    DJI S800 retracts don't function after IMUv2 upgrade ... WHAT ??

    AT the risk of double posting I decided to start a new thread on this because a) it might get seen by those who do not follow the IMUv2 thread and b) I want to find a quick solution to this rather baffling issue. First off the rig: S800/WKM w/ IMUv2/Z15G/DJI retracts/iOSD/bluetooth LED...

    Wookong IMU V2

    So, first opportunity to get out and try everything having changed the IMU to v2. Decided to install the iOSD as well for the sake of an upcoming job that requires specific altitudes. First impressions were good, everything smooth - seemingly smoother than before, but that could be just the...

    Wookong IMU V2

    I have a v2 IMU and the Assistant Software 2.00 has a different interface from the 1.34 that I was using with the IMU.v1 (f/w 5.16). In place of the pop-up window with info on current versions and available updates is the dedicated pane 'Upgrade'. When the USB cable is connected to the MC this...

    Wookong IMU V2

    Well, my lady thinks that DJI is just wonderful! Because, now she has the iPad mini she always wanted - and then when she's not looking I can use the bluetooth LED :)

    Looking good there Barny ! Glad to see you have been busy. Can't wait to get out to that great big wonderful playroom again. BTW, that is the weirdest video embed. It keeps rushing off to Vimeo with every click.

    Wookong IMU V2

    That's what I thought ! If it doesn't then what the hell are we buying it for? May as well keep the old IMU.v1 and use the new damped fastener with IMU tray 'upgrade' - if and when it ever becomes available to buy. I think pretty much ALL their stuff looks nice. I just have a problem with the...

    Wookong IMU V2

    With the USB connected to the MC the upgrade options do not appear. They only appear if the USB cable is connected to the bluetoothLED - except that they 'timeout' and don't complete the upgrade.

    Wookong IMU V2

    Oh by the way folks, here is some more funny news. If you are rushing out to get the IMU.v2 so that you can take advantage of the super user-friendly bluetooth LED for super user-friendly parameter changing ... it doesn't work with an iPhone 4. Minimum is an iPhone 4S. If you don't have an...

    Wookong IMU V2

    I have tried three types of gel (including the blue Align) - even combinations of different thicknesses and densities - and it made not a scrap of difference to the height dropping unreliability (IMU.v1/fw5.16). I have now installed the IMU V2 and the bluetooth LED. WKM software is v5.22 and it...

    DJI Formally Releases S800 Vibration Absorber Kits & S800 EVO Frame Arm

    On the other hand this 'tester' may just be a wally who doesn't know how to do things properly ?

    The DJI rant thread

    The intention of this thread is not just to ***** about DJI but to gather all the complaints in one place to a) compare the problems and b) assemble a sufficient number of documented issues that DJI can be confronted with a huge number of 'complaints'. Without doubt they will come to know of...

    WKM S800 loses altitude when flying forward

    Maybe, but ... with an all-DJI rig of S800/WKM/Z15G plus GH2 there is little excuse for DJI (or anyone else) to suggest that this configuration is outside original AUW specs. It is all their gear and sold as a standard configuration. As I remember it the S800 was the first MR released, i.e...

    The DJI rant thread

    There are one or two posts that credit a couple of DJI representatives with attempting to be helpful but these are lost in the swathe of posts of frustration or anger with DJI for their lack of customer concern, particularly with regard to their 'upgrade' policy where original equipment has...

    GoPro 3 ... and a half

    Do we know about this? The Aussies (& Kiwis) have come up with their own GoPro. Turned the sensor through 90° but otherwise appear to use pretty much the same case and fittings.

    DJI Formally Releases S800 Vibration Absorber Kits & S800 EVO Frame Arm

    Oh this just gets funnier and funnier. Hot on the heels of the IMU.v2 uproar, where the sentiments pretty much echo what you have stated, is this announcement of replacement booms - eerily foretold by Yours Truly in the Wookong IMU V2 thread. With this 'upgrade' DJI will have finally replaced...

    Wookong IMU V2

    I feel you are being unnecessarily charitable there. I somehow doubt that the S800 was not on the drawing board when the Wookong-M was brought to market. DJI had already established themselves as a credible supplier of two generations of SR heli auto-pilot systems before the WKM appeared, and...

    I just got the new S800 vibe dampening kit to try!

    Jeez. What tiny photos. Can't read a word!

    Wookong IMU V2

    Well, if you have gone to the lengths of selling your car and now your house, just to get the S800 to work, you may as well sell your soul now. I mean, in for a penny, in for pound, Eh?

    New Align 800 cameraship - Needs some work!

    My Copterworks heli has 950 blades and SAB are about the only ones available that won't break up. The relatively high head speed of 1430 unfortunately precludes M-Blades which don't have the tip speed.
