    What's the difference between atti mode and Manual?

    In simple terms, in GPS mode your 'joystick' is a speed demand stick ie the further you push it the faster the craft will go. In attitude mode the joystick becomes an 'angle demand' stick ie the further you push it, the greater the angle (there is usually a limit to the angle of 35degreess or...

    HELP! recommendation for best Infrared RC shutter system for Canon DSLR machines.

    This is not an IR remote, it is far better than that as it plugs directly into the AV output port on the Cannon whilst simultaneaously allowing video out. Its called a Camremote 2A and allows much more control over the camera than using an IR remote. http://vp-systems.eu/camremote.html

    dji a2 two purple flashes

    Look at the 2nd post in this thread and read the manual- 2 purple flashes shows the A2 is in GPS mode and that your TX sticks are not centred. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    DJI s1000/zenmuse, really bad support

    Your A2 problem sounds very similar to the ones I have seen here in the UK. DJI are in denial that there is a problem. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    A2 2.2 Upgrade Guinea Pig

    Well, I have dealt with approx 10 or so A2s for various customers (me being one of the customers). All have been at 2.1 firmware and 6 have failed. NOT GOOD. 4 of these ended as crashes (and 2 ended with us landing before catastrophe occurred- I only found out about the 4th today. My tests on...

    Prop balancing question

    For plastic props I agree entirely however with carbon, not so sure. But why take the chance? Sanding on its own is destructive and irreversible. Putting some lacquer on first and sanding fine but sanding on its own? The only advantage I can see to sanding is a cosmetic one ie you don't see any...

    A2 2.2 Upgrade Guinea Pig

    Well guys, I have been ragging the living daylights out of an A2 over the last two days. I built a 550 to use as a test bed (on loan from Heliguy to test A2 resilience) and I have even done 4 docile flights on my Gryphon frame. Yesterday the A2 on the 550 flew perfectly for the first flight and...

    Immediate low battery alarm.

    Have you calibrated the voltage meter in the Assistant software? To do this you need to plug in your battery and connect to the WKM and then in the Assitant software under the voltage tab click on the calibration tool. Use an external voltmeter to read the battery's voltage and then just enter...

    prop balancer

    Thanks for the reply. Well I guess that if my cogging is causing the largest vibes then the prop and the motor bell must be reasonably balanced! What distance should the trial weight be placed from the centre- sorry I can't remember if this is mentioned in the tool as I am not near my set up at...

    A2 2.2 Upgrade Guinea Pig

    Has anyone had problems trying to login on the A2 Iphone assistant app as it keeps telling me that login failed, cannot connect to internet. Funnily enough the phone has a great internet connection?

    F550 heavy Lift Upgrade

    All depends on the point of the upgrade really. Is it to carry heavier, longer or both? What exactly do you hope to gain out of the upgrade? I haven't forgotten about beers either but I have been snowed under but will give you a call soon for a wee dram.

    A2 2.2 Upgrade Guinea Pig

    WKM is a solid FC at the moment in my experience. Whilst I only own 2 MRs and only one with a WKM on, it has been on my workhorse with FW 5.26 on it and it has been faultless. I have built goodness knows how many machines for people with the WKM and it has been very reliable. I have now built 5...

    How many of you are using firmware 5.26 on WKM successfully?

    Ive been flying 5.26 for ages without any issues at all. Fly mainly in GPS mode but often fly Atti too and no problems to report what so ever.
