    Align Multicopter Align M480L has arrived ....

    Hopefully the new 16v voltage booster for the gimbal will help. The FW & software update for the gimbal pulled the rug out from my tuning it, as I was getting somewhere, then ended up fitting it to my S900 for a flight test as my z15 didn't arrive. Surprisingly on a 12v UBEC supply on the s900...

    Align Multicopter Need help with usb connection to new Align 690 for setup..

    From the responses I have had to the post I put on FB about an Align section on here, I think most people would like it Bartman (thus far I've not had any negative responses, they all semm to say 'hell yes'!). Nothing from Jeff Fassbinder as yet but it is still the weekend, & this would be his...

    Align Multicopter Need help with usb connection to new Align 690 for setup..

    I would suggest you join the Align Facebook multicopter group. Align's head marketing bloke Jeff Fassbinder is a mod as are several of the factory beta testers & a lot of early adopters like myself. If you have any issues there is a wealth of knowledge on there. Sadly the manuals are not...

    Correct. You have to power the APS-M for USB to connect

    WKM, S900 (7kg), gaining altitude on yaw in atti, & GPS stop.

    Thanks for the info Ben. Had 2 perfect flights this morning. Only changes I made were thicker/softer gyro tape under IMU, & 1cm vertical change of IMU in asst. Either that or it was my frozen thumbs ;-)

    WKM, S900 (7kg), gaining altitude on yaw in atti, & GPS stop.

    Ok cheers. I'll ring Heliguy on Monday & chat to their tech's. I don't really want to swap it as just submitted amended Ops to EuroUSC changing aircraft & don't want the beggars charging me another £114 to review it again!

    WKM, S900 (7kg), gaining altitude on yaw in atti, & GPS stop.

    Cheers. Had a look & adjusted IMU position in asst slightly (measured to centre of its box as per dji faq) trouble is its 3cm tall & asst only does full cm's. Do you find IMU v2 flies any different to the v1 I have been supplied with this brand new WKM? Does it only make a difference to over...

    WKM, S900 (7kg), gaining altitude on yaw in atti, & GPS stop.

    Gps position spot on CoG & measuremnt correct. IMU in stock position but do you measure to centre of case or front & bottom or top of it?. Radio is Futaba 14SG with no mixes, only switchable expo levels & end points on elev, rudder & aileron to fly slowly for smooth video. No errant mixing...

    WKM, S900 (7kg), gaining altitude on yaw in atti, & GPS stop.

    Hi & thanks Ben. 3-5 metres altitude gain, certainly more than the 2m envelope. It hovers fine, rock solid but as soon as you put any rudder input in, even very gently it's like lifting the throttle at take off. It's also losing a good couple of metres in initial forward flight. It seems a lot...

    WKM, S900 (7kg), gaining altitude on yaw in atti, & GPS stop.

    Hi there, Just wondering what FW version & gains people are using, if they get chance to look. I'm getting a lot of altitude gain on yaw when flying a square (in atti) & turning on the spot at the corners. Also in GPS when I stop to hover it's doing it as well esp nose/tail into a headwind...

    DJI announces support for Micro Four Thirds standard

    It would be really nice to see a pro level, 4k, lightweight 'all in 1 MFT gimbal camera' with options on glass to fit the S900.

    Align Multicopter First Experience with Align G3 Gimbal on a Skyjib

    That's because the BMPCC camera doesn't output enough voltage on its HDMI natively. There is a mod on FB that one guy has done adding a small battery pack onto the HDMI/gimbal & also to the converter board to get it to work.

    Align Multicopter First Experience with Align G3 Gimbal on a Skyjib

    Don't start me off on this....argh. I've been all round the houses with it. Like you say, set it up on the bench to work fine, fly it & it looks crap. Align's suggested gains are fekkin ridiculous if you ask me. Like you I tried them. The 30deg up tilt max envelope is so easily hit, even in...

    Align Multicopter First Experience with Align G3 Gimbal on a Skyjib

    Hi Quinton, I think you are not the only one thinking that this gimbal needs a lot of time/effort/testing to get usable. I take it you have been following the trials & tribulations on FB?? as this seems to be the best source of information at the minute. I myself have found all the suggested...
