Thanks Tahoe Ed, So do all of the frames have this problem ? I'm reading that some do and some don't. If it's a problem on all of them then I'm surprised at DJI for letting it out the door. If it's only a problem on some of them then I am equally surprised at DJI for letting it out the door and...

Hi all, Has anybody else found any problems with the bracing on the S800 landing gear ? I can't get it to line up without putting stress on the braces. I've followed the instructions carefully and I've taken it apart and put it back together multiple times. I know somebody on the rcgroup forums...

Thanks Dolby. I decided to mount it out on top for the moment. I'll do some test flights and then mount it inside and see how I get on.

Hi all, Just got my S800 this morning ! :) Finishing it off at the moment and was just wondering where people are mounting their receivers ? Was hoping to mount it in the frame with the other electronics but I'm worried about interfering with my range. It's a Futaba R6208SB. Any thoughts ? Many...

Ha ha tstrike ! I share your pain. I need to move :)

I received an email from DJI informing me that when you change lens you can make the adjustment using the assistant software. Also that popular lenses will be supported.

Wow ! Am really encouraged by this Robert. Thank you for posting it. I can't wait to see more. Can you try some shooting with the pan unlocked ? I really can't wait to get mine now :) Have to make a decision on my lens today !

Thanks for pointing me to this jes1111 Am currently waiting on a reply from DJI as to end users ability to configure for different lenses.

Hi all, I received a message from DJI in regard to which lens I plan on using on my Nex with my Zenmuse. I replied that I plan on using a number of different lenses, all of which will be primes. Was this going to be a problem ? The answer informs me that I shouldn't use a zoom lens because of...

Hi all, Am considering splashing out on this gimble for my F450, http://tppacks.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=32&osCsid=0cc9eea47dcfced499852a280c0f4982 However I find the price is a little steep, particularly when coupled with import duty to Europe. Just wondering if anyone has any...

Thanks Kloner, I've just been looking at some YouTube videos of lipo fires and the bags do look as if they are quite effective. Not sure how long they would last with a 6s though. Need to do more research. I think I'll definitely upgrade the fire extinguisher in my jeep.

Actually, I've just been thinking more about this incident. I have two safety bags similar to this one http://www.rcpal.com/lipo-battery-shield-safety-bag-p-151.html But I have about 12 batteries. I'm seriously considering purchasing a bag per battery and making sure that every time I buy a...

Your right Macsgrafs. I thought I was actually being careful but obviously not careful enough ! My biggest mistake was to not use my safety bag. I investigated the cable earlier today. As far as I can make out the short happened when two pins touched inside the connector that joined the battery...

I hear you Iceman ! I had two safety bags in the room with me and didn't use them. I won't make that mistake again.

Gentlemen, Just posting this as a reminder of the dangers of Lipos. I sat down tonight to build a voltage regulated circuit to step down my 4s to 12 volts for my LED's. I was using a breadboard to test the circuit. To set it up I initially used a zippy 2500mah 6.6v 2s with a nano tech 4s...

Thanks Pete ! I'm going to take your advice and stay away from the Orangerx Eoin

Hi all, Just wondering if anyone has experience of the Orangerx Futaba FASST compatible receiver. http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/%5F%5F17206%5F%5FOrangeRx%5FFutaba%5FFASST%5FCompatible%5F8Ch%5F2%5F4Ghz%5FReceiver%5FS%5FSpec.html I'm currently converting my F450 to a 4s system for...

Many thanks Robert for the information ! I'm waiting on my S800 and Z15 but sadly because I joined in so late on the pre-order mine won't ship till the end of May :( So please keep the information coming ! The more I hear the more I can't wait :) @Vinnygogo - thanks, but I also worry about...

Absolutely ! But I'm wondering if there is a more permanent solution :)

Thanks Rob, This is good to know. If one can fly the S800 in a little drizzle then I'll be very happy ! Water and electronics always concern me. I presume there is a certain amount of custom waterproofing that can be done without going down the dome route, but I have never tried any of it...
