It really sounds like a wire got crossed somewhere - the rating on the ESCs appears fine to me for your batteries. I once accidentally crossed the wires when I was plugging in a battery and resulted in a fire and burned myself bad (got rid of those connectors), so that would explain the fire...

Actually giving up the S-bus and camera control with the WKM is probably a good thing in the long run because if we ever upgrade to a 360 gimbal the WKM flight controller would not compensate properly anyway (it would assume the gimbal was always facing the front), with a 360 gimbal, an...

Yes indeed, the potential problem could have been the S-Bus converter (not s-bus itself). If you use the converter with Spektrum or other receivers without S-bus connections, this will free up the ports on the WKM FC for camera control otherwise those ports are used up to control an octo...

A while back I reported that I had given up on the WKM - it had crashed for the 3rd time. It had flown fine for the first 10 seconds after it was built the first time but then it went out of control on each rebuild. Not cheap replacing motor mounts and arms on our Droidworx ADH8. Well, I...

The more stable descents are probably due to the new firmware - that is suppose to be one of the improvements with the new firmware. I wonder if the calibration stuck around from the last time you did it.

Baker55, I asume you are using a GoPro - you can get a different lens (I think it is Sunex or something like that you can install and it pretty much eliminates the lens distortion) - check the discussion forums many people have made that change.

Baker55, nice image but this would have been enhanced without lens distortion. Some images are enhanced with lens distortion but this kind of shot is not - just my perspective.

I just took my Droidworx Octo HL for another test flight and crashed for the 3rd time in as many test flights - broke two arms and misc components. I can't afford to repair it again. I have spent months rebuilding from the ground up after the last crash, recalibrated and programmed the Maytech...

I have had trouble getting altitude hold to work as well - it seems to either slowly come down or slowly go up - depending on the gain setting. It seems difficult to get it dialled in correctly.

Same problem here. Using the setup assistant, I tried putting a level on the frame as well as on the gimbal at the same time and that helped (there was probably some play between the frame and gimbal). This helped and it basically held horizonal until the 3rd flight and then it was off again...

i just got my Mini HDMI2AV - I don't see any power specs. I already have a 3S battery powering my Vtx, could that be used directly to power the mini converter box? Alternatively, could you directly connected it to a 2S battery at 7.4 V? ...or would you need to step it down to 5V? What...

Congrats - I have the same setup but I am jinxed. Every time I go to try I have some kind of problem and have to order a new part - last attempt I had a bad Rx. It is normal to have wobble if you bring it down too fast; between coming down through its own wash and the props have slowed down to...

I think you probably could program those stick tip switches to do that - those can be programmed like any other switch. However, in our case we use a separate transmitter to control camera tilt and the cameras are set to shoot continously - either through CHDK or continuous shooting with a...

<tbody> I was initially attracted to the DX 10t because it was a tray style platform since I use fingers to adjust the sticks and because it had some unique features that looked promising for doing aerial video. Plus I thought it looked cool (there is no accounting for taste). This review...

That adapter I suggested is suppose to work but better not take my word for it - I am having trouble getting my ship stable in the air so you never know the source of the problem. However, in theory it should work with any regular transmitter. That is what I was told, so this is second hand...

No experience myself with that. Folks report mixed results flashing the firmware - could be good - could be disasterous - I opt to stay on the safe side and use the firmware as is.

My Spektrum 10t should be here next week and will report on its functionality once I get it setup and tested. To use with WK-M Ocoto with gimbal control, I used this adapter and use the S-bus: http://www.snhobbies.com/product_info.php?products_id=3610&osCsid=b9c8a9694febfc1bb986387bb307d3a2

I am a bit naive when it comes to servos pots - could someone explain what those are used for and how one goes about adjusting those and why you would want to do that.

Try descending slower. There is the wash affect from the props that you are descending through but also the stability goes down once the props aren't going fast enough to have lift.
