Olivier Dufayt commented on Andrey Hanin's blog post Creating 3D models using Pix4D, UgCS and DJI Phantom 2
"For those interested, you can do it for free using the "Autodesk Memento" project or the older "Autodesk 123D Catch". Both of them use cloud computing for the calculations.

"Hi Trent,
I supported you on this first try... and will do on the next one !
I'm sure you'll do it... safety first !

Olivier Dufayt replied to VASILIS ANALYTIS's discussion switching from ALT mode to Stabilise problem
"Yes, it's coming from the accelerometers. If you rotate the APM without compass, you'll see the movement but the heading will be false.
Try to do the test with a real "hiking compass" next to you for comparison.
The accelerometers detect the…"

Olivier Dufayt replied to VASILIS ANALYTIS's discussion switching from ALT mode to Stabilise problem
"Hi,
You need to hover at mid-stick to avoid any jump when switching modes. You can change the value of your throttle at mid-stick in MP, in the basic setup (the one with only 3 sliders on the screen).
Increasing the value (500 by default) will give…"

Olivier Dufayt replied to VASILIS ANALYTIS's discussion switching from ALT mode to Stabilise problem
"Hi,
Just give it a try and rotate the APM and compass while watching the screen in MP. You'll find the good setting when the compass is giving the right direction and moves correctly in MP (you need to know where North is)....
You need to rotate the…"

"Hi Arthur,
I just played with this new version and I must say that this one is a winner !

Olivier Dufayt commented on Yusuf Pirgali's blog post Hobbyking Seem to have a Cheap Naza looking FC
"It's an IdeaFly controller clone, you can see it in the QuanumTools pdf file, page 11...
Is the IdeaFly a NAZA clone, I don't know...
If it is, then this one is a "sub-clone" of the NAZA... ;-)"

Olivier Dufayt replied to Craig Elder's discussion APM Copter 2.9.1.b has been released
"Hi all,
I have a question about tuning... one more...
I was still in 2.7 (evrything was tuned ok) and upgraded to 2.9.1b.
Stable mode is now nearly perfect for me but loiter and alt hold are "shaking" the quad. Loiter stays in a 3-4m box with a bit…"

"Hi Manfred,
I think it's agood product...  slightly heavier than the GoPro but the screen is a cool feature.
It's water resistance is good, I tested it under 1m of water and no problem...
I also like the zoom, even if it's a digital one. …"
