You're right I should. I was going to tether it but got lazy.

I don't know what the problem is. Recently, all of my drones seem to do what they want. Some start out ok, but then start acting erratically. The common part among all the drones is the transmitter. We will see if that is the issue next week. I just ordered a Futaba 14SG transmitter.

I went for over a year without an issue and then bombs away. I have had a series of crashes. I did have a bad battery but don't know if that was it. I could get flight times of over 22 minutes without issue but sometimes the copters would act gittery for no reason, and this was on several...

I learned on the X5. Still have 2 of them. I crashed them so many times and still they kept on flying. I did have a fly away probably because of a low battery, but 20 bucks later for just the quadcopter, no remote, I was back to crashing it some more. Check out this fun video I made.

Got a pretty good deal on eBay. I think it is a good deal. The auction was for a DJI Flame Wheel F550 ART, just add your own remote, and lots of spare parts including 2 brand new in the box flight controllers, one of which I needed for a future project, lots of props and spare frame parts.

Can you find a cheaper one that will carry a GH3 or GH4?

The jello effect may be my fault since I have not balanced these props and the gimbal was loosely mounted. Still pretty darn good for $284 bucks.

I made this a while ago but edited myself out and turned it into a music video.

This video was shot over two mornings. Both mornings the fog was almost perfect. This video was made from about 20 minutes of footage. It was shot with an old Phantom 3 Advanced that for sure will be plummeting into the ocean soon.

This was my first flight with my rebuilt Tarot Iron Man 650, and the first time I have flown using the Pixhawk flight controller. It is very different from the Naza's I am use to flying. The "Loiter" flight mode is really mellow, but when I put it in "Sport" mode I got a surprise. It was very...

Hey, I'm just surprised you made it that far into the video. It's a very small demographic out there that appreciates these things :-)

I will keep that in mind. This plate is sold specifically for this pixhawk system but you are right, it does Jiggle slightly. Maybe I will use some tape to hold it down in place if I experience issues. Kind of a before and after. Thank you for that suggestion.

Just a bit too wet for the Phantom. It came back with droplets of moisture on it.

This was shot at about 530 in the morning, unfortunately it was just a bit too foggy and wet to fly at any elevation.

Going crazy. I'm in the process of building a new quadcopter. I am using a pixhawk PX4 flight controller. Everything went fine with the setup but after arming it, the motor's did not spin nor did the ESC's make any noise. Spent about 3 to 4 hours going over it and am completely stumped. I...

I decided to mount them underneath the arms. Nothing fancy.
