If you were anywhere reasonably close to Boston I'd gladly help you get it sorted and flying, I have enough experience with the Multiwii boards that it wouldn't take but an hour or two assuming it's a decent quality board they used. Another option would be to remove the current flight...

The Aerosky 550 is a DJI F550 frame kit with a Multiwii controller installed, you could call it a low budget version of the DJI product which normally would have a Naza flight controller. I find it interesting that someone would put a Multiwii in what amounts to a beginners almost ready to fly...

Having the frame in view is intentional, I like to see how much the frame is moving vs what the camera is doing on the gimbal when I'm testing. I have plenty of gimbals with no view of the frame, mostly on hex at the moment, the quad is an FPV beater and testbed. Ken

Unfortunately no, the Tarot is designed specifically for the Hero 3. For the older GoPro I use the RCTimer GoPro gimbal... http://www.rctimer.com/product_872.html I have two of them both setup with Alexmos controllers, not as plug and play as the Tarot but you can use any camera that will fit...

Torture testing a brushless gimbal FPV style... RCTimer GoPro gimbal, Alexmos controller, Mikrokopter FPV quad Ken

I have a couple APM and several variations of Multiwii. You get a lot more software functionality from the APM than a standard Multiwii, but IMO the APM is a lot harder to tune to get it flying as smoothly as the newer Multiwii "pro" boards. There is a version of code for Multiwii called...

An easy way to get a consistant and smooth pan, get to the desired altitude, set GPS position hold, and feed in some rudder trim to get the multi rotating, The amount of trim will determine how fast the speed of rotation is but you need to make sure your GPS position hold is rock solid before...

You can find a few inexpensive landing gear types here... http://www.gothelirc.com/shopdisplayproducts.asp?id=183&cat=Multi%2Drotor+Landing+Gear For an inexpensive and as close to ready to fly GoPro H3 gimbal as there is on the market, I recommend this one, around $180 shipped to the USA...

Some obstacle course FPV practice from earlier today, Flip FPV frame with APM 2.5 flight controller... Ken

Or you could just buy a Tarot gimbal for the equivalent of $150 US and get the same results you would with the H3-2D without all the hassle...

The fast oscillation is either the gain is too high or the props are the wrong size for the motor/battery ccombo you're using. The easiest thing is reduce the basic gains about 10% and see what happens. The way I usually test is set both basic pitch and roll to be adjustable from the TX assuming...

I'll let you know the final setup soon. I just moved the gimbal to my Droidworx frame and I'm getting it dialed in now. Two issues I have to deal with, one I screwed up and broke one of the connections between the windings and the motor power wire, managed to do an iffy repair but it's...

Double sided tape works well, just make sure to get it square to the frame and secure it so it can't move. The tape will isolate the sensor from any vibration that might get transmitted though the frame of the gimbal and help smooth the responses. That said it shouldn't really matter if it's...

Yup, because it's relatively cheap and pretty much RTF anyone can join the fun including the completely clueless. Add to that the crap radio gear DJI has inflicted on the Phantom and it's frequent attempts to fly back to China all on its own, the end result is a disaster waiting to happen. So...

Speaking of not so responsible flight, here's a classic example. Losing control right after takeoff wasn't a deterent nor was the thick fog limiting visibilty near the ground to a few yards at best, nope, get control back and let that sucker climb until it breaks through the clouds. Would have...

Not anymore... Ken

Great idea Boris, the DJI arms are the major weak point of the Discovery IMO, at least they're cheap to replace! Seeing the pic makes me think I should go out to the garage and start carving up some Delrin on the mill and give this a try on that spare set of Discovery frame plates I have :) Ken

Sold pending payment...

From what I've seen the Evo is what the S800 should have been when it was released. It was quite obvious that the S800 wasn't fully baked when it hit the market and we saw the same old 'let the customer pay to beta test' method of product development until they finally got to the Evo version...
