    TBS Discovery Pro

    I did my time with SRH prior to multis as well, could probably build a CP quad myself but want to have one of the first mass market kits. I might not even assemble it but put it on the shelf instead and wait to see what comes down the line. Even if I do put it together it won't be seeing any...

    Recording OSD video

    I have the same unit but slightly older without the builtin RX. Video quality is OK but for the $ I'd go with the FPVJapan unit or one of these which is essentially the same thing... http://www.readymaderc.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=11_14&products_id=1204 much better...

    TBS Discovery Pro

    I'm passing on this one, ordered a Stingray 500 instead. I already have two Discovery and four BL Gimbals, don't feel the need to combine a Disco with a gimbal, I'd rather FPV upside down. :) Ken

    TBS Disco - Landing Gear & Brushless Gimbal Mounting Options?

    How's it fly with the extra weight? I have a brushless GoPro gimbal, or more correctly a pile of spare/leftover parts that can be made into a working one, and I'm undecided what to put it on. I have an extra set of Discovery frame plates that I could build up and modify to fit the gimbal to, or...

    2013 MRF Flight Control Assessment

    The FRSky gear did arrive yesterday and I spent some time during lunch testing it out. One very nice feature is the ability to do PPM to the flight controller, one wire and no birdsnest of cabling! I got the telemetry capable TX/RX plus the little display screen that shows the data returned from...

    2013 MRF Flight Control Assessment

    It's not just the Naza that feels a bit numb with EZUHF, pretty much every flight controller I've had setup on it felt the same way leading me to believe the EZUHF is slower than other long range gear. I recently put the EZ aside and started using a Turnigy 9XR with OpenLRS TX and OrangeLRS RX...

    High pitched whine from brushless gimbal

    Unless the gimbal and motors are complete crap the Alexmos board should hold rock steady in the wind like this... This is an RCTimer $99 gimbal with an Alexmos board hard mounted to a Droidworx AD6. I don't recall which flight control system I had on the AD6 when this was recorded, I recently...

    High pitched whine from brushless gimbal

    Load the version 2 firmware for the Alexmos board, or if you already have it loaded, go to the advanced tab in the GUI and set the PWM frequency to HIGH, that will eliminate the noise. It is not possible to tune it out using the PID parameters, it's caused by the 8kHz update rate to the motors...

    any one knows about flycat or tbs like frame for 330 size legs ?

    I built my own by scaling down my standard size TBS Discovery... The only problem is the same one I ran into when I setup an F330 quad for FPV, the amount of room available to mount components while maintaining the needed separation between them to reduce the chance of...

    DJI Zenmuse H3-2D Gimbal for GoPro.

    I guess it depends on what the intended use is, all else aside, for pro use that really isn't a bad price at all. From the hobby side, yes, there are much less expensive GoPro only gimbals out there. You'll put in more time and effort getting most of the others up and running but if you like to...

    AV200 + brushless

    I think the problem you'll find is the brushless controller gimbals are designed to be used as direct drive mechanisms. The AV series are gear driven on the roll axis and belt on the tilt, easy enough to convert the tilt to be direct drive, but the problem is the roll axis conversion. As far as...

    DJI releases Zenmuse H3-2D

    Support is key and the price could be justified if the buyer could be assured that support was accessable and responsive along with a readily available stock of spares for repairs after the inevitable crash damage that you know is going to occur on a fairly high percentage of these given the...

    DJI Release 5.22 Firmware

    You should always reset everything using the default button in the Assistant, save it, then manually re-enter all the settings. Failure to do this can result in weird things happening, including flips on takeoff and random falling out of the sky, DJI has been recommending this procedure since...

    DJI releases Zenmuse H3-2D

    Found the official release email in my inbox this morning for the DJI GoPro gimbal. Pricing set at $699 US and of course unless you've already preordered one the initial shipment is sold out. If you want one it's likely to be July before you'll have it in hand at this point. Personally already...

    Aeronavics / Droidworx AD-6 repair tech

    So far it looks good with the APM, and now that the motors are locked down it's flying straight vs weaving like a drunk. Haven't had an opportunity to get it out in the field with the APM yet, the motor issue prevented getting the tuning right so I've only done a few test flights so far. Since...

    WKM mid-air reboot... All motors stop.

    Anything is possible, I would think a brownout is one of those situations where you never really know exactly how the RX will respond. How much voltage did it lose and for how long? No way to really know but if you were to do some controlled testing with a variable power supply to see what...

    WKM mid-air reboot... All motors stop.

    Make sure you have the TX/RX and flight controller failsafe setup correctly, if it isn't the end result of a brownout or RX failure can be catastrophic and setting just the throttle failsafe isn't enough. I always setup the radio failsafe to be enough throttle to maintain a hover, aileron and...

    Aeronavics / Droidworx AD-6 repair tech

    I recently installed a 3DR APM 2.5 on my well worn AD-6 heavy lifter, during the tuning process I noticed it was having issues with yaw stability so I decided it was time for a bench session to give the old bird a thorough examination. This particular frame hasn't seen a lot of use recently, the...

    The never ending progress and wheres good enough??CS 360 gimbal

    Not disagreeing but everyone has different methods and viewpoints. I currently have three hex setup and ready to go at any given time, all three have brushless gimbals and all three are setup slightly different. If I know I'm going to be flying different cameras then it's already setup on one of...
