    H3-2D gimbal users - how to improve on control?

    I've been using the H3-2D gimbal on a F550 and a Phantom 2. Generally very good at stabilistation but there's a couple of things I'd like that I can't get. 1- Removal of twitchy Yaw / rudder movement. While I'm flying I don' t seem to notice it but when I watch footage later, shots are spoilt...

    Landing gear spares

    I got some cheap landing gear recently for an F550 off eBay. Seemed pretty good and light until I slammed it hard a couple of times. Now both semi circle legs have snapped in the middle. Do spares exist for these? I would be happy to carry on using and breaking if the legs only could be...

    Phantom 2 vs F550

    I've been flying the Phantom2 and F550 for a few weekends now and getting the hang of things. One thing puzzling me is that the Phantom seems better than the F550. It is lighter and so more agile, it flies easily for 17minutes plus loaded with gimbal, goPro and FPV transmitter. The F550 seems to...

    Lost then found: Lessons to learn here... Video link

    Inexperienced but Impatient to fly I made a few mistakes. Lost my now very expensive F550 with everything on board but happily reunited after 48 hours. I flew in a very strong wind, but it did very well. When the battery ran out I switched to a battery that wasn't fully charged. I was using a...

    DJI Ground Station and red led on BTU

    Recently acquired a DJI GS package which worked just enough to have a play with the settings (didn't get to the field). It kept disconnecting and now won;t connect at all. Red LED on the BTU component. (BTU works fine plugged directly into the NAZA. There is talk elsewhere of a firmware update...

    Phantom 2 CSC commands. Is this normal?

    I've flown an F550 a few times with a NAZA-2 controller and recently had a brief go on a Phantom-2. I had everything ready to go and planned to start up and then turn off. CSC to turn on CSC to turn off. So that meant, simultaneously, left stick to bottom left, right stick to bottom right. All...

    I think I've ruined my first Lipo

    I've read all the warnings and tips but I didn;t seem to prevent me from trashing a Lipo it seems. I have 2 4S 5000 lipos, both of which I had at 'storage level'. I then used them at that level to do some settings, bench work. One plugged into the NAZA + Gimbal airframe, the other running a...

    Gimbal calibration problem - H3-2D

    I've set up my H3-2D gimbal. connected to NAZA and all working fine except the dial - P1 isn't calibrated very well. If I move the pot through it's full sweep the movement of the gimbal occurs between about 15-50% I've done the X1 calibration on the PC but don;t know what more settings there...

    Dual camera, dual broadcast

    Hi there, looking to add the FPV part of my setup shortly. Tell me if I'm wrong here but I imagine the best FPV set up for filming is one person flying the aircraft with basic camera facing out front, using goggles. Next, a cameraman is watching a monitor linked to a second camera, say a GoPro...

ELE won't go past...

    My FPV shopping list. Is it good to go?

    Here's my kit list for FPV. I'm looking to fly by googles and have an additional monitor for camera partner to look at. This kit seems a bit thin on parts but supposedly it's all included but I might be missing something. 1. Goggles: Fatshark Attitude...

    Which micro-quad for practice?

    I have tried unsuccessfully with 2 Q-BOTs BNF - Both duds and unable to bind with my Turnigy 9x. I'd like to get a microquad that can bind with my Tx some I'm practicing with the same Tx as my main Hex, plus I'm not doubling up on unnecessary hardware. Can anyone recommend a good low cost...

    Q-BOT micro copter - Cannot get it working. Second purchase

    Has anyone used a Q-BOT microcomputer and managed to get it working? I bought one from Hobbyking and simply could not get it to work / bind. The transmitter module had 2 Red LED lights that would not change at all, regardless or pressing the central button. I sent it back and got another via...

    What is a waypoint licence?

    Tried googling this but no idea what the 'licence' part is, what it does, why it's needed. I see it mentioned in some DJI ground station packages and not in others. Can anyone explain please?!

    Mixing different motors types on multicopter

    Can I mix different brands of motors? I'm flying a DJI F550 with stock DJI motors. I have to replace one of my 6 motors and have seen one for half the price of the DJI stock motors. The current motors I have are DJI 2212 / 970Kv which sell for around £20 each. Another brand, Emax 2213, is...

    Understanding NAZA low voltage settings

    Hi there, 2nd flight now. 2 time I nearly destroyed my lovely F550. The reason being the low voltage warning seemed to kick in very early. At 16v when the alert was set for 15.5. I'm assuming the difference is the 'loss'. I add that to the setting to allow it to kick in a little later? Maybe...

    Turnigy 9x with NAZA2 - Do I need firmware hack?

    I'm really struggling to understand how to programme all the different options for the NAZA-2. The 9x has loads of nobs and switches but being able to assign things easily seems very difficult with manuals written for people who have been in the scene already for a long time - or maybe I'm being...

    Battery basics

    I've read a number of threads with do's and dont's for LiPo but still have a few questions... I have a brand new 4S 5C battery. When I plug it into a charger it says 1: 50%, 2: 44%, 3:56%, 4:61% I assume this is the current storage of the battery and is in a middle 'storage' level. So do I...
