    There are some settings you can use to make decent video. Then its a matter of keeping everything steady and in the frame. Try shooing at f16 (aperture) in manual focus, focused at infinity. When the planes are close, rotate the focus ring to 20-30 feet, then when the panes fly past that 30 foot...

    I too took a little video but it sux. A bit of warning, it is shaky because my camera is real heavy. Without using a shoulder rig to support the weight, it's almost impossible to hold my camera steady. Please keep that in mind, and view at your own risk ;) Btw it is in 1080p. Also YouTube has...

    OK, so here's the story. Shortly after the pilots meeting, this nice fellow brought up this cool looking Sbach chatted a few seconds and took off. The problem is he didn't have sunglasses or a hat (see first photo). I took a few shots and saw him holding his radio with one hand, and using the...

    Just in case some of you don't know, I am mainly a portrait photographer. I had Kim turn his head a little because I say his plane in the reflection of his glasses. I thought it looked cool, so I make the shot. And his plane

    Thanks. There are so many shots to go through so lets get started. This plane was just incredible. It's a Hangar 9 35% Extra and happened to be Mark Leseberg's Tuscon Acrobatic Shootout plane three years ago. It has an incredible custom paint job. The wings, ahh the wind are custom reworked...

    Help With Motor Timing and Poor Throttle Response (Gecko 120HV)

    If your wires were so long they created line loss (resistance) it could cause things to heat up faster as the voltage drops in the pack, especially if you try to push the motor hard. You see as voltage drops, current increases. As current increases so does heat. Compound the problem with line...

    Help With Motor Timing and Poor Throttle Response (Gecko 120HV)

    The way I understand resistance it isn't necessarily attributed to gauge, granted all things equal the larger gauge the less resistance. With that said, an 8awg solid core wire vs a multi-strand wire, the milti-strand wire has far less resistance. Electricity transfers on the outside of the...

    I want to leave tomorrow, but sleeping in the car for 2 nights is too much. I can do one, Saturday night, so I'll see you guys Saturday most likely. But these kids are driving me crazy.
