    Charleston helicopter crash blamed on drone; FAA investigating

    My thoughts exactly! The drone should not have been anywhere near a manned helicopter. I drop mine to the ground if I even hear one no matter how high or low. But I still think this was pilot error, and he is trying to blame the drone o_O

    Looks good. I have always flashed those escs with simonk firmware for better performance, but not necessary. You will need one of these if you decide to. https://hobbyking.com/en_us/atmel-atmega-socket-firmware-flashing-tool.html

    First Quad Build. Will this work?

    The naza lite is a good flight controller especially once you flash it with the naza 2 firmware, but the tarot is a lot better. It is on par with the dji A2 as it holds position just as good, and has close to the same settings. Here is one of my videos with the Tarot in action. A2 on this...

    First Quad Build. Will this work?

    I would personally go with at least a 500 to carry a gimbal, but the 450 will work. Here is a 470 I built a while back http://quadcopterforum.com/threads/xj470-build.9858/ Here is a 500 I built also. (One of my favorite fpv gimbal aircraft) You should not have many crashes with a good system...

    Test Flight And Disastrous Crash Of Modified Elev-8 Quadcopter

    I think we eliminated the escs from experience and reviews, but I could be wrong. Have you looked at the solder joints? They should all be intact to the board metal even after a crash like this.

    Test Flight And Disastrous Crash Of Modified Elev-8 Quadcopter

    I can tell when impact to the house happened now. Esc failure would be my next guess. Were all solder connections still intact? Curious of the type of escs that you were flying.

    Test Flight And Disastrous Crash Of Modified Elev-8 Quadcopter

    This looks like a prop or motor and prop was coming down before it hit the ground. These 2 motors were good. Possibly motor 2 lost the prop judging by the angle.

    Brushless motor has grinding sound when rotating

    Sounds like a loose magnet. You should be able to remove the clip and re-glue the magnet.

    Which DJI

    I am getting the air as a backup and probably what I will be filming most of my video in since the video quality matters most to me so it may not pertain to you. The spark films in 1080p while the air films in 4k at 100mbps.

    Everyone loses interest without editing your footage unless you are flying full speed and shifting angles a lot.
