Multirotor, multicopter and quadcopter discussion - The Drone thread

I have the c2: https://youtu.be/ZmryuAFy-n0

The footage up to 1:20 is the camera in narrow fov, 720p at 60fps, after that it's 30fps at 1080 I think (where you see the propellers)

Look up some videos :) As said, it weights quite light also but not sure what it's like compared to your current cam.

Awesome, thanks m8. Gonna pick one up - its bound to be lighter than a gimbal+SJ4000. How have you got yours mounted onto your H11C? Nice vids, btw. :)
 
The one I got from banggood comes with a sticky Velcro pad, it's pretty stuck on just with that. You may be able to bodge it onto the gimbal.

Hah, ta. Wanting to buy the eachine falcon 250 asap, attach on to that :D

Cool, ta. How long did yours take to arrive from Banggood? I keep hearing recently they are taking longer and longer to deliver to the UK.

I had the option to get it delivered from the EU warehouse, so not very long really.

Cool, I see that option is still there on the website. Nice one.

Before I order though, I'm looking at reviews of the Runcam 2 and the Foxeer Legend. Both a bit more expensive but they have some nice features. The Foxeer apparently can be remotely controlled via your R/C controller, just like the standard Syma camera can. Gonna do a wee bit more research on all three before deciding. :cool:
 
Don't blame you. You can set the Möbius to take pictures every x number of seconds etc also

It's a cheap camera, it works, main reason I got it. Also like the flat shape over a go pro shape
 
Your videos with the Mobius are top notch quality m8, I'm just struggling a bit to justify paying another £30-£40 for a Runcam 2 which has a few clever extras but going by some of the video footage I've seen on YouTube there isn't much in it, quality wise. Well, I say I'm struggling to justify paying the extra, but I'm actually talking about justifying the purchase to my other half as she thinks I'm nuts playing around with quads as it is! :D

Anyway, had a bit of a disaster today with my X8C. Family trip to the park and while wife and son are off to the play area I'm pulling the X8 out of the boot of the car and going for a quick flight. All started off fine, took her up and began practicing figure of eights which I'm getting pretty nifty at. :D Then all of a sudden the quad starts making a strange noise, like a rattling noise from somewhere. Before I could descend to check it out, one rotor blade stopped spinning and it plummeted groundwards from about 60 ft up. About 10 feet from hitting the deck, it suddenly regained power and stopped literally inches from the ground, hovering in a bit of a labouring state. I let it land and took a look. One of the motors was indeed making a very strange rattling noise. When you spun the blade by hand it got almost all the way round then there was a high degree of resistance like something was jamming it. Ah well, back in the boot of the car.

Got home and did a tear down. And found this:-

Screw missing from motor mounting point. Guess where it was? Yep - under the gear wheel, jammed solid.

Resulting damage to the gear wheel teeth:-

Have ordered a spare set of gears and a couple of spare motors now in case of any further issues in the future.
 
Note to self - make sure you solder the motor correctly on the X4 and then spend ages trying to work out why it doesn't fly properly !!

And also make sure you use the right prop :(
 
Got it from a fella on a Quad owners FB page I'm a member of. £45, 3 months old. Bit of a bargain really! He upgraded to something else for his DJI Phantom.

Haven't had a chance to fly with it yet as the weather is horrible here at the moment.
 
Been out for a very brief flight with the Foxeer fitted. Far to windy today to really be flying but I couldn't resist. Outstanding quality footage. No jello at all and that was with it just velcro'd straight onto the underneath of the X8. When fitted, you can hardly tell its there, doesn't affect the flying characteristics at all. Will try and post up a brief vid clip shortly.

I'm chuffed. :D
