Filmed yesterday with my 680. I wasn't watching my battery voltage on the first run and barely made it back to shore.

That's typical. They do make CW and CCW shafts like you mentioned but not all manufacturers offer them. You usually see them in the higher speed motors for racing quads. You definitely want to use a "nylock" style locking nut or something to that affect. I have a hex that's the same way and have...

I couldn't say for sure but it sounds like its just what you say and it was just a bad solder job.

If its just a one off job for something you need done feel free to contact me. I would love to help you out or see if I can direct you to someone who could.

It sounds like you have proved its the ESC. Hard to say why it failed, doesn't necessarily mean it was anything you did. The tuned propulsion systems that DJI offers are nice because everything comes in a matched package ready to go.

The write up makes it look like the greatest thing ever. No way to tell if it does what they say it does. Kind of pricey, no reviews, you go first.

Sounds really cool. I'm working that weekend but would be interested in seeing what you get.

My flight manual for the Tarot 680 is complete. 21 pages and 3700 words. I'm glad I kept up my momentum and pushed myself to get through this. Now that I have it I can use the body of it for my heavy lift although it will still be a lot of work to switch it over because of all the differences in...

Yep, That part only totaled about 1 and a half pages. If things go well I will never need to show my flight manual to another person, if things go badly and the FAA comes knocking I will have a pretty good manual and my bases covered, hopefully.

So I am up to 19 pages and 3300 words. I still have my general warnings and precautions and the maintenance section left. It hasn't been too bad so far. I didn't skimp but I didn't go full bore and include every single little thing I could think of either. A couple pages are only 1/4 full and a...

I'm interested in seeing what you come up with.

I found a general outline for a flight manual on the internet and am using it. Here's my table of contents page. Actually once you get going its really pretty easy. Of course I'm only at the beginning and it will get tougher as I get to the maintenance, emergency procedures etc. Once I get this...

Eh.. I liked the old multirotors forum better but the only real thing that changed is the look of the page. I'm slowly getting used to the new look and don't have anything negative to say. I will say the moderators seem fine and things are starting to pick up. I like hanging out here and...

The short answer is yes you can switch, but... you will have to setup and configure your spectrum so it works properly. I had a spectrum and switched to a taranis. I never really got comfortable and had a crystal clear understanding of my spectrum. I got it to work perfectly by following you...

My main multirotor is a Tarot 680 with a DJI Naza M V-2 and a go pro hero 3 black and a Zenmuse gimbal. I also have a Tarot 960 that is awaiting a gimbal, it will carry a Sony Nex 7. I have a F450 that I haven't flown in a long time and a mini quad racer that I built but I'm not really into the...

Look up F550 on youtube or flamewheel 550 Its a (hexacopter)or possibly even F450 (quad). You can go to the DJI web page and see if there are specs listed. This is one of the easier and affordable builds out there. I have seen kits go for $200 or less. The building of the multirotor will be the...

Look on craigslist etc for an 8 ch radio, you should be able to pick up one cheap or you can get a cheapo hobby king one but I wouldn't know what kind of quality they are. A brand new taranis is about $200 and its a good radio. I don't think you cant get GPS data tagged on photos from DJI equipment.

I was impressed with what DJI claims it can do but time will tell if it lives up to it. It looks like it has some really useful flight modes for aerial filming but I was under the impression there were no options for the camera. It was 4k but stock besides that. So if its just light camera/film...

Well I cant say for sure because I don't have first hand knowledge but you may want to check out the pixhawk.
