I had not been aware, initially, that the rating of the micro SD card impacted the quality of the video - then, with more research, saw that the GoPro required use of the class 10 or better card. I bought a 64gb Sandisc Ultra class 10 card.......however there still was the "jerking" going on...

Hello again Hugh. Been a few weeks so I thought I'd send you an update. The quad has been flying well. Took it to the beach (as they say in NJ..."Down the shore") a few weeks ago for the weekend. Flew longer distances and higher than ever before without any issues. The FPV video issues I've...

Well, I followed your advice and did a "process of elimination; 1. Knew my first receiver was good, with the blue ultra cp cl antenna; 2. checked polarity on the other antenna and it was/is fine; 3. Took the blue antenna and exchanged it with the cross hair onto the other new Rx (the 2 Rx's are...

I did have the 5.8 on but, as said earlier, with all the forests/trees plus buildings and hills/valleys 5.8 was a POOR decision. Your info on using 1.2/1.3 ghz was most helpful. I do have great signal from the one receiver with the blue ultra cp clover leaf antenna - with the lawmate 500/1000mw...

Hi again Hugh. So, I purchased the IBCrazy 1.3 GHz 10dBic Crosshair Antenna and added it to my ground station; also added an Oracle Diversity Controller with 2 lawmate vid rx's - one each with the crosshair and the IBCrazy blue ultra cloverleaf cp antennas. The cloverleaf works fine....cant...

Hello Hugh.....hope this finds you well.........So, I think (really hope) just about there......I've moved away from 5.8ghz for fpv - of course AFTER I researched and made all the 5.8 purchases THEN I find other info that tells me why my fpv system wasnt working so well ( poor distance and...

Know Bruce/RCModelReviews well. Have a number of his "How To" videos saved on my youtube channel. I spent Thurs. evening revamping my setup - moving what I could move (to spots that I've seen in other "build videos") in hopes of less interference from wires, etc. AND installed the UBEC as the...

Well....it's off to bed shortly. Spent much of the late afternoon and evening tinkering with the quad. A number of different folk have mentioned how my "set up" is - in essence, where I've placed naza, pmu, RC rx, gcu/mini iOSD, Vtx....etc. So, I've been researching other photos of completed...

So many IF's.........some of what I do know - There IS a cell tower in the vacinity....you can actually see it in the video about 400 meters away. The flight was going well; was taking things relatively slowly, climbing and descending at points. This is the first time I've actually gone close...

Back......am waiting on the edited video to export to my computer ....want to show you what happened. All was well flying and even the fpv was the best it's been yet - flew pretty much with my eyes on the monitor....until.........you'll see towards the end of the airborn part of the video, as I...

There is the exposed gnd and + solder points built into the main copter frame/board - the pcu, gcu and lead to the battery are all soldered there. Would be simple to add the UBEC. While the GCU (gimbal contral unit) provides power to the gimbal it does not provide power to the video TX or any of...

Hi Hugh......first my gimbal is fine as it's drawing it's power from the gcu that comes with it. As for connecting the ubec to "bus power" are you saying to solder the cables directly to the power board for the copter? (where the wires go out from, to connect to the lipo battery?) If so, which...

Hugh, I do wonder if its my lcd monitor. The first one I ordered didnt work and was sent another to replace it. The company said it was the first time they had a problem with the monitor...but... I tested the monitor with an external Vrx ....the one that came with my TX so it was a matched pair...

Hi again Hugh. Not sure if it's the Boscam TX or the Sony 600tvl had ccd board camera. I spent the evening re-soldering all the fpv wire/connections, adding servo connectors to make changing TX and camera easy when it's time to do so. The change in wiring had no impact on video quality - just...

Hello Dave, and thanks. My recent "control issues" was apparently more an issue with my not paying attention to simple details like Center of Gravity (should have known better) and also the effect of gains on control (never would have known this unless Hugh and another good soul from youtube...

Hi Hugh. Had a bit of fun today taking some video, although my fpv video was awful - think it had something to do with my adjusting settings in the house last night - lighting was way off today to the point that it was way overexposed and I didnt have the small board with setting buttons to make...

Yes, the one and only 5.8ghz Boscam tx. The cables I have for the camera dont fit the video AV In port, and dont connect to any of the other typical AV cables. It's not just the limited color but the clarity is not the best too. What antennas do you use - brand. I know you prefer the circ. pol...

Yes, my quad seems to be flying with stability ......admit to still feeling some "nerves" although nothing occurring yet to really cause them - vivid memory of a shakey, wobbling copter falling towards my garage rooftop and nothing I did altered it's path. But.....over time the once found...

Good morning Hugh. Every day is a new learning experience - always has been. I got home late last night from working a long day. Another of the 3 board cameras for fpv was in the mailbox so I plugged it in to the existing wiring and 3s battery (no UBEC yet) and had relatively good picture...

As promised - - a video of flight just taken an hour or so ago. Main purpose was to test COG and effect of reduced Gains had on the "wobblies". While I obviously did not go hell bent for leather, I did test the changes and impact on descent - seems to have done the trick, although I'm never one...
