    Take care with the new 2.3 software for A2 Today i crashed my Evo 800 S with Z15

    Well, unless I am being a biff it looks like the logs are goosed as the time doesn't seem to have been logged correctly. Looking at the 029 file, clicking on the elevator input shows nothing due to a messed up time line. If anyone else is seeing something different I would love to know as I have...

    A2 Dilemma

    The failures I have seen have been a real mixture. Using the built in RX, using a native Futaba RX, using an S-BUS adaptor and I am pretty sure that at least one was on a Spektrum but cant remember.

    A2 Dilemma

    Ed the failures are not that the A2 is loosing sat lock although that is sure an indications when things are going wrong. The problem is is that there are too many instances where the aircraft is simply not responding to the pilots commands. This is way bigger than GPS loss. This strikes me as a...

    Likewise, I will have a peep if you can post the log file. Tahoe Ed, this crash seems to have had the exact same symptoms as the crashes I have been looking at in the UK. Can you shed any light on what DJI are doing about this?

    should I shoot video in manual focus?

    Premiere definitely does .mov files, or at least I have never had issues.

    CAA Information Notice - Future requirement for a safety case assessment

    Droider hits the nail on the head. It will be on how you present your safety case. The CAA are currently working on a template that will come out in time for people to write their case to work in urban area and/or at closer proximity to people and property.

    DX8 programming for retractable landing skids

    Well, I cant see anything more than a thumbnail of those photos. You probably need to put a Y cable between the two servos and then put that y cable into the RX on a channel that suits your DX8. In the DX8 make sure you then have the right channel mapped to the right switch and which you do...

    S1000 + 5D3 or GH4 - Mature enough yet?

    Trust me, the failure of the A2 has nothing to do with the airframe. S1000s are just as susceptible as other frames. Of the various A2 failures I have had to deal with most have been on S1000 frames. Just to be clear- I am not saying anything is wrong with S1000s, far from it. What I am saying...

    Hi From York, UK

    Hi Dave and welcome to the forum. I am filming at York's Sports village tomorrow (well early am and mid pm) and I have a 5D3 and GH4. Very happy to chat things through with you if you like if I get a chance between flights. PM Sent

    A2 FC Firmware 2.3 - Here We ALL go Again

    Sleepy C- don't get too comfortable on the A2, my first failure on the A2 came on the 21st flight where the GPS completely failed. My next failure came on the 7th flight which I was able to recover by moving to manual and on landing the motors would not stop- this was no ESC issue. I was also...

    Multicopter pilot wanted

    Please make sure that whoever you use has a 'permission for aerial work' issued from the UK's civil aviation. If they don't have this then they will be flying illegally and thus without valid insurance etc.

    DJI has released its Zenmuse Z15-GH4 (HD) 3-axis HD gimbal stabilization system

    The real surprise will be if it works properly out of the box and doesn't need to wait for the nth firmware update!

    A2 FC Firmware 2.3 - Here We ALL go Again

    That's an easy one- WKM. I presume that the main purpose of your Skyjib is to take photos/video and with that being the case, it is the ability to take this imagery that matters. With that regard, I dont see the A2 offering much at all over the WKM- I can get the same quality imagery using both...

    I am disgusted

    What the FAA are proposing in that document is an alignment of regulations that will clarify model v preofessional use. It is setting the background for the FAA to introduce a system similar to that which is currently working very well in the UK as I see it. I therefore see nothing wrong with...

    A2 FC Firmware 2.3 - Here We ALL go Again

    Dont hope too much Rory, the crash you had on 2.3 sounds exactly like the one I just avoided and we had loads of similar instances on 2.1 as well. One of the DJI guys is currently investigating the cause of my mishap so once I know what the outcome of that is I will keep you posted.
