It is a good idea (if you want to keep your multirotor in one piece) that you allow your craft to acclimate to the temperature you will be flying in. I typically let mine adjust to the outside temp for an hour. Then recalibrate your control board. Otherwise this could happen to you...
Hello everybody. A few months ago I built a large quadcopter (680mm) capable of carrying a large camera gimbal as a project for my last year in highschool. The project was a great success and I ended up with a very stable, gentle flying quadcopter. At the same time I learned what was good and...
So I would realllllly like to enable ads on Youtube so that I can get a little kickback when I show my flight videos to friends, family, you guys, etc. HOWEVER, you have to have 10 subscribers, of which I have not. So do me this favor. Go to my video below, check it out (my first video from...

Special thanks to John for the use of pretty much all his airworthy fleet, and the use of his GoPro.

Looks like someone got upset that DJI is sourcing their cameras somewhere other than GoPro!

Should be interesting!
This is the camera that sells for 129.. does anyone know if this can be used for fpv? If so can you use the same connections as a hero 3?.. thanks for any info..
Hey Guys,
I am pretty new to multirotor. I built up a tricopter based on batbones frame with the following
KK2 board
20 Amp Multistar ESC
Turnigy Park 300 1080kv
9x4.7 plastic props (9047)
2200 MAh battery 3S
Orange RX
GoPro Hero 3
Immersion RC tx w/ mushroom
I have probably 20 flights on...
Right, so I am posting this about my latest tricopter build, based loosely off the great Windestål's design. Firstly I will say that I am 15, live in the UK, and am currently having my summer holiday. This build was completed to a massive budget, and in my mind was mostly an upgrade. I know this...
Saw this on a road trip the other day so we stopped and grabbed some footage. Very cool especially if you grew up hooked on transformers like me :)

The other week I needed some parts from HK and saw the new Turnigy HD ActionCam had been released.
From reading I learned it is simply a SJ4000 which HK slapped a sticker onto.
Still had been looking to buy a lighter flight camera for some time.
I know the GoPros are the cats meow and I love...
I picked up one of these:

This is my first FPV setup, but i am pretty happy with it so far on my...
I'm a complete noob to the fixed wing hobby. However, I've been flying heli's for 10 years or so. Never FPV but many with my gopros for video or photography. My question is, why do the flite test guys and a lot of viewers NOT use the gopro cases for protection? Is it weight? Or aerodynamics...
FPV lenses, being tiny, cause an exaggeration of distance, an elongation of it, like looking through the wrong end of a telescope. I noticed this because the paddock next door to my house became huge; and the village 2 miles away almost invisible, although perfectly visible to the naked eye...
Hi everyone,
So I've built my first tricopter (FT Batbone) and have taken CPO's zip tie idea and created a gopro camera tray mount.
All good so far and I'm just practicing flying.
In the future I would like to attach a gimbal so I've been researching. The Flitetest motor mounts don't give...
G'day!
I thought I would put a post here in the forum as I really don't think this warrants an article over on the main site...
A while ago I was working on a modified Versa Wing with a snub-nose center section so it could be fitted out with FPV gear - Zephyr style. A lot of people asked if I...
Good morning 
This may be a daft noob question but I've only had two hours sleep and my brain has frozen!
I'm looking everywhere for a 2 axis brushless gimbal that can be mounted inline - e.g. like on a TBS Discovery - but all I see anywhere are the "hanging" DJI style mounts.
Am I...
