What really stands out is the Canon's high shutter speed. At high shutter speeds the 1/2.5" CCD's all bloom when shooting white objects in front of dark backgrounds. The solution is to use low shutter speeds and stop down, but the Canon doesn't have manual shutter speed for video. It uses the highest shutter speed possible.

The Sanyo HD2 has manual shutter speed, so it wouldn't have this problem.

First flight with upgraded PWM code and a new 3.3Ah battery. Got 15 min before wind became impossible to take off in without flipping over. The ESC wouldn't work with the PWM at 60Hz. Needed 75Hz.

  • Judging the wind by the movement of the trees, I don't know how you were able to fly this thing at all.

  • What is that thing?

    It looks like something you threw together from spare parts?

    Looks extremely hard to fly.

    I've got lots of heli vids on my channel!

    How do you like the tx1?

  • Pretty cool!
