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

    :highly_amused: Z-15-5D = Waste of time. Who wants to carry around a heavy camera when you can use a lighter one and stay airborne longer. The only folks who use 5D's for aerial video are the uninformed who have not heard of a GH3. Message to Messrs. DJI. I have just purchased your new...

    WARNING - Firmware 5.24

    Steady on Dave. The "leader of the pack" was your expression for DJI, when pitted against MK et all. Anyway, I stand by my comments and these are borne out with your "STOP! Don't buy an A2" thread. After the endless problems with my piece of crap S800/Z-15, which unfortunately delivers some...

    Zenmuse IR LED Shutter... sometimes works, sometimes not

    I always shield the IR led from sunlight. I use a small length of heatshrink (unshrunk!) cut at the top to form an open flap that covers the IR sensor window. You can test an IR led by operating whilst viewing it with a digital camera. The camera can see it 'lighting up'.

    Quad is gone/fly-away

    Given that the integrity of the radio link is paramount the choice of frequency for the video link should be carefully considered. I use 2.4g for the radio and 5.8g for the video but I fly LOS only. Anything 'FPV' needs good range. The higher bandwidth of 5.8g will give you a better video image...

    Show what you filmed - Post Your Video Here

    All very good an' all ... but how I emphatically abhor the GoPro view. For a device designed to self-portrait a dude on his surfboard, mounting a GoPro on a helicopter represents the epitome of mis-deployment of equipment. Still, I'm really chuffed that everybody else uses it though.

    WARNING - Firmware 5.24

    ??? What precisely is there to keep up with? Confusing flashing LED patterns? Unexplained runaway flights? Intermittent erratic behaviour? A strange set of criteria you have for a Leader of the Pack. The ONLY reason I have a WKM is to support the Zenmuse. The Zenmuse is the only decent thing...

    WARNING - Firmware 5.24

    I updated to 5.24 and was happy to have a functioning RTH - which I have never yet felt the need to activate, but we do like to have things working as they are supposed to - and cannot say I noticed anything strange. But after all this talk here I didn't want to go out and suddenly get hit by it...

    DJI Zenmuse GH3 Gimbal

    Where have you found the Z15-GH3? It was only officially announced last Friday and I don't see it listed on any dealer sites yet?

    DJI Retractable Landing gear Help!!!

    Only two things come to mind and they have both been touched on here. a) the Tx channel needs to be reversed (as in servo reverse) b) the left and right servo plugs into the small circuit on the left leg are in the wrong places, i.e. left servo plugged into right servo's hole.
