    F450 Migration to F550

    I'm considering migrating the components (Naza, motors, ESCs, Rx) from my F450 kit to an F550. My kit came with the 2215/905 motors and the 30A OPTO ESCs. As the current kits come with the 2212/920 motor, and the availability of 2215 motors is virtually non-existent, I wonder if combining two...

    California sucks! Video of cop telling me I cant fly in this large open grassy field

    So you were (or attempting) violating the rules? And the cop was just enforcing the rules? Is that it?

    NAZA and Futaba set-up - help needed

    It obviously works. However...from the Naza Quick Start document: 1 Motor Mixer Step1: Set your transmitter into ACROBATIC mode, close any channel mix, then choose your multi-rotor type. NAZA supports Quad-rotor I, X and Hex-rotor I, V Jack

    NAZA and Futaba set-up - help needed

    I've never flown helis, so I'm not familiar with the heli settings on the radio. I was flying airplanes before I got into multis, so for me the transition was familiar---channels 1 - 4, map to Aileron, Elevator, Throttle, & Rudder, respectively. I used the landing gear switch (ACRO) on my...

    NAZA and Futaba set-up - help needed

    I'm flying the F450 Naza kit with my Futaba 9CAP Tx and a Berg 7P Rx. Not sure that will translate to your TX/Rx, but I'd be happy to share any info you think would help. My best recommendation at this point is to first setup a new ACRO model on the Tx and make sure everything is zeroed out...

    If you started again as a beginner - which one?

    Curb, I started with quads just after Christmas. I've been very happy with my DJI F450 Naza kit. It included everything I needed except Tx & Rx (which I already had). Good luck. Jack

    Error code on Naza Assistant

    I got same message after upgrading the firmware. I simply re-calibrated my Tx, and all was well. There was a re-set of the power to the MC in there somewhere---can't remember if it was before or after the re-cal. Jack

    DJI F450 "batwing" camera bracket

    Novel idea. Did you consider bolting it on vs. tie-wraps? How about some video from its use. Jack

    Hard Mounting GoPro / Point and shoot camera to F450

    Mine is attached the same as Rob's and I get enough vibration to cause the unwanted "jello effect." In addition, the props remain in the field of view, which I'd like to eliminate. I used one of the GoPro flat adhesive mounts attached to one of the tabs on the Flame Wheel's bottom plate...

    Newbie question about camera gimbals

    So does this diagram represent to correct connections for hooking up a gimbal? In my case, I'm using a Futaba 9CAP Tx where Channel 5 is a 2-position toggle and Channel 7 is a rotary knob. Where: Rx Channels 1-4 are aileron, elevator, throttle, & rudder---connects to Naza A, E, T, & R Rx...

    Newbie question about camera gimbals

    Thanks for the video, Gunter. Where do you have the two gimbal servos (roll & pitch) connected? Are they plugged into the Naza F1 & F2 ports? If so, how do you map the pitch servo to a channel on the Rx (hence a knob on the Tx)? Looks like maybe I connect port X1 on the Naza to the...

    Some GoPro Stills

    Even though not taken from a multi, I thought you might enjoy seeing some great stills taken by a GoPro in flight. I find the image quality to be excellent. This inspires me to pursue more stills from my quad/GoPro combo----but not at that altitude...

    Which prop balancer?

    Any tips on keeping the DJI props (with the oblong hole for the DJI motor shafts) centered when placing them on a balancer shaft? My balancer (like most) has two cones that slide on the shaft to secure the prop. The oblong hole on the top of the DJI 10x4.5 prop hub prevents the cone on that...

    Newbie question about camera gimbals

    Now you've got me confused. I don't see how you can control the gimbal's pitch manually AND automatically through the FC. If the FC is going to control pitch & roll, don't both the gimbal servos need to be connected to the FC? If so, how do you connect the pitch servo to a knob (i.e., another...
