If you loose one motor on a quadcopter it will tumble and drop out of the sky, this is another reason people use octa-copters, 8X, and Y6 because of motor redundancy. For FPV (usually, but you may not handle the weight), I'd suggest getting a board camera and a camera to record with(Mobius...

A lot of sites seem to be suffering this recently.

Video looks awesome.

Here is a little from a guide I am working on right now.

Increased pitch will generally increase lift, but the biggest gain is that it will give your motors the ability to pull the quad faster with less speed. This could help wiht stability and the speed of the quad, providing the pitch is not too much, or the prop size is not too big. I use 4.7...

I just looked at your specs and noticed that you could go with bigger props. You could try experimenting with different sizes in the calculator. Get the size with the best efficiency, or thrust depending if your carrying a load.

Ah*C does in fact = amps supplied, if you go a little over that, it should be fine. This is because you are not drawing max amps for very long, and if you are your motors won't last long. Take a look at this threadt I posted.

Ok, well to start I am going to suggest getting/building a quad with a waterproof frame. That way if it takes a dip it will not ruin any of your equiptment. An x8 or hex may also be nice as they have motor redundancy and are generally more stable, but there may not be any waterproof...

Haha. Also you can convert short movies to gifs.

Yeah, a Gopro would be nice. I'd suggest attaching a small wire between whatever camera you use and the frame of the copter just in case something comes off during a flight. This would save you hours of searching or having to buy a new camera.

Haha, most all cameras that work under water are terrible with sound. How much it weigh? Nice avatar BTW. :p

Haha, as did I, so what camera are you using? Vibrations will cause the audio to be terrible also.

Haha, a lot better than mine I must admit. Audio is odd though.

A little SMD IC can be repaired with a regular iron, but it is harder, especially if it has a lot of tiny pins. The common probelm would be bridging two pins. So if you were to do it just be aware of that before you put power to it.

BAck ordering does not take long either.

Still the spin up and crashed may be linked.

Not really. You should get a flash tool and download Steveis Pro firmware though. Tell me if you need any links on that.

Are you saying that self levelling is not enabling and you need to know how to make it enabled?
