    go pro gimbal

    Nice! I personally fly with a gopro3 black 1080p @60fps. Awesome quality. I have been thinking about an sj5000 plus, but have not made the leap just yet. There are 2d and 3d gimbals. The 3d makes a little nicer video, but they are usually much higher than a 2d. Just having a gimbal makes a...

    Quad for Surveying and 3D photography

    You may want to check out hexacopter. They are more powerful than a quad, can handle a heavier payload, and can get decent flight times with the larger batteries.

    Experienced RC Helis; new to quads; advice please?

    Are you wanting to build your own or buy one that is already built? I pretty much only fly for video taking these days and I really like my diatone 500. I don't care too much for the integrated pdb so that is my reasoning with going with the diatone. It sports a gimbal and fpv setup, and it has...

    PLEASE HELP - Running into a bit of trouble testing motors

    Did you calibrate the escs yet? Seems like that has to be completed first from what I remember. The Taranis will need to be programmed to send signal to the aux channels if you have not done so.
