Buffy's FPV Vids

I thought I's start a thread for all my FPV vids. I have a few platforms so one thread for all would be best.

I'm loving my QAV500 quad. It's a real speed demon, no hovering around with this baby. My top speed is 83kph, gps speed. I want to get to 100kph.


My MK quad is for stable video. Here's a 360 panorama on Lake Huron.

Thanks Max. Where you been lately? You only fly in the winter?

I bought the QAV500 from GetFPV. http://www.getfpv.com/multi-rotor-fr...ter-frame.html

They also have a 540 and a 400 multi. The motor arms are aluminium, strong with no flex. Not a big fan of the plastic arms like the DJI arms, which have lots of flex.

Received some new props for the 500 and had it out for a flight last night. Still getting some oscillation in FFF. PID's are almost there.

Re: Buffy's FPV Vids

nice quads

hey I just figured it out ... Get FPV used to be called FPVManuals, run by that Nilson guy. He makes some very cool items.

I might preorder one of those 540 with the brushless gimbal. wowee

BC, you won't go wrong with a QAV multirotor. I just ordered the QAV400. Going to get rid of my TBS Disco. I don't like the plastic arms, way too much flex for a nimble quad. The QAV's are very solid with no flex.

Testing the VectorDD brushless gimbal from Viacopter on my MK quad. Not too bad but could be improved. Ah.. test, test and more testing.

I was hoping to stick with my HT-FPV framed Nazagps quad and just add a BGimbal eventually. It already flies fairly jello free.

Very nice, Buffy! That looked really smooth. Especially when you can see the prop-tips from time to time as you pitch the quadcopter over. I want one!!!!

I just received my Naza V2 last week. Once I get it installed in my quad, I am definitely going to have to get a PTZ on it.
