    Vaavud Wind Meter - Kickstarter Project

    Alternatively check out this https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/wind-meter/id306375551?mt=8 Works with iphone but without any hardware, it just uses the sound of the wind coming off your mic, I also kitesurf a lot and I use this app frequently. It is reliable and I do not need to remember to...

    Shipping my Lipo batteries from UK to Australia (20ft container)

    Well mine are packed and shipped now, I used a Al box with sand as described, I dried the sand out first after borrowing this from a kids play area!! (sorry kids, but I don't think you will notice the loss) Batteries were put in lipo bags first followed by a plastic bag and buried in the...

    S800 Limitations

    I lost a prop on my Tarot 680 with a 550D and photohigher gimbal, granted the multicopter was not very high at the time 3m, but I was still able to hover and bring it down gently.

    Shipping my Lipo batteries from UK to Australia (20ft container)

    I have the same issue, but returning to the UK. Packing up this weekend. My plan was to put them in the shipping container. My next question is that most of these batteries are made in China how do they ship these to the US and Europe. I doubt that they use air freight as this would be...

    TAROT 3axis Gimbal Stabilization System

    The power distribution is it the photo attached, it is a small PCB that bolts into the bottom of the frame, no modification needed. I did buy this extra but it was only $1. Much easier than making a power distribution plate yourself. The Tarot 680 Fly's very well, it is stable and really...

    TAROT 3axis Gimbal Stabilization System

    This is my setup for using this gimbal controller with S.Bus and Naza. I have a second cam on board for FPV and using a Cannon 550D for Video and pictures. It is more complicated than needed only because I could not seam to program the ZYX-GS to use other channels on the S.BUS system, if...

    NAZA gimbal servo setup

    I never actually flew with it but that was my concern that the legs were too close together and it was quite high. You could extend the three 10x10 section bars or change the angle on the legs to make it a bit more stable.

    NAZA gimbal servo setup

    This is the link to the photohigher clone http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=17292142120 For the gimbal only it is about 280US$ but they also sell the 360 pan, legs and modified servos etc. There are two differences to the photo higher but nothing major It comes with one external POT for the...

    TAROT 3axis Gimbal Stabilization System

    Hi Helloman, I am using Naza for the flight controller with the ZYX-GS for Gimbal control (the naza will not do 360 degree rotation on the servos without external pots). I am also flying the Tarot 680 Hexa but I did buy a PCB for it for power distribution, bolts in nicely and makes the...

    NAZA gimbal servo setup

    Thank you for the update, I too found it a little heavy and the roll axis too slow, I ended up sending it back and getting a photohigher clone which is performing much better. I did like the landing gear of this system as they do also sell retractable legs. Did you have any issues with it...

    NAZA gimbal servo setup

    TriHokie, How did you get on with that gimbal? I have a look at it but I was concerned about the speed of the roll axis. Thanks

    TAROT 3axis Gimbal Stabilization System

    Just got this and now I am playing with the setup. I am using this on a photohigher AV 130 Gimbal, with just a Go Pro it seams fine but with the Cannon 550D I get a lot of wobble on the tilt axis. One question I have is regarding the use of S.Bus with the Tarot and my FC. I have a S.Bus...

    Motors Jittering at ~10rpm After Arming, no throttle control

    Now it seams that in shorting the motors one or two may be damaged, They do not seam to spin up like before and on take off it seams motor 4 is giving very little lift and motor 5 is getting very hot.

    Motors Jittering at ~10rpm After Arming, no throttle control

    Hi All, Well I got the new ESC (only ordered 1 to check) and the problem continued. Then I took the motors off the mounting plates and everything worked!! Must have been shorting out the motors as the screws were too long. I really did not expect that to happen, i would have thought that...
