    Finally for all unhappy S800 users - antivib upgrade

    Hmm, well for those that missed it the first time around a reely scientific evaluation WAS conducted on the effectiveness of this kit. Here is the video:

    Picloc 3x setting experience etc.

    I have a new Picloc Pro v2 that I will probably never get around to using if anyone wants it.

    DJI acknowledges Zenmuse-GH3 fault. But when will it be fixed?

    In a word, Yes. Mine is actually a GH2 version converted to GH3 use and it has suffered some serious abuse this past month. But it is still delivering the stable goods. Amazingly it remains the only relatively available mainstream commercial option. The anticipated rush of alternative DD...

    DJI acknowledges Zenmuse-GH3 fault. But when will it be fixed?

    Well, don't get too excited everybody. I did not have a problem updating the GCU from v1.10 to v1.12 and the IMU from v1.2 to v1.4 using Assistant v1.00. Likewise for the iOSD mk11 to FWv2.02 with Assistant v3.02. The Z15-GH3 90° down in Reset/FPV mode has been fixed and the Roll & Tilt axes...

    DJI released the Zenmuse Z15-5D 3-axis gimbal!

    Oh really. Do you enjoy making your life difficult? Pathetic battery life, immature firmware, the necessity to go through the colour grading process before you have a watchable image. I suppose it all really depends upon your customer, unless it is just a hobby. As the BMPC is 'only' HD I am...

    DJI released the Zenmuse Z15-5D 3-axis gimbal!

    Precisely what I have been saying all along and the reason why the Zenmuse 5D is a waste of time. If you are taking stills, you don't need pixel accurate stabilisation - because so much can be done so simply in post - so use a simple mount. If you are taking video, use a different camera eg. GH3...

    DJI released the Zenmuse Z15-5D 3-axis gimbal!

    Regardless of what the reason is for the Canon being very susceptible to moiré, it is worse and that is all that counts. As for Magic Lantern and RAW, I wonder exactly how many folks around here shoot RAW. Who the hell needs to deal with those sort of file sizes? I have a brand new BMPC. It is...

    DJI released the Zenmuse Z15-5D 3-axis gimbal!

    Read? I have not used my 5D in four years. I rushed out and bought a 5D mkll when they were the hottest thing around and I was flying only a large single rotor helicopter, before MR's had hit the scene and I was impressed with the video against my Panasonic P2 video camera. Nice and bright with...

    Props for S800 EVO

    Me too. May have something to do with the clearly different lengths between the two in the photograph !! Like I said, the T-Motor props are longer than the standard 15" props

    WARNING - Firmware 5.24

    I don't trust the DJI FC one tiny bit. It has been working fine with 5.22 right up until it went totally ape-sh1t - for no good reason. So the hunt was on. Altitude? Dust? ESC? Nope. Turned out to be corrupted firmware. Retracing to 5.16 it was back to normal, upgrading back to where it started...

    DJI released the Zenmuse Z15-5D 3-axis gimbal!

    Ho-hum, I suppose I had better qualify the "waste of time" comment. I was thinking in terms of aerial video. The GH2&3 knock spots off the Canons video abilities, for apparent resolution, clarity and lack of moiré etc. However, the 5D will take much better photographs than the Lumix cameras. But...

    Zenmuse Z15 with NEX7 & S800 Evo LED lights

    Who the hell are you and what is all this sales rubbish you are talking? The only part of your blather that has any credence is "The S800 EVO is a new". The rest is rubbish.

    DJI Zenmuse GH3 gimbal - new firmware wanted!

    ... as with everything else they have sold. ... my word you are being polite. More accurate terminology would be ***king criminal.

    WARNING - Firmware 5.24

    BTW, forgot to ask. What the hell sort of gains did you have to run at 11,000ft? I am finding the S800 skittish at 7,500ft!

    DJI acknowledges Zenmuse-GH3 fault. But when will it be fixed?

    Sort of glad to know that everyone is affected by this and as for liking the noisy motors ... No. But thanks for clearing up that little query too.

    Props for S800 EVO

    What clearance do you have between adjacent prop tips? I installed TM props on the S800 and the gap between props was not only inconsistent but horribly small - like 1/4" on a couple. DJI's Anti-Vibration bandaid fix might reduce vibes from getting to the camera mount but they also take away a...

    DJI acknowledges Zenmuse-GH3 fault. But when will it be fixed?

    Here we go again. Two days before leaving for a three month filming trip to Kenya I ordered and received the newly released Zenmuse-GH3. Guess what? It is faulty! The three-position Mode selection does not work, Reset only centers the Pan Axis and the 90° tilt function when in FPV Mode does...

    Props for S800 EVO

    Good Luck with that suggestion - unless TM are on the ball and have released split props. Apart from the generally horrendous experience of owning an S800, I am not interested in the EVO because the motors will not accept standard one-piece props. You are stuck with the DJI split props
