    Hi from Oz!

    Jeez, I can't even spell **** Smith on this forum. I guess you know what I mean. The electronics store with the black and yellow logo and the perhaps somewhat unfortunate name (I guess Richard Smith didn't work either). Cheers!!!

    Hi from Oz!

    Hi Alby, sounds like you are having fun! Yeah, I ended up going with GoPro (3 Black) and have been pretty happy with it. I got mine from the **** Smith store for $385 and I think they are still the cheapest in town. I have it mounted on my F450 using "The Frame" from GoPro. It's pretty basic...

    Having trouble setting NAZA failsafe (RTH) and DX7

    LeeT is right, you need the right receiver for it to work. I have my Naza M Lite set up with a Spektrum AR8000, which has "SmartSafe". The AR7010 has the same failsafe system but I am not sure about any other Spektrum receivers (just check the website). When I bought my Naza the guys at the...

    To GoPro Or Not To GoPro... That Is the Question

    As I started this thread I thought I'd share some photos of my GoPro Hero 3 (black) mounted on my F450. After reading all the replies I ended up getting a GoPro. A local shop sold them for $385 (Australian), which helped to sweeten the deal ($1 more expensive then the silver version). As I...

    To GoPro Or Not To GoPro... That Is the Question

    Thanks everyone for replying. It convinced me of getting the Hero 3. I had a look at Sony's new AS30, which has some nice features such as image stabilization and GPS tracking. But, when it comes to overall image (really what it is about...) the Hero 3 looks best. I agree with fj_montilla, the...

    Want more air time

    Hi Bensid, No, mine isn't fully set up yet and still needs its landing gear and cam. I have a Quadframe 155mm (195 grams), it's a nice landing gear but seems like overkill (may leave it for an F550 and use something more 'subtle' for my F450). Anyway, the post got me thinking and I tested how...

    Want more air time

    Yep, PPWB is right. Time is just for a standard F450 setup... no extras. I'll test with some extra weight to see how it goes.

    Want more air time

    I am using Turnigy-s 3600mAh 3S (320 grams) on a stock DJI450 (with Naza M lite and GPS). I usually land after about 10 minutes, which leaves the battery at about 40% charge. http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__9505__Turnigy_3600mAh_3S_30C_Lipo_Pack.html

    To GoPro Or Not To GoPro... That Is the Question

    Hi Everyone, Wondering if anyone would like to share their experience with their choice of 'action cam' (good or bad, it doesn't matter). Reason for asking: I am looking for a new camera for my F450 (will be my first 'action cam'). I was about the buy the ubiquitous Hero 3 Black,... I mean...

    Hi from Oz!

    Hi Everyone, I am pretty new to flying multi-rotors though I have been flying RC planes for a while. I guy at the local RC club flies professionally (to inspect power lines etc.). For an open day he brought all his gear along and I knew then that I needed to try this (slightly smaller budget...
