What camera are you intending to use? There is a bit of a difference for a GoPro gimbal v one that carries a DSLR. Do you want 3 axis or 2 axis?

+1 to 6 flashes on start up

If it flies it vibrates and there is only so much you can do. You need to be holistic about this and if you have done all you can do to reduce vibes then there is nothing wrong in changing the mounting pad- look at all solutions. Changing pads in not necessarily a band aid approach at all...

With my octo when I changed from wooden to carbon props and changed the motors I had a bad wobble. Despite balancing the blades meticulously, it seemed that I had changed the resonant frequency of the aircraft and now I was getting bad vibes through to the IMU. So, I changed the mounting pad of...

You do have the Zen plugged into the WKM?

Although manual says flick from manual to GPS 6-10 times, my blue light only shows after I have flicked 10 times. Also, check in your mode switch in the TX is calibrated properly using the WKM Assistant software

Doh, sorry, probably led you astray a bit as my Zen is a GH2 modded to a GH3 so not sure about the new GH3 version. Apologies!

Its limited

Droidworx do battery plates for the Skyjib. Get one of these and you have the perfect mounting place for an IMU

A couple of things. Firstly, vibes can have some quite interesting effects on the system. Now that you have changed the arms, you have also changed resonant frequencies, frequency damping characteristics etc. So, try a different location for the IMU or a different mounting pad for it and see how...

The Jeti radio is all about substance over style in my opinion. One of the things I love about it is that I have a genuine dual redundant comms link with it which actually gives me 4x RF paths to the aircraft. If one of my RXs fails completely then the other RX kicks in immediately. Plinigboot's...

The gimbal is the most important bit of the whole setup in my mind. I have both a Cinestar 3 axis and the Z15-GH2 with the GH3 conversion. I will fly the Z15 whenever possible as the footage from it is just that much better. Get the retractable legs and you have no issues with not being able to...

If that's your attitude to safety then your credibility is out of the window. Not that big a deal being hit by a 600? Wow, that thing can easily kill.

You of course assume that these guys did not get in touch with the FAA before shooting to find out about any constraints or ask permission etc.

Hence why I was wondering if there is an issue with the PDB

Switches on a Phantom are relatively easy but doing one for a heavy lift octo that can be pulling a constant 100A plus is another ball game!

The SPS is the dogs doodahs. If it fails, it fails to on rather than off so even a mid air failure ensures your flight will continue unhindered. I have one on my 600 and 700 heli AND my Skyjib 8 HL. Awesome bits of kit.

The demand to gain height quickly will have caused a voltage drop as the battery tries to meet the demand. This has either caused the low voltage protection to kick in or worse, because you have a soldered PDB, the high current has caused a problem there. If you are going to solder your wires...

You can certainly downgrade from 5.26 to 5.20 and I know you can downgrade from 5.20 to 5.18 so there should be no reason why you cannot downgrade direct. If it asks for you email, they give it, or if you havent registered an account with DJI do so, then add your email address and then...

A very good point and one which is often overlooked unless your client is providing the photographer in which case you are supplying the aircraft plus piloting skills. The best aerial business will have a pilot from a piloting background and a photographer from a photagraphic background. Loads...
