability to fly and photograph is very time...
