Flexacopter ---The Making Of---

[holco]

Today I dit some test and adjustment flights with a new modification, this will give more room for fast action video shots.

Video from last Saturday, picloc was a bit against us and 1080i 25fps instead of 720p 50fps what it should be.

Same movie but now with an old filmisch look.

Has taken a while before I knew it but it turns out that the GH2 when monitoring trough the HDMI output each time it switches back from 720P (50fps) to 1080i (25 fps) so I've decided to install a 2nd camera in the form of a VTL 600 from Sony, now I can finally shoot in 720P (50fps)

Outstanding work! Can you provide any more details about the build? I especially like the v2 version of the rail mounts. How are you making those?

The V2 prototype 3D printing parts are made from PA 2200 nylon.

Because I was curious whether there will also fit 2x a 4S 5000mAh lipo's in the lipo box I had ordered 2 lipo's and today I converted them to a 4S 2P 10.000 mAh pack, it fits perfect and later on we will see what this gives to the flight time difference.


The lipo's ,

18 gram lighter than a 5S 8000mAh lipo.

Nice smooth pan but the Horizon is drifting? Is that Picloc V3?

Thanks for your detailed Thread, looks like you did a great job!

A little question: What software did you use for the technical illustration of the Wire Rope Dampers ?

Thanks quadro4

For the wiredampers drawings I used SketchUp.

All the other drawings are made with Rhinoceros.
