    OKAA 360 Sports Action Cam

    Ive tried gimbals and I'm just not a fan. Has anyone tried this OKAA 360 cam? Ive seem some videos and it looks like the best of all worlds. Underbelly mounted and you can see all directions so you really know where you are and whats around you. Much more realalistic in terms of being able...

    Can you take off in a yellow restricted zone?

    Well personally I would never buy any type of equipment that is hamstringed by location or politics. Users are responsible for their actions. Remember the Alamo. Good luck with your lefty-flyer.

    Can you take off in a yellow restricted zone?

    I'm not understanding. Do the P2's actually have some limiter based on GPS that keeps them grounded in certain areas? Wow, big brother.

    Walkera G2D Install with no soldering

    I have a Walkera on my FC40 using the camera the FC40 comes with. I've had nothing but erratic behavior even after following the Engrish directions and tweaking the trim settings. I have lead weighted counter balances to mimic the weight of what ever the Go Pro was it is designed for. I have...

    Austin, TX March 7-9

    Sounds like a great place to meet tons of idiot monkey drone teenagers in Austin and a great way to promote a rather stupid magazine devoted to running ads and poor explanational panels. Get out and fly, this isnt ham radio, you have everything you need online. Unless you need to rub shoulders...

    DJI Phantom Balance Rod for Balancing Self-Tightening Props

    Re: DJI Phantom Balance Rod for Balancing Self-Tightening Pr Yes I meant balanced rotationally. Another thing I'm finding I dont like is the larger mass of the rod itself. The smaller rod is more reactive to tiny differences. I wish there were some small ends I could find to stick on the rod...

    Using spray lacquer as a form of balancing propellers ??

    I use CF almost all the time. Get a pack of cheap cardboard/paper double sided nail files and start with the fine side. It's not difficult with either type of prop.

    I'd like more info, what link did you look at? Is this through the software?

    Using spray lacquer as a form of balancing propellers ??

    Why not just use a nail file and sand a bit on the trailing edge? Works great. Sand, sand, wipe, retest the balance. I've got 4 sets of Maytech CF props and they all work well.

    DJI Phantom Balance Rod for Balancing Self-Tightening Props

    Here's a question that concerns Phantom and FC40 prop balancing. I was using the balancing rod that came with my DuBro balancer. The rod had a short peice of flexible tubing so I could squish the props onto it and proceed to balance. Seemed to work well and I thought I got some really balanced...

    New GoPro Hero to replace FC40 camera

    Hiya, I'm not understanding the CF plate and mount. Why not just use the GoPro mounting plate the gimbal came with? Works for me (with extra weight to mimic a GoPro). Does this work for you OK because of the added CF weight perhaps?
