I had a look at your post, many thanks Good to hear you are getting good results with yours (a 5D?). Have you stuck with suggested/stock gains? As half the suggestions on gains from Align are useless for a GH4 with Olympus 12mm IMHO

I keep doing a bit. Then flying watching the video realising there are wobbles/twitches tweaking a bit...getting there slowly. You can have it looking fine on the bench or in hand & find the aerial video isn't anything like as good.

The telemetry stuff is nice on that, but the stick/yoke didn't seem to move much in flight & they didn't use the head tracking in flight either so it only gets a 8/10 from me Jake ;-)

Amazing stuff!

Same as I am trying to get the gimbal to tune to give anything like stable footage from the gh4, but there you go. Early adopters always end up working out the bugs :-(

The 12v port is to power the gimbal, say on a 3rd party frame or handheld rig. The 5.8v from the s-bus port I use to power an Rx mounted on the gimbal

No problems with the HDMI video out from my GH4, it powers up whenever I switch the camera on & stays on. It's slightly annoying as it draws current from the camera battery, & if you want to review video on the camera screen it won't let you as the camera is doing a live feed, so you end up...

Yup & you can have pretty much any combination of shape (hex, quad, coax-quad etc & convert some fairly easily if you decide to change), motors, ESC's, FC, & quick mount gimbal plate. TBH wish I'd built one myself instead of this Align :rolleyes:

If I hadn't got involved with the Align M690 I'm testing at the minute & trying to get a nice sub 7kg rig, I had my eye on one of these Vulcans; http://www.uavshop.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=74&products_id=522&osCsid=0mmq6e7h9cdnq7j2qq3ustlkk2 I just don't think I could get this Vulcan...

I agree c/w Naza, RTH is definitely rapid both in the FC's 'decision to' & 'how it goes about it'. Personally I would prefer a little bit more sublety. Just had 8 mins to 30% remaining out of 1x Overlander 5000mAh cells carring 900g balast, which is the same as I get with Align's heavier...

This is what I'm on about. If yours doesn't foul the button then thats Ok.

Thats how I've set mine, basically so it hovers prior to RTL

The gopro hero4 also requires the h3-3d to be modified to fit so you will void the warranty. Personally I would return the gimbal, camera, vTx, fat sharks. Build & get your head round tuning/flying the multicopter, then when the Align G2 gimbal for the go pro hero 4 launches in about a month get...

Sadly I think your storage of the Lipo's has done the damage I'm sorry to have to inform you. Lipo's should be stored with approx 50%-60% charge (no more) not fully charged. Storing them fully charged damages their chemistry. Basically the chemistry degrades if left fully charged. There are many...

Gentles do 2 different leads, one does focus/shutter & the second adds the ability to power zoom with correct lenses. Which I use with a pancake 14-40mm http://www.gentles.ltd.uk/compatibility.htm?filter=gh4

Yes Align have issued APS-M v1.1 update to address the slow GPS lock http://www.align.com.tw/download-en/apsm/ I have done the update & lock is gained easily in 20-25secs ( about 1/3 of the time it took)

UPDATE- FLIGHT & GPS ISSUES SOLVED Right I'm going to own up to my problems being user error. Although I can find no mention of it in any of the manuals, you should not fly with the Bluetooth unit (HERBT001T) cable connected to the FC after making any parameter changes. It does not stop...

It's certainly an option I will look closer at, but the power control unit could be a stumbling block as it would need removing/bypassing as the Align FC software controls it & it has an automatic inactivity timeout shutdown. The PCU is also mounted between the CF frame plates & is bit of a...

If I was spending my money again knowing what I know now, it would be on a S900, in fact I may end up doing this for ease of getting my Ops through & flight test done :upset: I'm sure I can get the M690 to work as well as a S900 with a zen, it's more a case of how much time & effort is needed...

GPS lock seems to take an age even when 16-18 are available, this is taking off from the same spot, just effectively power cycling it. Hover locks in well vertically & horizontally but transition into flight can be abrupt (this is all on stock settings, with CoG well balanced, 800g ballast on...
