    calculating the forces acting on the motor axis

    It is. I had to take it twice while completing my degree, but it really boils down to F=ma, where in this case, a is gravity or 9.8m/s.

    Someone shot my camera what do I do?

    Shooting a gun in the air is a crime, because you don’t know where the bullet will come down. Flying a drone is not (yet.) Call the cops and file a report. Judge may order the neighbor to pay restitution. Good luck!

    iPad adaptor for P3 Standard

    I'm using the air2 with mine. Found a 3D printed holder on Amazon. Works great for me and it was inexpensive. It also holds my iPad when I use the heavy duty case.

    More bad press

    What's really scary is that a 2.2 lb drone can break a window on the 27th floor of a building. Good thing the lady never leaned up against it.

    Gimbal going crazy after flight

    My P3S was doing the same thing. I had two filters and a slip adapter in it at the time. It started after I bumped a tree limb and it fell about 20'. Stopped after I removed the filters.

    Flying in windy conditions.

    I agree. I have seen my P3S standing on its prop guards in 6/11 winds. My problem is getting it back down once it's up in those winds without bumping something. It helps to practice a lot in atti mode.

    Polar Filters

    Hi Chris, The filters I was using when my gimbal failed are DigitalMate filter kit for DJI Phantom 3 series. It has a slide over threaded adapter and the filters I had on were the uv filter and the nd8 filter.

    Senator introduces "Drone Aircraft Privacy & Transparency Act"

    This proposed law seems redundant given the fact that what it is requiring already exists in the 4th amendment and state/municipality voyeurism laws.

    Polar Filters

    I just had an issue where my tilt motor would release then reengage. (See "gimble dropping") When I took the filters off, the problem went away.

    Repairable Binding Switch?

    It appears to come from the location you indicated (broken solder and screen print). I couldn't see a polarity mark on the component, but the white dot on the board does indicate polarity. Hope this helps!
