Socratic 101
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 10 ธ.ค. 2007
UAV-America grew out of Socratic Productions. While experimenting with aerial photography about 5 years ago, I began assembling multirotor helicopters with the hope of being able to carry a camera and get decent images. Back then, RTF platforms were still a long way off. But there were kits around, even if they didn't have GPS or much in the way of stabilization. But all that changed very quickly. Now, instead of just experimenting with multirotor and fixed wing UAVs (drones, multirotors, sUAS) we offer our expertise to others in the form of custom built and ready to fly platforms for everything from photography and videography, mapping and surveying, to precision agriculture. We have a dedicated TH-cam channel UAV America and you can find us on the web at www.uavamerica.com

How to select a drone
มุมมอง 1.7K9 ปีที่แล้ว
Some things you should be aware of when choosing a drone (uav, uas, multirotor, suas). For the most part, your choice should be driven by the application you plan on using the drone for - photography, mapping, surveying, inspection or pure fun. See our site for more in-depth information www.uavamerica.com

We shot this over 10 years ago in standard definition (unfortunately) but I still find it interesting to see the photos of the time (early 1900s) and hear the stories of the long time residents of the town. Just thought I would share it.

So many familiar voices and faces, all long gone now!
Thx
I loved the story when Mr. Cigal was talking about the "Southwick Hermits". I wonder who is still considered a Southwick Hermit over there, LOL... We need to keep the old termanology alive into the next generation. 😊 Timestamp 8:11 I loved every story in this video! God Bless them all. and a special thank you to the production crew of this documentary. This is truly a priceless treasure.
Their will be a new world era !!!!! Oprah Winfrey is a princess!!!!!!
Just don't cut your finger. I nearly lost a finger tip, when I accidentally hit the throttle.
This was great...soo interesting...i could watch this stuff all night..im from greenfield mass..live in southern ct now but have cousins in southwick...thats what brought me here..THANKS ! !
Hi I recently purchased pixhawk 2.4.8 and a hexa frame S550. I am facing some problem with it. Please help me 1. Main out 3 of pixhawk seems to be the problem. Whatever ESC I connect I am not able to spin motor. But with other Main out's I am able to spin. What could be the problem here? How do I resolve? I had flashed Hexa firmware, Octo firmware and quad firmware. None of these firmware worked for me on main out 3 . But main out 3 was working fine before. 2. As I am not able to use main out 3, I had to flash octo firmware for the pixhawk on my hexa frame. So , I could use main out 7 and able to spin the motor. Now I am able to arm the drone. But when I try fly , it leans or drifts towards left side. I am not able to control it and I have damaged my hexa frame. I am using FSi6 transmitter. Do I have to trim? or Do I have to calibrate comapsss. How do I handle levelling issue? Please help me.
1) Powered the drone with 3s 2200mAh battery. 2) ESCs make initial sound(Don't know if anyone is not making). 3) After sometime, can see 2,3,4 motors rattling a bit with each beep, except motor 1 and no beep with motor 1 ESC. 4) Using Pixhawk, after arming when I fly the drone tilts on the motor 1 side, but motor1 rotates. 5) For this reason, I have lost my props of motor 1 twice. Please help.
what's the difference between this and Pixhawk Pro version?
I dont know if you will ever see this question because I can see that the video is abet old but I just hope that you see it and you can help me. I have couple of pixhawks on my quad and one of them I had configur for rc plane, with frsky x8r reciever. the problem is I just can not get the Flight modes to work!!!? I have it working on my drones with other recievers and I have been using this reciever on my quad at some point and it worke but right now no matter what I do it just wont work. any idea's !? and it is connected with one line sbus to rc in.....!!? thank you
Which ESCS were you using?
Awesome explanations
can you make video on , single propeller drone by using gyroscope
cool frame
assuming the table is light enough for the helicopter to lift it, will the helicopter lift the platform and still fly?
awesome stories
I still regret selling mine!
WOW perfect stability, it have a gyroscope?
also can you fit a release switch such as for fishing line"""",
were do you do you fit the video cameras/microphone??
Where is the part 2?
This is a good video. are you still flying? don't see anything new. how about the PX4
Hi Dennis, what do you think about...Holybro - Pixhawk 4 (for PX4) Have a nice flight Philippe
can i connect all the three wires of all the esc to pixhawk without cutting off any middle power cable. Will it be okay for pixhawk?
Hi ... I'm 41 yrs old and I did never flying yet . Is that any possibale to get learned to be CPL (H) ?
Can I use a 3DR solo link
Did anyone like the Hps ad?
nice like it
what is the dimension of frame you used?
Truly awful. Using the Socratic method ? To explain the principles of a helicopter? You better study Physics first. A waste of time
Nice, sure beats a garmin astro on price
how did you get mission planner to speak when you set up ?
Sorry it took 2 years for me to see one of your'e video's. Could a sony qx1 system work on a gimbal, the camera is only 225 grams( without lense),20 mp and 4k.
Be sure you research all the choices now available....a lot of changes in the last two years. Short answer is most any camera or sensor can work on some drones (weight being the primary limiting factor). However, Sony uses different control kprotocol for different cameras - usually lanc or visca. Your challenge will be to control the camera and gimbal from a single source. In the case of the QX1, it might only be blue tooth or wifi interface as it is designed to mount on a cell phone (I think). I am not familiar with this model but we did some experimenting a few years back with a similar cell phone model. I know that Aeryon is using a similar sensor on their camera/gimbal system. So it is possible...but likely expensive to implement unless you are familiar with the protocols mentioned above.

very good
Great job, man! Thank you to show us the PixHawk communication port setting! You did very well didactic explanation! Allow me asks you some questions, please. 1) Are there different PixHawk specific firmware needed to load it when flying airplane or multicopter? 2) Or the default PixHawk insider firmware is enought to do any route traced with Mission Planner free software? 3) What is the maximum distance provided by the 915MHz radio telemetry antennas? 4) Do you know if the Spektrum DSMX receiver (e.g. DX8), with attached telemetry modules (pitot tube, thermal sensors, rpm sensor...) can be connected to the PixHawk RX IN port? Or the Spektrum AR8000 RX should be connected to the PixHawk RX IN port and the Spektrum telemetry module AT1000 connected at the PixHawk SBUS port? What about PixHawk SPEKTRUM/DSM port connection?
Since I set in my mind that I should purchase a helicopter, only today I asked myself: how helicopter rotates? And, thanks a lot, now I get it!

I am sending my warranty claim into IKO today. My shingles were 25 year shingles, but were showing major signs of disintegration after 12 years. This summer they will be on the house 14 years. Your shingles are more brittle than mine. My shingles are loosing all the stone grit. We'll see how this warranty goes.
good luck! I got nowhere. I even had ikon rep come inspect after 5 years when it started falling apart. said it wasn't a problem! I'll be surprised if they don't tell you.....tough sx#t. :(
I k o. Chateauxs horrible sad to say did many of these roofs
@@jamescooper5705 Update: I joined a class action suit against IKO. Took 3-1/2 years, but I got $1300. About 10% of what my new roof cost me.
@@howardmurphy2841 Mine were Cambridge organic. I joined a class action lawsuit against IKO and received $1,300, but it took 3-1/2 years. My roof replacement cost $12,500. Needless to say I didn't use IKO shingles again!
@@sensforce that's sucks good luck with the new ones I went back to several customers to remove samples so they could send it in
thanks....a lot I understand
What battery are you using?
where to buy this frame
I don't recommend you start any FI engine like that.
Ok. What do you see objectionable and what do you recommend?
Manufacturers only spend a fortune on development, yet still they are unable to make an engine start unaided without applying extra throttle
Could you post a part list?
+Veeresh Phoolbhavi Gosh, this post is so old I would imagine the price of parts has gone down dramatically. You might want to search around the forums and see what you can find. I am now working on larger birds and really don't have a lot of knowledge of costs or best products available today. Sorry - good luck and enjoy the build.
Hi, do you use OPTO ESC or common esc? I mean, is it normal connect all 3 wires from each esc which deliver some power?
same question from my side
I'm flying the gh4 with the 50mm cannon lens and the ronin m with the dji s1000 I'm getting jelly video and vibration can you help me
