Chuck Spaulding commented on Nicholas Witham's blog post Pixracer (actually a counterfeit): Now available from Hobbyking!
"Sometimes its difficult to determine what others mean online.  Your English is fine.

"Not sure I understand your point.  Are you saying the PixRacer is overpriced?
The PixRacer was designed using the "next generation" processor, which I understand is four times faster than an overclocked NAZE32.

Is it four times better?  Maybe not…"

"It depends on when you took Business 101.  Because when I took it, it wasn't about making things the cheapest, it was about adding the most value. Another phrase that came out of Business 101 was "You get what you pay for."  
Cloning is for…"

"Its my understanding that DroneCode should be policing this so I think the open source community should be much more critical of DroneCode on the DIY forum than we are of Hobbyking on theirs.
Hobbyking is what it is, this clearly crosses the line…"

Chuck Spaulding commented on Nicholas Witham's blog post Pixracer (actually a counterfeit): Now available from Hobbyking!
"The HobbyKing clone of the PixRacer is not just a clone, its a counterfeit controller. It is being marketed as if it were produced by the original manufacturer, even down to the fact that they call it the "Xracer" the working title of the board…"

Chuck Spaulding replied to Yan Ma's discussion Visual Tracking Gimbal Control
"Hi Yan,

I've been beta testing your vertical application.  On your forum I have suggested that you integrate your technology with Ardupilot, especially given that DJI is offering their own similar technology in the Phantom 4.  Those suggestions…"

"I never found a solution for this.  It always seems to flip the image in the same direction so I jist load the images into Lightroom and flip the verticals to the right."

Chuck Spaulding replied to Gerard Juarez's discussion Suggestions for Cameras on Custom Drone Rig Build
"I think the a5000 is the same or similar to the NEX5n?  When using the NEX5 in NADIR the camera places some sort of trigger in the EXF data that randomly flips the image, do you have this problem?
Not a big deal but Pix4D and PTGui both have trouble…"

Chuck Spaulding replied to Ragha's discussion Aerial Photography and Videography
"Not sure how much help you'll get asking about DJI on the DIY website.  Also you say that quality is important, quality and video from any DJI camera or GoPro are not consider very good quality.  With the X3 camera on the Phantom3Pro you can shoot…"

Chuck Spaulding replied to Greg Nuspel's discussion Will the QX1 be a good addition
"The NEX5n does the same thing and it really makes it difficult to use the images with applications like Pix4D and PTGui.  Its very annoying.  I found a Python script that rotates the images back to the orientation they were shot but haven't been…"
