Telling us what country you're in would help someone point you in the right direction! Ken

For the bigger multis I use 3.5, on some of my little stuff I use 2mm to keep the weight down. I think 4mm vs 3.5 comes down to personal choice, there isn't that much difference between them but depending on how you run the wires it may come down to a matter of available space, like running the...

The answer is no, the programming card does nothing when hooked to the DJI ESC. That doesn't really surprise me since it's intended for a single application, multirotors, there's no need for a lot of programming options so they're probably fixed in the firmware and the programming option...

Measure to the center of the IMU is what DJI says and by that they mean the exact center in 3 dimensions. For the Z axis I use the middle of one of the sides as my reference point. The tolerance is +/- 1cm according to the DJI techies, one day when I had nothing better to do I changed the...

As opposed to the hundred or more MK that have done the same...? ;) Of course the MK diehards will stick their heads in the sand and refuse to see the DJI accomplishments for what they are, advancements in what is possible, not until Holger and Co embrace the same technology will they admit...

I wouldn't even make it out the door with one in hand... Ken

Yeah, talk about segmenting the market, one size for Nex 5N size cams and a bigger one for the heavy full size DSLRs. Start saving your pennys for the big one, I've been told it will be in the $3000 range! Ken

Now that's an interesting question that I'll have to explore later. The Hobbywing programming card is the same one for Turnigy and it worked fine for the DYS ESCs I have as well, so later I'll try hooking it up to one of the DJI Escs on my F450 and see if it does anything. Quite possible the...

Keep in mind it's still under development, it was supposed to be released this month but that has now pushed out another 8 weeks or so apparently which tells me that while the hardware may be the initial production version they're still working on the firmware. DJI likely will not let this one...

It's odd because back at the middle of last summer I did this video using my Droidworx AD6 on MK electronics. I basically parked it in position hold and altitude hold at about 225 feet vertically and let it sit there for about 5 or 6 minutes. The back and forth yawing is a compass board that was...

I don't believe it has anything to do with the GPS needing attention, it worked perfectly in wind here at the house holding position to within a couple feet for as long as I wanted to let it stay there, something else is going on here. It's not the TB effect that has me concerned, it's more the...

DJI ESC is a Hobbywing, just one that's built to their specs with the programming settings already done. There's nothing magical or special about them other than they cost 2X as much as a Hobbywing and there's no BEC so you get even less for twice as much. Ken

Two things come to mind, one being with that gimbal it doesn't really matter what the frame it's attached to is doing and the other that you can bet their frame/motor/ESC combo won't be nearly as twitchy as other large hex and even if it does have a few small tics it won't matter. What will...

Has to be a problem with either the pot or the wire and/or connections between it and the servo, only possible thing it could be if nothing else works. Ken

As interesting as a ride on one of those jetpacks might be, I think I'd pass on it. At least with wings or a rotor you can more or less glide in if the power quits, falling out of the sky like a stone isn't on my bucket list! ;) Ken

If I can just get to the point of getting some really good raw video with the current configuration of the CS, I have plenty of not so good raw video taken with the WKM in control that can be used for comparison. Still not sure they'd get it though, as you mention they seem to be hung up on how...

I feel the same way, if it weren't for the fact I had the Mk hardware sitting there gathering dust I wouldn't have done it myself. On the other hand the issues with the WKM were just making it impossible to get the full benefit of what the CineStar is capable of. From the little time I've had...

There's two issues in play with what you're seeing, one being the fact that the WKM needs to use significantly smaller props than the same multi would with other flight controller hardware, so the torque reaction to counter yaw is less than it would be with the bigger props. The other factor is...

Worth a try but don't hold your breath waiting for them to do it. Thing that gets me is that if this were a government contract application or expensive industrial hardware then there would be a very explicit technical manual that explains all the different settings and how they work along with...

I think they need to work on the V2 firmware, maybe that's why they're not readily available through resellers yet! I just got a new 5N to replace the one that got stuffed when the CS6 went down on New Years day. I'm a bit gun shy to bolt it on the CS and fly with it now that I know what happens...
