Multirotor, multicopter and quadcopter discussion - The Drone thread

Its actually to increase motion blur.
In the cinematic world, you always want to set your shutter speed to be 1/2xFPS or 1/FPS. So, if we're shooting at 60fps, we want a 1/120 or 1/60 shutter speed. If shooting at 30fps, we want 1/60 or 1/30 shutter speed.
With a fixed aperture camera such as a GoPro or the one in the Inspire / P3, the only way you can cut the light down to get to your desired shutter speed is with neutral density filters.
 
Hoping the weather holds, its looking bleak, was going to have a 3 battery session practising rate mode with the 250 quad fpv


I have a busy weekend finishing my bixler build so may not get the chance to fly otherwise
 
Had a little fly on my lunch today. I want to go back out to play. :(

Nice :)

I have 3 charged batteries, its not sunny, I probably wont do any filming and uploading, only filming to check my rate mode progress.

Finish work in 40 mins
 
just tried it, they give you instructions for the taranis to start messing about with weight and offset, but it just spins out of control, none of the values they give you work.

I think you would have to spend a little time trying to tweak everything but I just spent 20 mins, had it a little big more controllable but still not right.
 
Hmm. -25 expo on aileron and elevator, 50 expo on rudder and trim throttle up until the motors start to hum but not take off. Feels closer to my quad but higher rates and a little expo would be better as in game option.
 
I will try those settings and see what happens.

Prob tomorrow now. Its only £3 I think although I'm using demo

Apparently there are developer improvements planned

Just tried it on mine, I have to use different values to you, I have to use some expo, offset and weight my for some reason its not registering any aileron channel movement

"yes its just been released lots of improvements to come"

****** off.

Looks like there was a loose solder joint from previous crash on the 250. Went out this morning and of the motors cut

Diatone frame knackered. Antenna pulled from fatshark vtx

Ffs

Can these antennas be fixed back on easy?It looks to have ripped off the pads from the pcb. Is there a vtx that will perform as good if not better than the fatshark one at a fraction of the cost?

I feel your pain man, if the pads on the vtx are gone you could trace the pads but it isn't going to be strong unless you use a pig tail to come form the board. thing is I wouldn't trust your soldering mate.... no offence!

Nah, its gone, anyway, some of the pins on the connector have snapped.


What we lookin for in terms of a replacement, seen some people mentioning these on the multi-rotor forums for a VTX? (not from a thread I started)

Also frame wise, I am not sure what route to go down, ideally in my next frame I want to use a space underneath the main body to house the esc and wiring rather than on the arms, I can either try and do this with another diatone silver blade frame, and use some spacers between the very bottom plate, and the next layer plate with the power board. Or try a different frame (although I need it to be around the £25-£30 max mark
 
supposed to be as good as any cheap vtx like boscam or aomway by all accounts. How it compares tot he immersion stuff I do not know.

I use a aomway and am happy with it but I couldn't compeare.
