    5V Power Supply - Inspire

    My FPV camera install involved tapping the main battery PDB with a BEC. Get yourself the proper BEC and check out steps 8-11 in the guide here. http://www.dslrpros.com/pdfs/diy-inspire-fpv-install.pdf Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Downtown Miami / Key biscayne

    We just flew down there last week for AMC, and the Florida Film Office has some pretty steep restrictions on 7mi Bridge and Rickenbacker. We had only a small permit window and police escorts. Be careful, especially around the start of 7mi. You're within 5nm of KMTH at that point. And the...

    USA Section 333 Exemption Progress Question

    I had to sign an NDA and waiver, send them a certain hardware ID number, and download a special version of the app to unlock only the airport that I needed for only the times that I specified. The tablet then had to be connected to the Internet the entire time for the unlock to work. They were...

    DSLRpro.com FPV, has anyone tried it?

    I bought it and installed it myself. The sleek integration into the nose cone was one selling point for me, although it's just 3D printed parts. Not the same material as the stock body. Also the fact that it utilizes the existing power system is key. I didn't want to worry about buying/flying...

    Case Choice

    This case is large, cargo bay only. I have a custom molded version with $50k of Steadicam gear in it also, and that survives the cargo hold every time. But for overhead bins this is way beyond size restrictions. It has wheels and a beefy pull handle though! Rolls nicely. Sent from my iPhone...

    Case Choice

    Pelican 1650 case with custom foam from Fuerte Cases. Travel mode for me. I don't like the gimbal bouncing around under the belly of the craft when it's off, and removing the gimbal every time defeats the purpose of avoiding wear and tear. It's worth the slightly lower profile for me to keep the...
