I just flew 15+ Battery packs with 2 - 4 flights per pack this past Sunday with my GoPro rig for a producer. He wanted 4K gopro footage and had me do all kinds of stuff. 1/2 way through the day the wind was gusting 10 - 20 mph and the rig was flawless. At the higher wind gusts i was only worried about the gimbal not getting bounced around, as the rig was solid. We were filming bik eracing and a few times I popped the rig into GPS hold in the center of the track waiting for the pack to start and it just SAT there in 10 mph winds, I rarely had to do any correction.
I bought another SuperX for a Hex project i'm finishing... really digging it.
And most importantly it's not a DJI! WHOO HOO Colin and the Chinese government can go suck it!

Nice little quad setup you got there SleepyC, what's your spec's? Like the rail setup for the gimbal, who makes it? Looks about the size I'd like to build to replace an aging HoverThings VC-450.
Thanks,
John

T-motor 740KV, 4S system on 40 amp Ipeaka ESC's. DIYQuads 530 frame (long arms http://www.diyquadcopters.com/QuadFrame-530-HD_p_52.html)
Quadframes US landing gear.
The rails are just Carbon rods attached to the gear. cam is counter-balanced with the batts.
Tarot 2D brushless gimbal.
I'm using 6000mHa 4S packs and getting 10 min + 2 to spare.
The little sucker rocks. I built it hoping it would be a cool little goPro rig and it ended up kicking butt.
The producer wanted GoPro footage as he had been sent a crap ton of GoPros and he wanted to make sure he used them.
The little guy rocked for me!
The producer took the footage shot all 2K and 4K on the Blacks, but I was sent a few "shots" of me flying.

Thanks Sleepy, sounds just like what I'm looking for. What height landing gear is that, 155mm, 200mm, or 215mm?

It's a cyclocross race, (I actually race cx as well, i raced earlier in the day and flew the rest of the day it rocked!)
Cyclocross is like a 1.8 mile dirt crit with barriers, stairs, run ups and such that you need to dismount and run and then remount.
It's HARD. 40 min of flat out, 185 bpm craziness.
The rig has 215mm landing gear, probably a bit unnecessary could have gone with the smaller ones. I think they were $85?
I'm selling a set of 310mm's for $85 shipped if anyone wants them! Like new! Had em on an octo that i'm trying to sell.
The hear are these: http://www.quadframe.us/collections/landing-gear/products/310mm-clearance-landing-legs
Also have my "test bed Octo" up for sale for DIRT CHEAP check it: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2003602

Here's a review video of the SuperX I'm doing for RCG.
I may do another one with more forward flight, in this I just wanted to show the stability.. It's really good.
Full review should be up at RCG in a few days.
Yea I know i should have a lapel mic, I forgot it.. sue me...

I have been starting most of my rigs at 1.2 across the board except heights I set at .08.
Keep the "fine tune" dial in the middle and just go in the direction it needs when you take off. I have never needed more than 1 min to get the rig locked in.
Except with my XY8 config which they are trying to work on.

I missed a lot in the XAircraft forums here because Multirotorforums.com doesn't support the latest version of Tapatalk. :neglected: Anyway, I'm now checking via my browser. Couldn't figure out why no-one was posting!
Just going to go out and test 1.08beta firmware. The main difference between it and 1.07 is GPS Position Hold and RtH WITHOUT COMPASS. When there is interference for the compass, if the SuperX is still has enough satellites to work, the GPS Position Hold and Return to Home functions will be still available. What it will do in this case is some kind of circle in order to orientate itself (GPS needs the unit to be moving in order to know what direction it is facing) and then will lock to position hold or will RTH is that is what you picked. I'll post video if I get any.
