I've had my DJI gps lock on to a pretty damn tight circle before. Maybe 1' max. But it's not all gps, they use some inertial compensation to achieve this. Whatever it is it is very good when setup correctly. Not that I am an advocate of DJI at all, I hate what they are doing to the market...

Only mostly joking. By the time DJI sticks these things on the shelf of every possible convenience store, the issues at hand will only get worse and the competition more and more competitive. I dont think this will affect the guys that have a good solid name established for themselves. But...

I'm selling all my gear and taking up basket weaving. Good luck guys. DJI can kiss my ***!

If DJI can sell Phantoms at Costco and Toys r Us then it must be legal, right? This whole industry will go a few ways. 1. it will be something we all forget about in a few years because we got tired of the legality issues. 2. the FAA comes up with some really expensive license that prevents...

I'm also confused by this. Initially, when I purchased the hovergimbal I was so excited to be able to ditch the pots as they are a weak link in the chain. But I was told that I needed to wait for future firmwares to do this. I am still using 1.6 since it worked pretty well right out of the...

I did make it work but it was a real PITA. I wouldnt do that agin without making some sort of clamp to hold all the other wires down. I even pre tinned the whole thing. What I ended up using were lugs, crimped and soldered to each esc wire. I then stuck a bolt through all the lugs with...

Not being able to point directly down is something I have yet to figure out how to accomplish. As you say the input field makes no difference in angle range. I gave up on getting a response to this and just kept it as is and deal with it. I also still have a glitch when it returns to level.

Nice scenery! Great flying. Only a Hoverfly could be that good. :)

Man, now I wish I went with you.

Id be happier with global shutter than 60fps. You can get beautiful smooth video at 24 fps. What you cant do obviously is slow it down, at all. 30 fps is still a good # though if your rig is tuned well. With that said, even at 60fps, jello can occur on a bad day. But with GS your post...

Damn that kid can fly. I didn't know they had airplanes that reversed the prop thrust. Good write up.

I knew it was this video before I even watched it. Those guys probably cheered as it happened. Good thing the props stopped on impact. Dumb ***.

Then I'm really not sure. I had a weird thing happen where it flew perfect on 9" props. Then the next day it just jumped 15' off the ground when giving it throttle. Hoverfly still hasn't really answered a single question I've sent them over the last 4 months so I just played with it. I ended up...

Are you using the smooth firmware? They have 3 firmwares from acrobatic to Smooth.

3s and 8" props. I will be curious to see how that works. Glad it's finally coming together. Let me know if you need anything else. Cheers Yuri

Awesome. Which motors and esc's and props are you using again?

nice work guys!

Ignore it. I got the same thing, obviously the same board. The sport only needs that one gain setup. You only plug int the computer to tell it what config you have and thats it. No calibration or anything else as it has no AL, AH, OSD, etc. You shouldnt have to do anything since it came off...

1 meter is too much! Look, the chinese steal everything from other countries, why cant we steal their AH and GPS hold algorithms? The problem is that 1 meter variance will show in the footage. So if you are flying around for fun, sure that maybe great, but the idea is to increase have a...
