Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
I started with the DJI Phantom. Unfortunately, it is stable enough to do photography but fails to really offer the maneuverability and control I need for stable videography.

"Greg, I appreciate all the suggestions. Although I have my concerns about dealing with Chinese retailers from abroad, I may end up purchasing the T810. It isn't so big that I can't fold it up and transport it. I'm also interested in the Tarot 5D2…"
"LOL... the best gift is a gift with no purpose :)"
"Well I guess I am screwed... because everybody knows my concerns for ordering from Chinese suppliers. Good job William!"
"http://hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__49497__Quanum_QFX_Plus_GPS_M... interesting!
William, thanks for the suggestion regarding Tarot's gimbal. I have looked at the Tarot 5D2 but I don't think it supports the weight allowance I am looking…"

"Holy hell... nice gimbal. rofl."
"Sorry Wesley... but WTF? That thing is huge. Nah... dont need that big of a deal. I figure that I can accomplish what I need with a X8 probably no more than 800-1000mm. The key is the proper gimbal system. I need to find a heavy duty solution.…"
"Greg,
I concur with your philosophy.
A little background on me. I've constructed 2 multi rotors thus far. One is a X4 H-frame and the other is a Y6 coaxial. I love my coaxial configuration for the backup and because it does folds neatly.…"

"I've been reading about Tarot and the weight allowances that its structure can handle. It appears that the maximum weight allowance of its structural components is roughly 10 pounds. This seems to be in line with what I need. However, most…"
"William,
I'm looking to acquire a Black Magic Cinema Camera (4 lbs) to couple it with my Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 lense (less than 2 lbs). So, my total weight allowance for the camera would be around 6 lbs. I'm struggling to pick the proper gimbal…"

I've read extensively other forum entries regarding difficulties connecting via USB the APM 2.6 module.I'm having no luck with connecting via USB.Here are the steps I undertook:(1) I downloaded the latest USB driver for APM.(2) Restarted Windows 8…
"BTW William,
I am taking another look at your build log here. Do you have any test shots/video from your ensemble yet? I've been talking to some friends of mine who suggest that perhaps lifting an SLR isn't the best option. They were recommending…"

"Thank you William. I've bee told by others that these resources are good references for starting out. I appreciate your advice.
As for the advice regarding where to start from (in terms of payload), I've been eyeing the same approach. Ideally, it…"

"And I am torn between the Naza M V2 and the APM system. I have read somewhere that the Naza M V2 can only reliably fly copters up to about 700mm in size. Is this true? Furthermore, what has been your experience installing and calibrating the APM…"
