The S1000 gimbal mount rails are suspended from the frame by rubber isolators. The ZenMuse GH3 comes with its own set of rubber isolators. So the question is, do you use both sets of isolators or mount the ZM GH3, bypassing its isolators, directly to the 4 brackets already fitted to the S1000...

I am the construction side of Zaxis. I don't fly, just build. Its been a wild ride from our first Mikrokopter, thru Droidworx Y6, X8, TBS Disco and their rebuilds over the past 3 years. Inventing things as I went along, servo driven home built gimbal, LED drivers and rigs and so on. Figuring out...

Once in a while you have an experience that brings a smile to your face, I just had one. We needed a DJI S1000 for an upcoming job and they are near impossible to find 'in stock', they're all pre-sold. A sweep of UK dealers confirmed this until I talked to Kings Lynn Model Shop. They were just...

We have a skyjib x4 running gh3 zen and kopterworx k10 motors. we usually run this on gens ace 5800 45c batts but are struggling to find stock of new ones. Gens ace have 6000 25c rated batts that are available & the question is a) has anyone had any experience with the slightly lower c rated...

We just had a bad experience with our X8. Switching to Go Home sent the craft into wild tumbling and we were unable to regain control. Luckily the crash landing was in tall grass and the only damage was a broken leg. Droidworx build them tough. Thanks to many responses from forum members and...

We have been in the final stages of testing a new SJ X8 build running original wookong with 5.26 firmware. Flew a number of packs through it in all modes & it was performing beautifully up until the failsafe test. It raised to 20m nice and smoothly then when it started its turn for home it went...

This is really cool .... then watch these... I want to buy one ! andy

The BBC really seem to be going overboard on drone stories. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-24762835 or DJI's PR department have found a new friend ? Tip of an iceberg ? I worry it is. andy

Simple question... Does the Jeti SAT1/2 connections on a R18 receiver allow you to connect a DJI A2 flight controller using ppm ? andy

Continuing my X4 build I've come to tidying up the wiring and the messiest bits are the ferrite rings on the KopterWorx 60A ESCs. Are these really necessary with DJI WKM flight controllers? There's eight of them and the ferrites take up a fair amount of the limited space under the dome. If they...

I am well into a Droidwrox X8 build and intend to use their recommended arm folding arangement for transport. This involves removing the outer boom fittings and pivoting the arms on the inner ones so they lay along side each other. Coaxial craft really do require almost perfect vertical...

As noted on the Show What You Filmed thread, Droider Dave has been involved with a BBC production 'Harvest' . From their web site I got this link, have fun trying to spot the drone. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p01f144b/features/pano-vegetables andy

DJI A2 released http://www.dji.com/product/a2/ Here we go again ! andy

Coming from the Mikrokopter camp we used it's built in telemetry to monitor battery capacity in mAh to judge flight times. With DJI FC we have lost this functionality but want to find an alternative. You can buy current telemetry modules for Spektrum, Jeti and the like. These will monitor...

When it comes to keeping motor leads tidy inside the arms, what are the pros and cons of weaving the three leads together ? Discuss. andy

We have just mounted the new H3 go_pro gimbal on our TBS frame. Using the new Naza V2 has anyone else noticed the extremely long windup speed when motors start? On ours they fire up then there is no increase in power untll the throttle stick goes over 50%, they then wind up to liftoff speed...
