Hey guys! Eric here, glad ya'll liked the episode, was fun seeing what Josh & Josh experience on the other side of the lens from where I normally stand. :) I do have a tricopter, 2 quads, 2 hexas and I am designing and slowly working on my octo frame. So I def dont hate multirotors. LOL Each has their pros/cons for sure. One thing the T-Rex is really good at is tracking a fast object...it is ALOT faster than a multirotor. I am excited to go flybarless with a 3 axis stabilized gimbal.
That's awesome and shows just how much the rc world has expanded into so many different applications from just for fun all the way to professional photography
Hey Glennster! The shocks dampen any vibrations or shaking that might exist after proper setup, head & blade balance etc. are done. (cant get them to disappear entirely...even on a multirotor) They gyros for the axis' of the gimbal will stabilize the camera so that it maintains itself level to the horizon no matter how the heli banks or pitches & they do an awesome job. Vibrations however will still show up in a gyro-stab gimbal if the heli is not setup right. Cheers! ~Eric
They do have collective pitch, the rotation doesn't change, the pitch of the blades does. When the heli is upside down, the blades are tilted so that they are at an angle (relative to the ground) as being similar to when flying normal (all being relative to the ground).
Sounds good and I hope we see the results. Take a look at arducopter or DJI for heli's for a flight controller for your setup. Accelerometers and gps etc could really help the setup which perhaps would allow one operator to do the filming and the flying
hey haniszek! the lift capacity the T-rex has is pretty outstanding. the 5D is def a heavy camera and so is the 16-35 lens. It is admittedly a little nerve racking but not enough to stop me from putting it on there. :o) Cheers! ~Eric
I would think that a t-rex 800 or any single rotor would be very dangerous for filming weddings as you meantioned. I think if David was around he would have a lot of comments and suggestions for you about carrying a digital slr camera. Good video as usual and it is nice to see something different even if it is not something I would try.
I agree that multi-ro's are far superior platforms for Stabilization, gimble mounting, less vibration, heavey-lift, auto-leveling etc etc. but I do see an application for still using conventional FP Heli's because of the flexibility, speed and High-performance maneuverability! I wish I could fly a FP heli this stable. lol
Thanks mountaindewdude! i am actually picking up another T-rex....a 550. Just to have a fun machine for practice / fun. Can just never have enough in this hobby. :o) Cheers! ~Eric
I was talking about the "ground" part of the takeoff. but it can manage a vertical climb out and a very steep (45-degree) approach with a powered flare at the end to shallow it out in the last couple feet.
Hey Jake! I am admittedly not much of a 3D Heli pilot. I can do loops, rolls, piros and basic stuff, but as far as actual 3D goes...here is my take on that. I like to fly, I dont like to crash. LOL :o) 3D flying tends to push the envelope of a persons skill level which means there is going to be a crash at some point. Then you have to rebuild (UGH) and also spend a bunch of money (heli rebuilds are not cheap) So that is why i have personally left 3D for everyone else. LOL Cheers! ~Eric
My suggestion there....is go with the hexa. Then you can carry a multitude of different cams. GoPro, Sony NEX 5 or 7, Panny GH2 or GH3, small DSLR like a T3i. If you truly only want to carry a gopro, then a hexa isn't necessarily "needed". Although a hexa is more stable IMHO. Hope this helps! Cheers! ~Eric
hey chrisorbics! when filming at weddings with any of my copters (singles or multis) it is never during the ceremony. :o) I get there and fly in the morning to obtain shots of the church from the air. The heli is most times in the Jeep before the people ever show up. The few times I have flown when a bride is walking in a field etc. I have used the smaller quad and stayed well away from her as not to be dangerous. Cheers! Eric
I am running the flybars, because currently that setup is working. However, in a few weeks I am going to move to a flybarless head and 3-axis controller with GPS position hold, altitude hold etc. :)
you have to use your feet for the fight because you cant hurt the flying hands lol hehehehe happy flying great video love the trex 700 great stuff guys !!!!!
My quad & hexa frames are all approx 40 inches from motor shaft to shaft. I run the QC-3328 motors from the Cinestar. I am currently outfitting one of my hexas with the MikroKopter FC board. I run the Hexas on 5 or 6 cell 5000mah lipos. the 6 cell will fly a gopro for approx 18 min. :) Although I never fly that long because I try to only pull about 75-80% out of my batteries in one flight.
There will always be more vibration on this compared to a well balanced multirotor. Main and tail interfere with each other and just count the number of moving parts. Still a helicopter just sounds, looks and flies so much better.
Like for super high-speed chase-scenes for example! No multicopter is going to even come close in a drag-race with a FP or CP heli like this and thats when they are most stable. If i were doing aerial videography for a living and had the skills to fly FP, CP this well I wouldn’t let those skills go to waste. Everything has its purpose!
That's a good reason :P I am just a little puzzles as to why a camera made for stills is better at video than one made for video in the same price range. Thanks for answering :)
I guess I should have clarified more....when i said that, I was referring to overall flight characteristics. The larger heli's are not as touchy & twitchy as their smaller counterparts with crazy high head speeds. This machine as well as multi-rotors can be out-fitted with GPS and position hold FC's that will make them literally sit there and not move at all. For flying gyros only though.....it is a pretty rock solid machine. It gets the job done 4 me. Cheers! ~Eric
I am currently putting together my Cinestar powered Hexa which will have the Freefly Radian gyro gimbal on it. Will be posting stuff on my youtube channel as I get it finished up. :)
you can two man a multirotor (control the cam separate from the pilot). dont know what hes talking about. 9:30 in terms of heavy lifting, you can also do the same with MRs. i dont see this guys point. it comes down to whether you like single or multiple rotors, basically.
I actually have interest in designing a multi-engine airplane with no nose, and a gimbal hanging in the front to carry a DSLR. the only prob with that for me is that when flying for a job, I might not always have the space to take-off, or to shoot an approach. So it limits where I can fly. ~Eric
Eric you could hook a. cc3d revolution flight controller with librapilot on it and have GPS, autonomous waypoint flights , telemetry, auto stability flight modes and a ton more for less than $50, and it has 433mhz Rx built in that you can fly with or just watch what your doing though telemetry on the gcs real time. nice for pilot two to watch battery life. also cc3d revolution works in any air frame
**Mind blown** I knew they did that lol and I knew they didn't counter rotate but I couldnt connect the dots lol. You're right. Anyway, back to the price of actually doing this...
I could be entirely wrong, but in all of the pictures I can see, the blades are exaclty the same upside down. Remember, they are helicopter rotor blades...not propellers and that rc hellicopters can fly upside down...
Hey guys, great video. Can you do a video of a scratch build balsa wood airplane. Me and I know other viewers love the scratch builds, and I would just like to see one done with balsa wood, because most of the stuff flite test does is foamies. By limiting yourself to foamies, I feel as if you are leaving out half of the rec plane world. Thanks a lot, and love the videos!!!!!
Nice episode guys, this is one topic that interest's me loads just due to the application's that this setup can be used for and multi rotors and like you said in the vid people are willing to pay for such a service.... Keep up the good work,,, p.s who won the fight... lol
a good platform to start with if you need stol is a multiplex funcub. I can get mine off the ground in about 8 inches with no payload, and when carrying a mock-up dslr the same weight as the 7D (foam with lead weights in it, just to see how it would change the flight characteristics) I can take off in 3 feet and land in under ten. it would also be easy to convert it to a twin motor, with two 300-400 watt motors on the wings. good luck, and happy crashing! -joe
AGREED BIG TIME SBA ! i use to be a major heli man but after multi rotor, well you know what they say.... once you go manual multi you never go back to auto rotation... LOL
As was stated it has been tuned more since then by adjusting the oil filled shocks which may have caused the shuddering you saw in the video. Could also be caused by having a low head speed. Getting perfect video on helicopters is very hard to do so i just do stills with them but would like to get better video when i have more time. Also try flying a multirotor in 30 mph winds lol :-))
Wind and forward speed, are my only 2 real arguments for the single-rotor over the octo....otherwise you are right on. It is basically personal pref otherwise. :o) Cheers! Eric
You would remove the tails and anything related to those and I feel that reversing two sets of the main rotors wouldn't be too hard. I've never had nor seen a T-rex, but I did, about 2 years ago, have a hobby grade rc helicopter and there was nothing blocking the user from putting the blades in the other way and reversing the motor would be nothing more than simply switching any two wires between the motor and esc...The knocking someone's head off thing would be resolved by not hitting people...
Single rotor is an analog, pure mechanical flying machine that doesn't require any electric controls (Yes gyro on tail helps, but you can still fly without it) It's like F15, a smooth mechanical flying machine. Multirotor is an all digital, electronics powerhouse that's in the air by sheer willpower of an electronic intervention. It's like F117, which will fall out of the sky without electronics. If you put enough electrics on a single rotor, you can make it fly "hands off" like the multi rotor. Otherwise pilot skill is paramount on single rotors. I guess energy efficiency is bit better on multi rotor because there's no tail rotor wasting 15% of power, but there's no power-robbing gears/belt/rotorheads on multi rotor. With a single rotor, there's the dreaded "dissymmetry of lift" issue, which doesn't exist on multi rotor, but flight speed is not important for aerial photography/fpv. Multirotor is better for aerial photography, especially in 6- and 8- rotor machine.
They are super-cheap, good quality lenses, light weight, and the quality out of them rivals cinema cameras that cost 10x as much (at least that's why in the photo world)
I'm not sure either, but I thought they had collective pitch that allowed them to fly upside down. Even if the whole heli turned upside down, the prop would be turning the opposite direction needed to create lift.
Well go tell Mr. yz426clint a little futher back in the conversation because he is the one that made the charge. You are responding to my response to his comment. Personally I don’t care what Josh is but when people start saying that quadcopters are gay then I get riled up! Hahaha
You should get an AMA license if you don't have one. For one, if you do come across clubs, you'll be able to fly. It's free until you turn 19 and you get a magazine with it too.
I'd totally do it lol I just don't have any money for it. And for switching the props, I think you would have to buy counter rotating blades because the blades arent the same upside down as they are rightside up.
Flying a heli FPV would be hell if you were trying to get a shot with the gimbal. Have you tried FPV using a separate fixed board cam to get a feed for the pilot? Would love to know if there are any heli pilots out there who fly fpv and love it. Seems ok in the simulator (after much practice), working on getting a video system up and going at a price I can afford so I can find out for myself. Starting with my H-Quad, working towards a 450 size heli.
What head speed are you running at? Looked real nice. I built a Gaui X7 for a friend last year with a full Photoship One 3 axis gimbal setup. I know it is rated for the Red Epic but a Canon 5D is the biggest it has had on it.
I'm not 100% sure but that blue and white plane in the background looks like it could be a twin engined swappable? The two motor pods look suspiciously like the power pods from the swappable series :P
Very impressive bird but are they really getting the most out of it. The gimbal didnt look like it was gyro stabilized at all which really leaves the setup wanting in my opinion. Pretty sure there are options now that will control a heli like this with auto level and gps etc so it really is as flexible as a multirotor in that aspect but very much a road less travelled. Hook up a gyro to that gimbal and some good servos and the footage would be a lot more impressive

Seeing this fly will always be way more impressive than a quad. And that noise!
sounds like a turbine starting up
Yep
the beginning of your videos and the music is REALLY, REALLY annoying
That's awesome and shows just how much the rc world has expanded into so many different applications from just for fun all the way to professional photography
Helicopters are awesome. Multi rotors are functional.
Ralph Latham you have it backwards lol
Wow, impressive lift on that t-rex. I have a 5D and that thing is HEAVY. I would never think of putting it on an aerial RC vehicle...
Hey Glennster! The shocks dampen any vibrations or shaking that might exist after proper setup, head & blade balance etc. are done. (cant get them to disappear entirely...even on a multirotor) They gyros for the axis' of the gimbal will stabilize the camera so that it maintains itself level to the horizon no matter how the heli banks or pitches & they do an awesome job. Vibrations however will still show up in a gyro-stab gimbal if the heli is not setup right. Cheers! ~Eric
wow, that heli is a beast !! The blade smack sounds like a full size! Very cool !
They do have collective pitch, the rotation doesn't change, the pitch of the blades does. When the heli is upside down, the blades are tilted so that they are at an angle (relative to the ground) as being similar to when flying normal (all being relative to the ground).
This is one of your BEST videos. Sorry you don't do more with helis. Awesome!
The sound of 825mm is just amazing
Sounds good and I hope we see the results. Take a look at arducopter or DJI for heli's for a flight controller for your setup. Accelerometers and gps etc could really help the setup which perhaps would allow one operator to do the filming and the flying
I feel like 800 should also be the number of feet you stand away from the heli while flying it...
Thought must be in the pipeline (Flybarless GPS hold etc) especially for AP and Video etc. Excellent job looks really great - a beast!
hey haniszek! the lift capacity the T-rex has is pretty outstanding. the 5D is def a heavy camera and so is the 16-35 lens. It is admittedly a little nerve racking but not enough to stop me from putting it on there. :o) Cheers! ~Eric
Some day someone needs to do a tick tock with that. Really nice setup
Just got my PhotoShip One setup for my TRex600 this week!!
time for some AP baby!
Eric, watch out for vortex ring state while descending since that machine is quite heavy. Always move forward so your in clean air.
Good video, nice clean setup on that 700 stretch...best of luck in the photography business.
I would think that a t-rex 800 or any single rotor would be very dangerous for filming weddings as you meantioned. I think if David was around he would have a lot of comments and suggestions for you about carrying a digital slr camera.

lol hehehehe happy flying great video love the trex 700 great stuff guys !!!!!
yes, the 5D is a real workhorse of a camera. so for stuff on the ground they are great too. The main Flitetest camera is the 5D ;o) ~Eric
This is way awesome then I assumed in the first place!
My quad & hexa frames are all approx 40 inches from motor shaft to shaft. I run the QC-3328 motors from the Cinestar. I am currently outfitting one of my hexas with the MikroKopter FC board.

I don't even wanna see how much that piece of engineering awesomeness costs.
Impressive footage! From 4:40 it almost looks like a miniature railway scene.
Awesome vid! Heli's are a rush.
Like for super high-speed chase-scenes for example! No multicopter is going to even come close in a drag-race with a FP or CP heli like this and thats when they are most stable. If i were doing aerial videography for a living and had the skills to fly FP, CP this well I wouldn’t let those skills go to waste. Everything has its purpose!
nice job once again guys, your channel really helps a lot about rc's, keep it up guys...
That's a good reason :P I am just a little puzzles as to why a camera made for stills is better at video than one made for video in the same price range. Thanks for answering :)
Good stuff. Hope big brother will let it continue.
I am with you Josh
Ah yes, the journey of getting higher quality aerial shots, with craft that can carry high-end DSLR - EOS 1Dc would be awesome!
I guess I should have clarified more....when i said that, I was referring to overall flight characteristics. The larger heli's are not as touchy & twitchy as their smaller counterparts with crazy high head speeds.

You should try a multirotor from Intuitive Aerial. It easily carries a RED epic with follow focus and all that perfectly stable :D
Great job guys!
That's awesome! What is like to know is with the setup, can you still go inverted?
**Mind blown**
I knew they did that lol and I knew they didn't counter rotate but I couldnt connect the dots lol.
You're right. Anyway, back to the price of actually doing this...
I could be entirely wrong, but in all of the pictures I can see, the blades are exaclty the same upside down. Remember, they are helicopter rotor blades...not propellers and that rc hellicopters can fly upside down...
Eric----Love that hat! Really good video from your setup.
Wow!!!!! That is so COOL!
Really nice video I love flite test
Did this years ago, it's pretty tough to get everything to set up right. Went to Multicopters
That thing is legit!

i use to be a major heli man but after multi rotor, well you know what they say.... once you go manual multi you never go back to auto rotation... LOL
Until your drone fails and falls out of the sky destroying your 3,000 DSLR camera because you couldn't autorotate.

Gnarly setup man, digging it 👍

Just beautiful!
I'm not sure either, but I thought they had collective pitch that allowed them to fly upside down. Even if the whole heli turned upside down, the prop would be turning the opposite direction needed to create lift.
DSLRs are way better than any compact camera. But they are bigger and more expensive.
Eric shouldn't wear that hat until they can make it further into the playoffs LOL

Very interesting vid you guys! Thank you!
Rich.
You should get an AMA license if you don't have one. For one, if you do come across clubs, you'll be able to fly. It's free until you turn 19 and you get a magazine with it too.

Very nice! Thanks for this show.

I haven't found any good videos on how to fly 3d helis, would love to see you do a tutorial on how to fly 3d!
Flying a heli FPV would be hell if you were trying to get a shot with the gimbal. Have you tried FPV using a separate fixed board cam to get a feed for the pilot? Would love to know if there are any heli pilots out there who fly fpv and love it.

Starting with my H-Quad, working towards a 450 size heli.
Now that's pretty amazing!!!
They've already got variable pitch single & 4 motor quads :)
What head speed are you running at? Looked real nice. I built a Gaui X7 for a friend last year with a full Photoship One 3 axis gimbal setup. I know it is rated for the Red Epic but a Canon 5D is the biggest it has had on it.
Lets get some videos of Eric's multirotors too. His Vimeo and TH-cam don't have much info on the setups.
Idk I love both helicopters and quads but. I got more love for helis. Just don’t exactly know why
I'm not 100% sure but that blue and white plane in the background looks like it could be a twin engined swappable? The two motor pods look suspiciously like the power pods from the swappable series :P
This is a great video. I have a 450 3-D and strap a GoPro to it but maybe I will go nuts and put my sony hdr-xr260 on it.
You guys should do more helicopter videos!!!! :)
I think you should try a smaller camera. Use something like a Canon Elph 330 HS. It would be lighter for the copter.
Dude put a follow focus on it and hook it up with a servo that would be fully ROCK
Awesome!
lets go make some money with these machines!!!
love watching you videos,always very interesting,keep them coming
Nice video. Im In marked fore camera and drone. I like this video.
Yeah you can get it from the AMA website, but it was free for me since I am under 19.
Very impressive bird but are they really getting the most out of it. The gimbal didnt look like it was gyro stabilized at all which really leaves the setup wanting in my opinion. Pretty sure there are options now that will control a heli like this with auto level and gps etc so it really is as flexible as a multirotor in that aspect but very much a road less travelled. Hook up a gyro to that gimbal and some good servos and the footage would be a lot more impressive
Hi :)
Another awesome video keep it up
