About Me:

Work for a software developer in Sydney. Obsessed with RC as a child. Now in my 40's and enough spare cash to tinker in RC hobbies, I'm drawn towards multicopters and FPV flying.


Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

I like photography and I like flying RC planes/heli's. Put the two together...

"Hi Paul,
Did you at some point have a look at my gear on www.groushousetechnologies.com?  I just recall someone asking about doing straight down mapping.  I now have a gimbal which will take up to NEX-7 sized cameras as well as a 3 or 2 axis mount…"

"Hi Eugene, how's this app going?  So much potential there.  Looks like it will be awesome.  Well done.
I'd be more interested in the live telemetry info overlaid on a map.  I think the best set up would be to use long distance radios between drone…"

"Some aggressive flying to test the gimbal limits from Alek B.  One hex motor is a bit dodgy apparently.  Can't imagine flying like this myself with a nice NEX sitting on my hexacopter.  Very confident flyer."

Possibly the lightest NEX sized camera gimbal you will find on the market.  Completely assembled with two brushless motors and control board/IMU, the entire gimbal weighs only 345g.It's bad enough that you want to lug a weighty camera under your…

With any luck the…"

This is my mid-sized Hex design with a brushless gimbal located directly in the center.  GPS pod sits on the top of the rod followed closely by a battery then the gimbal IMU.  Below the hub at the end…"
