Scrub that. I see it is the A2. Can't say I have had any of the reported issues with mine yet - other than the Main Controller that had to be replaced right out of the box. Is yours behaving?

Cool gig and nicely done! Which FC do you use on your S1000? Presumably you used a Z15-GH3, is the GH4 a drop in replacement for the 3 - except for the HD out of course? No slight weight shifts?

Make sure you have the Zenmuse Can Bus cable connected into the correct Can Bus circuit. The A2 has two circuits, against the single circuit of the Wookong where the Zen could be connected to any spare Can Bus port. With the A2 the Zen will behave strangely if connected to Can Bus 2. This means...

Appreciate the nice comments, gents ... and ladies (FlyGirl?). Got lucky with the giraffe. The inquisitive one is called Helen and she was evidently besotted by the MR. Followed it around everywhere. Watching the rushes of that close-up sequence is funny because just after that she started...

Thought it was about time I posted something here. Here is a montage of various projects filmed in different countries.

Ah, when you wrote 'heli' I took it to be a single-rotor. I have an A2 equipped EVO that is about to be soak-tested. With Zen removed and legs up, it will have thirty flights or more and see if it crosses this mystical threshold between Everything's Great and Oh Bugger.

Not so sure. The IMU.v2 that DJI introduced for Wookong users, supposedly to overcome S800's falling out of the sky if they were more than 7kg AUW, actually has "A2" written on the back of it. It was introduced around the same time that the A2 was announced at the NAB, leading to speculation...

Was he using an ACE One or Wookong H on his helicopter?

Nyeuuugh, you edited out my final er ... anagram! This is what I fly: a Copterworx AF25B single rotor helicopter, a Droidworx AD8-HLE with MK FC - never put a foot wrong, predictable and well behaved almost to the point of tedium, just a bit under-powered - an S800 with WKM and Z15-GH2 (modded...

And what, may I ask, the hell is wrong with that? I see no good reason why DJI should not be figuratively dragged naked across hot coals in public. As a collective entity they have almost single-handed been ultimately responsible for bringing the entire multi-rotor activity into apparent...

Yeah, you're right. That is a really stupid thing to say

Now that is an interesting report, since virtually all the other reports are suspecting the A2 failures are somehow linked to the GPS. Perhaps we had ALL better measure the temperature of that little box. I wonder what the hell is going on back at DJI HQ? This has all been going on far too long...

Well you are all wrong. The Fennecs are a super elite force - so elite that only boy friends and available singles can apply or be selected in order to ensure compatibility in tight quarters where hugging and canoodling is Standard Operating Procedure. Like all French agencies - police...

Hmm, did the Euro USC bulletin use the expression "generic Flight Control system" by any chance?

It is not for me to reveal the precise source but suffice to say that the subject was discussed at a meeting this last Monday with the CAA, with the conclusion that the CAA intends to release an Information Notice. As I said I was not informed of the intimate details but the inference was a...

Interesting. I've always wondered what WTF means. Bart?

Keep your eyes peeled for a forthcoming CAA Information Notice. The word is that the A2 is about to be blacklisted but do not know the details yet.

ONE post and you come up with a video like that? Excellent stuff. I was so impressed with everything that I was certain you were going to cross the beach (2:43) and go all the way out across the bay to the boat ... but alas, no. Next time! Impressed with the GoPro's handling of the boat lit at...

You know what is so ironic? I was doing this when there were just helicopters and hardly anyone else was. Then the multi-rotor appeared. To be honest I couldn't take the stupid ugly little insects seriously but then their aerial camera platform qualities could not be denied and so Hey! Great! it...

Oh my bloody God. By the time these bureacratic twats have finished they will have to adjust all the weight categories to accommodate all the redundancy with two Flight Controls, four batteries, sixteen motors, two parachutes, tethering winch... Jesus H. Christ it gets more stupid every...
