With that kind of value (camera + copter) involved, nobody right in his mind would use a castle BEC. Search the net and you will know what I mean. The only BEC I trust is the Herkules : http://helidirect.com/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=Hercules&x=12&y=18 After 20 years beeing in RC...

I had the same problem...but no big deal. Instead of writing for support - which you will never get anyway - I took my dremel, took some material off and bent the mounting stud carefully a little bit to the outside...end of story. I am too long in rc-models and have to fix that kind of thing...

....just stumbled across this one...great

I didn't know that...slowly there is step by step usable information coming in. But at this point I think it's about time to open a dedicateted "S800 experience" thread....

An other option I see is something like this(only the heat sink): I would make it only app. 5~7 mm high and match it exactly to the shape of the ESC and have it rounded at the edges (transport, and risk of scratching your hands while fiddling on the rig). Also the LED's have to be looked...

Just to bring some fun into it....talking about engineers: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXGDRrkaRgU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSEtjtLPREI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZKKrUXjzDY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rp8hvyjZWHs

I had a look to mount the spacers between the the housing and the motormount....but on one side of the motormount is a thin plate to give the motor a little tilt to one direction to compenste for the momentum. Together with the spacer all together that would be to thick to use the original...

I just got some alu spacers made in my workshop and fitted them....I can only test them after the weekend to see if there is any dropping in heat. This is the strangest ESC-desighn I have ever seen....the whole surface of the ESC is covered with something like silikone. There is so little space...

Just found this on the net: http://photoshipone.com/06/djis800-check-red-esc-connector/ Immediately checked mine...found one pin loose... mhhhhhhhhhhh.... THANXX Photoshipone....

It's very simple: ALWAYS use blue Locktite for metal screws to metal holes, actually all metal - to - metal connections. NEVER use blue Locktite to plastic - to - plastic or plastic - to - metal connections. Blue Locktite can only work if in between two metal...

You are right....one could do a lot of things....but that's not the point. If someone is looking at the whole picture with a little distance, he can't do anything than being amazed how well DJI is playing the marketing piano. It started already with the pre-order madness. By offering this...

Hi vislav Have a look at this: http://www.multirotorforums.com/showthread.php?4381-DJI-S800-weight-chart....strange-results

The problem is...DJI doesn't have an Octo in their product range...and they didn't plan one, because the design of the WooKong is not laid out for an Octo....looks like this one is a checkmate for DJI...and I feel sorry for that cause I think all of these products are pretty good for...

That's exactly what I was thinking....just wondering what DJI has to say to this. Now life is getting complicated....apparantly the Zenmuse only works together with the WooKong M...options are: taking the risk...or using the S800 as a fun-copter with a lighter gimbal and a lower level...

Since this ESC's are specifically for the 500X, the factory setting is ferfect ok out of the box....The programming possibilities in the manual is shown for guys who want to change some settings or tweak around a little bit....but I strongly advise you not to fiddle around with this settings...

Hi Mark Glad I could help...there should not be a problem with too much draw since the LED's use very little power...and the pan-servo, where the Y-harness should be connected with the lights will have very little work to do....only tilt and roll servos will be busy all the time to compensate...

Hi I don't have a facebook account (oldfashioned guy) ...but my wife has....I'll let you know in a couple of hours... Cheers

Hello...Sandôr, is that you...I got your propellers today....absolutely perfect....thank you. As far as LiPo's are concerned, there are more discussions about this on the net than good looking women on this planet....but you are right....if going for a 1-LiPo pack set-up, the Maxamps are first...

Hello phatfreddy....glad to hear you became an addict....let's see some GoPro action....especially video footage from the beach racing car.... Good luck Chris

Hello Since there is questions and facts concerning the different weights of the S800 scattered all over the net, I thought I try to get a realistic picture and find out what the story really is. The results are on my table and I might as well post them. PLEASE....if you find any...
