As of this writing there is an Ebay vendor selling many good used (ebay guarantee :-) gimbals. I bought one last week for a winning bid of $137. I see that another one sold for $122. That is as cheap as you are ever going to see them. Genuine 3DR Solo 3-Axis Stabilization Gimbal For GoPro...

I hate to break it to everyone but the Solo is already an old dog; good ole dog, but old. There are so many good things about Solo, but so many weaknesses. The platform is good, motors and esc's are strong, frame is also sturdy. Batteries will dry up, or someone will make them. However, at this...

Take a look at this. DJI continues to be cutting edge: Camera is $2699 and extra lenses are approx $1200 If you have the money good for you. Otherwise...get some lens cleaner and polish that GoPro lens.

Doesn't the 8s setting put out too much voltage? Also, thanks for the madhacker website. This man will be a great resource for other projects I have in mind!

Thank you for that. I am indeed lucky. I treat her with the utmost regard and consideration, and she in turn gives me her respect and admiration. She tells me that I look like a movie star, and when I look at her beautiful face she takes my breath away. We fall asleep in each others arms and we...

Just get the updates and fly it. I would definitley do the GPS shield mod, and most definitely buy a pair of ALFA -7Db antennas.

I like all of those mods. In fact I enjoy the modding as much or more than flying. I have built a custom carbon fiber Armattan with gadgets and gadgets. One of the sensors I added is a ground proximity sonar unit. It keeps my low altitude constant. It is quite fun to come up on cars; it follows...

My brother in law had a limp gimbal; it ruined his marriage, and his enthusiasm for flying suffered too.

Obstacle avoidance is a nice feature, but, like AntiLock brakes and traction control on cars, it is not absolutely necessary and for most cases we've been doing fine without it for years. It does save some from crashing their cars when they get in over their heads though.

Controller wait till fullstart Tablet Make sure that WiFi is NOT on This could cause problems (Edit: I meant to say bluetooth OFF and WiFI ON) Go Pro confirm that it is in VIDEO mode and flashing...

Just havin' fun with ya. You do seem to want a lot out of a multi rotor though. There are some quads off the shelf that will do what you want but won't have all the features you want What you want can be done with a custom build; if you can find someone proficient in engineering all your wish...

Hmmmmm....it sounds like you want a woman who: is sexy as hell, but no one tries to woo her; is a sex demon but won't cheat on you; is worth a lot of money but won't spend yours; and, is a great cook, won't complain, and does laundry and dishes. If you ever find her let me know if she has a...

I have wondered this myself while making a stand alone charger that runs from a 12v car battery source. (I made one using a buck converter but it didn't charge as fast as the factory charger and was buggy in the current adjustment so I just used a 12V to 110v step up inverter and used the...
