    550 Pilot's lounge

    Finally got my new Panasonic GH-4 mounted to my multirotor (see photo), but a little short on lifting power. Looking for motor upgrade recommendations ;-)

    @ U.M. - No idea on weight yet, still looking for a scale! @ ladykate - Yep, that's the E300's that replaced the stock motors I burned up using the too-long screws. I wanted to thoroughly flight test it before hanging anything on it and was getting about 11:45 flight time naked (except for...

    550 Pilot's lounge

    I've been flying mine bare bones for a month now and finally installed gimbal, iOSD Mini and IRC 600 TX today. I think I went a little too far forward with the gimbal in an effort to keep the props clear, so had to move the battery from the top plate to hanging off the back end to get the CG...

    F550 up in Flames! What just happened?

    Unfortunately I haven't had a chance to test endurance with my Maddog 5,000's or my Onyx 6,400 yet. I've only made two 5 minute flights and then had to leave town on business. I can't wait to get home to resume testing! On another note, I noticed today that DJI dropped the prices on their S-800...

    F550 up in Flames! What just happened?

    I haven't mounted my Zenmuse yet. I have only two test flights on it so far and want to get at least a few more before I start hanging more stuff on it. Will reevaluate COG once I have Zenmuse, GoPro, FPV and iosd Mini installed. I'll hopefully get around to it next week when I get home and will...

    F550 up in Flames! What just happened?

    Success, finally! New E300 Propulsion System and AimDroix Aluminum Arms with CORRECT size screws and no fire this time. A few more test flights and then ready to mount gimbal and FPV, then start tweaking the Futaba 14SG with Ian's profile. :-)

    GoPro, Timelapse + Video and Card Speed

    I use both Sandisk Extreme and Ultra cards and have never experienced any difficulties, even when shooting 2.7k Protune with the slower Ultra. I have not tried shooting video + stills simultaneously, however.
