haha, I must admit I turned the audio off when I was watching them, it's awful ! It's the wrong camera for the job by a long way

a couple more dodgy videos: I *will* get a proper camera and gymbal and try to make some decent vids, I promise !

got it, and have ordered one of those programming cards, think it would make it easier, I can see myself getting lost with all the beeping. Will get a spare ESC and try swapping them over too. Would you agree with the video guy's recommended settings: brake type: off timing mode: mid or...

setting the timing - is that the buttons a+d with throttle up then down thing ? Done that. Might look at getting a replacement, is there a more recommended brand than emax, and can I just replace one or are they like tyres and I have to do all of them ? Thanks, S

a very first attempt at aerial photography. Rubbish by any standards, it's just the 'dashboard' cam from my motorbike strapped on upside-down underneath my quad with the battery strap and cable ties. You can see the bricks I had to launch it off in one of the shots since i don't even have the...

So I was flying the other day, and all of a sudden, in steady level flight, one of the motors stopped temporarily, so the quad ended up falling end over end, from quite a high altitude - broken frame :-( This was a problem I've seen a few times before, but only very intermittently, and I...

going to have fun with these when I've got camera'd up. Though I think in my case it will be 'forward sideways + turn around +backward sideways + random altitude +inadvertently fly into tree' Thanks for posting

I'm afraid I'd agree - my 12y/o has a little indoor dual-axis helicopter and can barely fly it, lots of bunny-hopping and crashing. Of course I play around with it - but the yaw's on the wrong stick and there's no yaw trim so it slowly rotates round...

that's interesting to watch, think I shall be playing about with aerial photography in the near future. I think the last two videos have got a little muddled btw, the pictures for no. 4 look like a pull-up and look down, and no. 5 looks like a fly-by ?

oops ! I flew with mine when it was all still in kit form, and I didn't know yet how nasty those lipos can be. Still, didn't make the evening news so that's ok

it'd be a bit dull though, watching it hover for 4 hours ;)

throttle trip on the transmitter been nudged too high maybe ? so that stick down doesn't read as idle

very cool !

great video Christina, what city is that ?

i just can't help thinking that either it deploys and immediately the strings get shredding by the props, or that it gets irretrievably tangled up and in a death plummet

haha, would that be the onboard virus that makes it attack the Pentagon ?

controlled crash would be quite cool - you could use the z-accelerometer readings to maintain a gentle downward motion, but boost the motors enough to stop it accelerating downwards. You can also make it kill the motors and auto-disarm as soon as it has no more z acceleration (ie it landed)...

oh, there was the one with the chimp as well, which you've probably seen -

will follow your progress with interest mate - I'm a bit of a hobbyist programmer on and off, and wouldn't mind mucking about with the firmware too at some point, though at the moment, can't think of anything I'd want to change. It's a shame there are only 5 input channels on the board...
