Now that I think this through, it seems to me that one has to consider that this is sunny day and seasonal work (as is most photography occupations) such that there will be days with no field and airtime money coming in...... $3200 per full day is extremely realistic with this costly equipment...

nnevonyjr.... As you are an engineer you likely have made it this far due to your diligence and thoroughness which are critical for flying an MR without serious incidents. You have come to the right place for additional help beyond what is provided by your dealer, DJI documents, online videos...

Excellent..... give me a sense of hope........which WKM firmware are you using and where is your IMU positioned? BTW - Here is my custom 800mm Hex c/w GoPro on brushless gimble in gusty conditions....... buckaroo bonzai.... My IMU is mounted top dead center but maybe the props are exacerbating...

Seems to make some sense but I am almost scared to try now...... check out my aerial video here. Wind was light but quite gusty..... you can hear the motors suddenly surging multiple times and the altitude changing randomly multiple times. The during the RTH there are some big...

Here in Canada one can work with Marsh Canada Insurance for commercial activities. MAAC only work for RC flying at safe designated flying sites under specific condition. UAV insurance will work elsewhere when one is doing commercial work..... in between is no-mans land!!!!

I have not tried 4xx Mhz spectrum to date but may I suggest you also consider potential amateur radio licensing constraints and or ensure you are HAM radio licensed if you need to operate in the free and clear licensed radio spectrum(s). Now if you can get the frequencies of choice in FHSS...

Pricing and details corrected....... (this pkg contains the NAZA V1 with the firmware upgraded to V2 then fully flight tested with all functions including RTH, IOC, remote gains control and gimbal control including pitch......see additional tabulated breakdown....... the retail price for this...

One more question if you don't mind...... After taking the raw footage do you do your own video editing/post processing or contract that out to others?

Considering the very professional level of your equipment, service and the uphill climb with TC with all the initial SFOC paperwork..... this looks like a lot of hard but also rewarding work......Is your daily rate for one worker or a two man team?

Althought 5.2 fw seems to work perfectly when there is no wind or a stable breeze, my MR surges very hard in gusty winds (less than 12 mph). When testing RTH..... the MR can regain altitude multiple times and will take a very long time to come down.... then when it lands itself with my RC...

Be careful when switching back and forth between remote gain adjustment and testing the RTH function........ especially if you play around with the RC gimbal adjustments.....

You can still fly in attitude mode and LOS. Start with a close read of the DJI documentation.... I think it says something about GPS limitations above the arctic circle........Closer examination seems to indicates that GPS accuracy is greatly deteriorated there due to radio signal path bending...

Queen of England gave you permission? GCS waypoint goto coordinates: 37 25.818N and 122 05.36W Spreading Wings in front of Spreading Wings......!!!

Calculation methods are simple in concept but burns up time and are prone to calculation errors.....I just use a string... Once the MR is lifted and remains level in each of the two planes (horizontal then vertical), you have the COG for each plane. Then the common COG is the midpoint between...

Yes.... the point of reference becomes the GPS module such that the controller, i.e., Naza or WKM is below the GPS and therefore the z value is negative.

Thanks for your excellent feedback....... You are correct..... unless one has prior Arduino opensource code experience, it is not worth the time and effort to fix the Martinez.... which remains a work in progress..... not yet ready for international marketing...... shame on RCTimer for not...

The landing gear is the original DJI w/o retracts which is still available from RCTimer. There is a specific new version just for RCT800 but the only difference is the removal of two top pieces and replacement with nylon threaded pins. I suggest one purchase the S800 version and set the extra...

Here are a couple of photos and a video from Youtube..... Re: MR wobble..... looking back it might have been possible to reduce or eliminate MR wobble with the 690KV motors by reducing prop dia and/or pitch. That would have enabled better speed response with the limited torque but would reduce...

If you read the DJI documentation it states that the PMUs need to be mounted to allow for good air circulation. These contain voltage regulators and have short leads so they have to be in the MR hub. Motors, ESCs and batteries can also get warm or hot. If the ESCs and motors are located together...

Further clarifications..... this item does not include the RC transmitter..... if you buy c/w the provided FrySky receiver you will need to use an 8 channel or higher Futaba RC Tx.If you buy it without the receiver you can do as you please..... e.g., use a complete Spectrum RC system. I am very...
