With a Lightbridge providing a pwer feed for the GoPro do you need to keep the GoPro battery in the camera or can you save the weight and fly without the battery? I have successfully powered the GoPro without battery and did have a video feed to the Lightbridge. Not sure if there is a reason to...

The 9450 props are a definite improvement at my altitude of 8000 feet for my Phantom 2 + Lightbridge + Gimbal and Gopro. Only had time to do a little testing with one battery but quad is flying and just maybe the throttle issue is cured or much better.

Maybe a Phantom 2 + Lightbridge + gimbal + GoPro is right on the edge of acceptable weight and air density at this altitude. When new props come in that will change one variable and maybe deal with the issue.

Yes last night I found out about these newer props. I ordered some early this morning. Does not I think explain the variability in lift. Sometimes quick snappy lift on throttle up and other times little or no lift even on full throttle. The minimal lift does seem to happen not at the...

According to the Lightbridge OSD, I have had the issue with 45 and 50% on different batteries. I have five batteries. None have been cycled more than twenty times. Lowest I have ever run a battery down to is 23%. At 8000 feet with my configuration the batteries are at about 30% after 11 or 12...

The freefall is likely VRS. VRS was caused by me doing repeated descents straight down as part of some testing I was doing. Let me add another piece to my story. The reason I was doing these vertical descents was I was trying to replicate something else I have experienced with this Phantom 2...

Yes.

I have a Phantom 2 with Lightbridge and a H3-3d. Default Gains except as you suggested ATTI is at 120. Compass is correctly adjusted. All firmware is up to date. RC is a Taranis. I take the Phantom up to 75 or 100 feet with GPS (no less than 8 satellites) hoover for short while then begin to...

Figured it out. Taranis sliders were not properly calibrated.

I am using a slider on my Taranis to control camera tilt on a gimbal. The problem I am having is the full range of tilt happens with only a tiny portion of the slider movement. I have played with weight and offset and worked with curves with no success. How do I adjust the slider so that the...
