And deep pockets!!!! At about £600 per prop/motro x8 that is an expensive rig but then the performance is pretty out there.

Pretty much every job I have had to do has involved flying well over 200m away and often out to the 500m limit. Worst was flying a red 300-400m out over the North Sea in 20mph offshore winds- definitely not a day to even contemplate manual.

Personally I don't like removing anything as you just don't know what you have taken out or what this does to the prop's structural integrity. I just use a bit of electrical tape over the leading edge. Never comes off and is really easy to do. With all that said, Im not sure if top or bottom...

Then it is only a question of when not if.....I could have said exactly the same about the pilot in the shop but it happened to him eventually so why risk it? What happens when your friend goes over 150m away, does he flip into attitude at that point? If there was a big advantage in manual over...

Hi Droider, we have certainly been having issues with the A2s as well. A 550 kit has just arrived this morning which I will hopefully put together over the weekend. The idea is to put an A2 on it and rag the living day lights out of it to test each and every firmware update until DJI can produce...

If you use your 'Device Explorer' on you Jeti and then select your receiver, you can programme the receiver to go to predefined settings on each channel so some could go to plain and simple off, some to 'hold' and some to lets say 58%

That is just awesome ie click on the video for the gimbal and getting 'An error has occurred, please try again later'. This sums up DJI's products to perfection.

So why did DJI put on an anti spark device on the S1000?

Hi Mark, I have been trying to balance my motors and props using the Dynex. Two issues. It seems that no matter what tiral weight I use I always get a report saying that it is too heavy or too light, even if I use the trial weight tool- any ideas what I might be doing wrong? Secondly, I can get...

What are the details of your system- A2, WKM, Naza? What firmware? What's your airframe etc

The idea of combining both the video and the control over one link is very sound. What isn't so sound is DJI's record in implementing equipment fit for the market rather than fit for the public beta testers out there. For that reason alone I wouldn't touch the Lightbridge with a barge pole until...

Well, I have set up about 6 A2 systems or so. Just pointed the compass directly to the front of the aircraft and flies arrow straight and no toilet bowl effect, whereas with the Wookong I had to align manually. So, whilst the manual doesn't mention anything specific I am pretty sure it sorts...

Here's my take. Manual should be learnt as it improves you as a pilot and it gives you another option when things go wrong. However, when ever I am out professionally I NEVER fly in manual even though I can fly in that mode without thinking about it (I have flown single rotors for years doing 3D...

Interesting question and definitely a solid approach to choosing a battery. However, Lipo chemistry is pretty much....lipo chemistry and I don't think you get much of a noticeable difference in energy density. You do definitely get a difference in quality of electrolyte, cathodes and anodes etc...

Its just another way to progress I suppose and it gave me a flying target to aim for.

My very first batteries for my Octo were Maxamps. They say they are rated at a genuine 40C or something like that. The problem with that though was that whilst every other manufacturer uses the constant discharge rate for their C ratings (sometimes both eg 25C/50c), Maxamps use the peak for...
