Yuri: Can you tell me where you mounted your HFG on your AV200? It is on a part of the gimbal that is stationary or a part that moves with pitch and/or roll? And it would seem that there must be a choice in the software setup if you choose one location or the other (fixed position or stable) but...

That is what I would have thought but then when they show this image it seems to contradict this. Also: they state that it should not be mounted near servos so if I can't mount it as they show here, down low on the right, the only other place is up on top and there is a servo and pot right there.

There is one issue that does not seem to be very well addressed with regard to mounting. In fact it seems that they have mis-labeled one of their own pictures. Where it says 'Front right' it should say 'Front left'. In one picture it appears as though the HFG is mounted to a stationary part of...

That is exactly what I was thinking as I am now trying to find a way to mount this board to my gimbal. Also, why would anyone want to have a fragile circuit board exposed to the elements without being in some sort of inclosure. I don't get it.

Great. Why couldn't THEY tell me that?? :) Thanks.

Twister: There is a 'Compass Calibration' feature in the setup software but they do not mention anything about this in the book. Any idea how this works?

Yuri, where did you mount your HFG on your AV200? You're right, it woudl be nice it they provided a little board to use for the mounting. I just happend to have something so I'm okay but I'm not sure where to put it. I was thinking of mounting it on the BACK of the AV200 gimbal, on the right...

Thanks so much for your willingness to help. I was going to buy the same setup you have and then I foolishly let a dealer talk me into this AV200 and the Skyline. Man, that's two months of my life I won't get back! I am just going to try to make the best of it and then move on to your setup...

Twister773... are you by any chance using this with an AV200? I have a new AV200 and I am just trying to set this up for the first time right now. Any tips or critical setting you can share sure would be appreciated. I am using this with a new DJI S800, by the way, but that Skyline almost...

Thanks for commenting on this. While I did download the Setup Client it seems that I also needed to run the Firmware Update Client as well. I ran that and now I got it to connect and upgrade but I am a little confused as to which of these programs I am supposed to use and when. They do not...

Disregard

soundmind: Great. We will look forward to your results. nisouck: I did not know that the DJI props were 15 X 4 so thanks for the warning.

Thanks Thanks for posting your gains. This will be helpful.

Hex Junky: I love your video! Nice work and very encouraging for me. I have an S800 too but I am using a Photohigher AV200 with a Canon 5D Mark 2for stills and my Canon T2i for video. My total weight including 2 5,000 mAh lipos and all ready to fly is the same weight as yours. I have been...

Has anyone tried these props for their S800? You get four props (two pairs) for $60 with shipping included and they are CF... http://www.ebay.com/itm/2Pair-1555-Carbon-fiber-CW-CCW-prop-DJI-S800-Hexrcopter-Octocopter-Quadcopter-/320948969182?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4aba0c9ede Or these...
