"You have two things to consider:
1. Video lag. This is likely to be high on cheaper solutions. Even half a second can be the difference between a successful flight and a crash.
2. Handshake delay. Because the data stream is digital, there may…"

Crasher commented on Manfred Dickgiesser's blog post I Wish I Was Excited About The GoPro Camera Craze"With respect, im amazed you think this is news. Half-baked, buggy products are the norm these days in everything. My brand new and very expensive laptop has so many bugs and flaws (not in the OS, in the laptop itself) it's not even funny."
Crasher replied to Greg's discussion Alternative Multicopter Autopilots"I agree.
Generally, UAV gear works very well by all accounts but it's poorly westernised. If the YS-X4 ends up as good as it's big brother, it will be a good, reasonably cheap waypoint solution."
Crasher commented on Roberto Navoni's blog post What kind of Design do you prefer for your next drone ?"@Erman,
I've looked everywhere for that! Thank-you soo much for posting that link. That really has made my day."
Crasher commented on Roberto Navoni's blog post What kind of Design do you prefer for your next drone ?"I think the Droidworx CX4 remains one of the "sexiest" production quads available, so you're definately in the right ballpark.
There was a render on DIYD of a Y6 design concept, it was beautiful! I can't find it now…"
Crasher replied to Drone Savant's discussion Quality..."If memory serves me, adjusting the timing in the ESC will help."
Crasher replied to Greg's discussion Alternative Multicopter Autopilots"I agree. I have experience of both. DJI has never let me down, it just works. OpenPilot also has a reputation for excellent gear but their GPS capable board isn't released yet."
Crasher replied to Greg's discussion Alternative Multicopter Autopilots"Then look at the DJI Naza. Good alt hold, loiter and i believe unlimited RTL. I own two and they've been awesome."
Crasher replied to Greg's discussion Alternative Multicopter Autopilots"The professional market is pretty much split between DJI Wookong and Mikrokopter, each has a loyal fan base.
For me, DJI products have proven robust, reliable and worked well. They've certainly had their problems (they've had a couple of…"
Crasher commented on Drone Savant's blog post The Flyaway Club site launch & submission contest!"I really think this is a vital next step in our hobby. Correlating results and identifying potential trends has important safety implications! Great idea!"
Crasher replied to HeliDragon's discussion APM 2.5 ArcuCopter 2.9.1 "twitches on it's own""PS,
If you have a different model of RX kicking around (maybe less than 8 ch) give that a go."
Crasher replied to HeliDragon's discussion APM 2.5 ArcuCopter 2.9.1 "twitches on it's own""I reckon this *might* be ppm encoder glitching.
1. Are you flyingFutaba as that's known to cause a problem in some configurations of 8 channel RX or more.
2. Id upgrade to the latest PPM encoder version (its in the wiki)
3. Im thinking a Dev…"
Crasher commented on Dany Thivierge's blog post Phantom's a beginner dream (still need wide open area to be safe)"Oh RL, I love your anti DJI sentiment. You never miss a chance to bring up the single digit perecent of users experiencing problems.
Do you actually own any DJI stuff? Or just comb rcgroups compiling problems :D :D"
Crasher commented on Nick Arsov's blog post AUAV3 is comming!"@Rana
Gluonpilot on UDB4 is an awesome idea! Will you be sharing?"

Posted on June 7, 2012 at 5:00am 19 Comments 1 Like
Early customers are starting to receive their Naza GPS Units, and while I await mine, the early feedback appears positive.
DJI customers in the southern hemisphere will be pleased to hear there are as of yet no reported issues regarding GPS lock. The GPS Upgrade, which brings Position Hold, Return to Home and Simple mode (often known as Carefree mode) appears to be around the $190 tag for existing…
