    First time setting up the Zenmuse GH3 Gimbal

    Three things are the issue here, either the Zen isn't talking to the WKM properly (I presume you have this powered up at the same time as the Zen) or it looks like there could be an issue with your Zen's controller. Either that or you have it in reset mode. If it is anything else then I am stumped.

    Zenmuse Z15 5D MARK III

    DJI will tell you not to add things like an ND filter because it will send the gimbal out of balance. However, if you can stick some small weights on the gimbal to re-balance the setup then this should actually be perfectly fine. Clearly if the weight gets too much you will over stress the...

    First time setting up the Zenmuse GH3 Gimbal

    I am thinking that you have yet to plug the Zen into your WKM/A2 by the looks of things. This is required to make it work.

    New Forum Area, DJI Phantom!!

    Purely as an FYI, just be aware that any 5.8 GHz transmitter over 25mw is illegal in the UK. Fines can be hefty if you get caught.

    AlexMos and other brushless gimbal controllers....what is the truth?

    It was very interesting to hear everyone knocking the Movi when it was first announced (because of its price not its performance) but looking at what else is out there that can be relied on to work whenever you turn up for a job without tweaking, its price seems a little more realistic. Give it...

    What software do people use for editing aerial video?

    To me the Adobe Creative Cloud suite is superb as it gives you every tool required not just of AP but also a lot of good tools for running a business such as Acrobat Pro. £38.11 a month it costs for the subscription service (can install it on two computers) which seems pretty fair to me...

    DJI A2 PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU BUY (New firmware may change my opinion)

    If only that were unusual here in good ol' Blighty!

    DJI released iOSD Mark II new firmware V3.0!

    I dont think this will ever happen as this requires a sensor inline with the pos lead from the battery- or at least it does on the mAh measuring telemetry units I have seen. Unless DJI produce a sensor that can plug into the iOSD then I think we have what we have and will dontinue to do so. iOSD...

    Wanted RETRACTS!! Anyone have any?

    I use the S800 retracts on my Rush 750 and they work brilliantly. All you need to do is get an adapter plate made and you are good to go

    Airflow debate

    Very true, very true. Looking at your design above, it looks like it would need minimal hardware in order to build the frame making this one light beast. Perhaps a better idea would be to have the two crossbars in a cruciform formation to stop flexing of the ring in flight?

    Hi.. my first time

    Welcome Aluisio, I hope you find the forum friendly and informative. Dont hold back asking questions even if you think they may be silly- no such thing as a stupid question here.

    Airflow debate

    So is the design of a bike wheel or a bicycle's gearing system but that is because simplicity works well I guess

    Airflow debate

    Interesting idea but as the frame doesn't move symmetrically through the prop disc, the problem is still there? I would be genuinely interested to hear why you think the arm would cause vibes as it is not affecting the blade at all, only the prop wash unless of course you are looking at an X...

    New flyer from Yorkshire

    Haha, UK and USA, two countries divided by a common language. It took me a second to work out why you thought it rhymed but then realized that in the US you guys pronounce shire as it is written (or rhyming with fire or indeed flyer!) when over here it is pronounced more like shur especially in...

    5D Follow Focus

    It seems that the most popular ones are the Redrock Microremote and the RT Motion. The latter is the more expensive but then its quality is better by all accounts. So far though, I have only read about these and not hands on but I did as much looking into as I could and am now awaiting delivery...

    Positive Z axis?

    The clash of cultures I think are the main reason ie in China red is a lucky colour hence why it is positive when normally for us we would associate red with negative. However, as said, the manual and indeed the software provide a very good diagramme so just follow that.

    Panasonic GH3 Users thread

    Hi Dave, I have the 14-42 IOS lens on the camera which has been fantastic. I have also put a filter on it and use the modified GH2 Zenmuse. There is actually a bit more room to tweak the Zen than is often thought. For instance, to get my camera balanced correctly with the filter I had to stick...

    FOXTEChFPV RETRACTS. Any one using them?

    The Droidworx legs look amazing but in my experience I found them to be seriously lacking. They close to quite a narrow base which meant having to align the Cinestar 3 axis gimbal before lowering the legs otherwise they would come into contact with each other. It also doesn't create the most...

    Throttle Direction Switch

    Very curious as to why you wish to do it? This sounds like a recipe for a crash. With that said however I am always open to new ideas or ways of doing things. Simply set up individual throttle curves assigned to different flight modes - look at TX manual on how to do this. Sent from my iPhone...
