I'm not sure if this applies to you, but I reduced the jello on my camera quad by quite a bit by re-balancing my props and the motors. Not entirely sure if it was a prop that was vibrating or a motor, but it helped. You could give it a try, worse case nothing improves, but at least you...

So made a purchase from the site over the weekend. Their payment system uses paypal, but I also used my credit card through paypal. Right now if things go bad, I'll be out about $70. The shipping was free, and when it gets here I will update. I am hoping things go well, but prepared for the...

Those post are suspicious. The site is 16 days old, and the one guy got it 10 days after ordering. Also adds to the suspicion that it is written like it went through a translator program, and the site is in what looks like Chinese (not sure could be a different text from Asia). I figure I...

I think the idea is to make a simple to use camera quad for those that do not have much R/C experience. It looks like the quad goes were it needs to not by inputs from a transmitter, but by being tugged along on the string.

So if I read this right, a "drone" hit an airplane, and the airplane landed safely, was inspected for damaged, and cleared immediately. So that would mean that "drone" hitting the airplane did so little damage that it was not even worth more than a quick inspection if the plane made its next...

In a case of someone refusing to return it, the registration will work in your favor. Since every craft over a certain size is required to have the registration number on it, and the owner is to carry a copy of the registration with them (physical or electronic), then call the police, and you...

When I first started flying I found this video from the guy on the Quadcopter 101 YouTube channel to be useful - Hope it helps you too.

Well, just read the new regulations. Here is a link to a Slash Gear article about it - http://www.slashgear.com/faa-gets-tough-on-drones-with-mandatory-uav-registration-14418286/ And in a week the Registration site goes live and here is the link for that - http://www.faa.gov/uas/registration/...

Thank you, I'll watch that later GJH (when I am not at work), as for being more related to topic, here is a link that allows the public to comment on the registration until this Friday, November 6th. http://www.regulations.gov/#!documentDetail;D=FAA-2015-4378-0022

http://hackaday.com/2015/07/22/no-mounting-a-gun-to-a-quadcopter-probably-isnt-illegal/ Is that the flying gun incident that you mentioned? I also tried to look up if he actually got arrested (he did but not for the drone) and did not find anything about him actually being charged for the...

So Virgina Tech's test has found that the impact of a 8lb drone is "consistent with the type of damage that occurs regularly with a ingestion of a large bird." Now would I be thrilled to be in jet when a drone flew into the engine causing that kind of damage, not really. Though it would be...

I think the registration is overkill. Really the only law they need to pass in the US is that all UAV pilots be AMA members. The AMA has not only a set of safety guidelines for UAVs, but being a member also gives the pilot insurance in case of accidents like flying into other peoples property...

For test footage, that still looks good. Can't wait to see what the finished product footage looks like.

Selling to the general public would be a bad idea, it is just asking for lawsuits over one persons freedom to enjoy their hobby versus anothers freedom of perceived privacy. I say percieved privacy just because there are many other better ways to spy on someone other than a lit up, buzzing...

I have heard of the Phantom 3 and 3DR Solo, but have no experience with them myself. I did not know about the Husband X4 Pro until your posting, but Husband seems to have a good reputation. My personal plan is to fly the one I have until the motors die (brushed motors on the x250), then to...

If you are very new to flying quads, I would suggest picking up an inexpensive one to start. It is very likely that you will crash, and it hurts a lot less when you only have approximately $50 invested in it versus several hundred. The Syma X5C is a popular choice, so is the Hubsan H107D X4...
