Back to work and note to self
I got back to work about a week ago, thanks to everyone that had kind and supportive words, I appreciate it. It’s an engineering oriented company and the people at the new place are nice and smart folks which makes it a cool place to work. I took my mini-quad out to show the FPV […]

3D Printed Landing Gear and Camera Mount for my DJI F550
Several weeks ago I ordered a new Naza-M V2 for my DJI F550 Flame Wheel multicopter. I originally had the DJI Wookong-M controller but had to sell that. The Naza v2 has all of the stability of that more expensive model and works great. Another feature I wanted to add was a brushless stabilized camera […]

New Multicopter FPV Flight Video
I shot another more interesting multicopter FPV flight this evening. My buddy Ollie shot the video from the handycam and was my backup pilot and spotter and I flew the camera on my Y-6 hexacopter. On my previous flight, which was my first time flying a multicopter via FPV, I just lazily strolled around because […]

Multicopter FPV
I just did my first flight with my Multicopter FPV setup and it was AWESOME! I’ve flown planes and gliders via FPV before, but one of the main reasons for building my Multicopter was to do FPV. My final goal is to attach a stabilized DSLR onto my multicopter rig and shoot some high quality […]

Another Silly Quest – Dynamic Balancing
I really want to get the best results out of my Y-6 Multicopter camera platform and I know a big part of that is reducing motor/prop vibrations in the airframe. I’m looking into a dynamic balancer for the purpose because even with static balancing there are still vibes. The system is not running smoothly and […]
