My God, the ice caps are melting

Amidst the deafening silence from DJI, and in an effort to breathe some new life into the subject as the "A2 FC Firmware 2.3 - Here We ALL go Again" thread is not shedding any clear light on it all, perhaps we could try to assemble all the failure and crash reports into one place in order to try...

Talk about a wild ride! Sort of like Disneyland Space Mountain without rails. Reminds me of the stuff that juz used to post (what happened to JUZ anyway?)

Well I thoroughly enjoyed that little talk, thank you.

It was actually my comment. Canon connectors? This just gets better and better. Just imagine if some NAA twerp gets hold of that idea! 150kg weight category here we come.

Of that I have little doubt!

And this includes screw torques? They may as well outlaw radio connectors whilst they are at it. I am not against the whole CAA approval. My initial horror was soon replaced by the realisation that it would go a long way towards clearing the skies of idiots but it is clear that there is still a...

Excuse the slight change in direction but .... what changes and where is this info published? Where are the goal posts going to this time? Will we ever be able to stay ahead of the ever-changing regulations now that the UAV is firmly within the nanny's grasp?

This is an issue on the EVO as well. I have bevelled and sanded the carbon motor mount plates in an effort to increase the grommet life. I also mount all the grommets the same way. Offset motor angles really only helps with increased pirouette speed and as that is the last thing I am interested...

Maybe its rubbish and they know it!:)

At 4kg the Ronin introduces a significant weight aspect and it is quite tall. Most of the time this will mean a whole new airframe. Not sure why you think the Zen limits you to the Lightbridge for video monitoring. Regular old analog composite video works well enough if you do not have to...

Ah! Mine has the retracts. Don't like working without them because the Zen only tracks invisibly in the third mode. The DJI implementation of a 'Follow Mode' is hopeless. The camera never stays still. But using the Heading Hold Mode with no retracts means yawing the legs out of the way when...

"Smoke & Mirrors" to quote Droider. That's what the available specs are. Compare the DJI website pages for the S800, EVO and S900. Why confuse things by changing the order of items for each model? Why talk about motor thrust kg for one and motor watts for another? All three of them sport...

+1 Clever.

I cannot offer any helpful towards the A2 issue, but I do hope you manage to resolve it. How did you setup that video/chart sync video? That is a very neat analysis technique, by displaying behaviour against a timeline, and potentially invaluable in challenging a fob-off from DJI.

Not just "good", "Multiretard Good" ... er ... MultirOtard.

That is a real Money Shot contender. Nicely Done. OK here is the game. You have to write down the coordinates of where you think Ben took this pic from and then Ben has to reveal the closest winner. Here is my entry : 51°30'31.87" N / 0°3'59.83" W

Excellent! Guilty of about 90% of the above.

Well done for finding and posting that. I missed this one! Somehow the 'new post' notifications don't always come in. Anyway, that looked like fun. You have to get used to water. Nobody really likes it, but it's all in the mind and unfortunately placing cameras there is one of a helicopter...
