    Gopro on a S800

    I have a GoPro vid from last night. I mounted it on the centre plate looking straight at the IMU trying to see if their was some vibration causing my strange flight problems. I'm away from my gear until Wednesday, but can post the video then if it helps. Eoin.

    S800 Strange Behaviour and White lights

    Same here ! Haven't had any problems before now. Hopefully DJI can shed some light on this ! Edit: sorry haven't sent an email to DJI because I read so many posts about no reply. I've just never had these problems before. Which address did you use Boris ? And do you find that they answer ?

    Batteries and tray for the S-800

    Hi, I've tried the Zippys and Nanotech amongst others. Both are good. Recently I was pointed to the Giant Power batteries by my local RC Shop guy. I have to say they are definitely the best I have come across. I bought two 5000 MAh 35c to play with and after abusing them quite a lot they are...

    S800 Strange Behaviour and White lights

    I'll be really interested in how you get on Boris. I won't be able to fly again until Wednesday so if you find a solution do please let us know ! What I don't understand is that on the F450 everything was perfect. What firmware are you flying ? Thanks Eoin

    S800 Strange Behaviour and White lights

    Thanks Michael64. I don't think that is the problem though. It flew perfectly on the F450 with the compass pointing forward. Shiu, I'll try this. Go back to defaults and try again. Perhaps I have made a mistake here. I have to leave for a work trip now. I won't get a chance to try again until...

    S800 Strange Behaviour and White lights

    Update on this, I've just been outside doing some testing. When in atti mode it flys dead straight as it should. When I enter GPS mode it will fly dramatically to the right when going forward and to the left when flying backwards. If I release the sticks it enters into a very large toilet bowl...

    S800 Strange Behaviour and White lights

    Sorry for delay. Got called away. Yes I've calibrated the compass three times now. Am at a loss.

    Proper way to wire LED strips ...

    If your feeling a little adventurous you could make a simple voltage regulator using an LM317 a few resistors and capacitors. It's not difficult and will allow you to set whatever voltage you choose.

    S800 Strange Behaviour and White lights

    Hi again all, Just been out with my S800 and am having some consistent problems. No matter which way I mount the GPS the S800 will begin flying in a straight line and then gradually yaw to the right. If it has any speed at all it will overshoot tremendously and yaw even more right when I let...

    M-View Maps cache

    Hey, Anybody know if it's possible to cache an area your going to be flying in in M-view. I know I can do it if I leave the instance of M-view open but that means leaving my laptop in standby. I'm hoping I can just store the maps locally on my harddrive. Will be flying later in an area with no...

    Best adhesive pads for mounting Wookong ?

    Thanks Mailman, Do you happen to have a name for the tape ? (like a stock number or something) We don't have home depo over here. None of the large hardware stores have anything suitable that I have been abe to find.

    Best adhesive pads for mounting Wookong ?

    Hi all, I have spent the last few weeks looking for the 3M VHB adhesive pads that came with my Wookong but to no avail. I thought they were very good. I have tried various align mounting pads but feel there is too much dampening when using these. Can anyone suggest a good alternative to these...

    S800 and GPS

    Hi all. I'm having a difficult time getting a gps lock with my Wookong on my S800. I have the gps mounted on the pole just off the center of the top board, away from any other electronics. Because I have upgraded to 5.08 I thought it might just be a cold start and therefore taking a long time...

    New version 5.08 and datalink new options and frees upgrades available ....

    I've just upgraded to 5.08. From what I can make out the only difference is the mView upgrade (which I'm delighted about) I think it's essentially still 5.06 as far as flight characteristics go.

    Height limitation on WKM?

    Hi Dewster, As far as I know there is no height restriction on the wkm. The legal height in my Country is 400ft and I have had mine at that height a number of times. It can be difficult to tell if it's still climbing when it's that high. I have the ground station so I'm able to monitor my exact...

    First Multirotor Crash

    Agggh ! Sorry to hear about this Homer911. I'd be inclined to write that battery off and never use it again. Hope you get her back in the air soon !

    S800 - Landing Gear Braces

    Thanks DennyR, It's good to know that it's not just me and that DJI have acknowledged it. I agree with you on not tightening the upper screws too much. I'll carry on flying and hopefully the mod won't take too long.
