    Question about fail safe and signal loss

    OK, it seems I have a new issue :upset: I recently installed a new Photoship One landing gear set and a 2-axis brushless gimbal. Upon taking the first test flight, the controls felt very unstable :dejection: I figured it might have sumthin to do with the battery being moved from the top to...

    Anyone here using a PhotoShip One gimbal mount for F550?

    OK, the wind died down just enough for me to get a test flight in and it lasted about 10 seconds. Sticks felt very twitchy and unstable :upset: I managed to bring her down without tipping, but just barely. Could it be that there's just too much weight on the bottom of this setup? FWIW, the...

    Question about fail safe and signal loss

    Yes, I had tried binding with the Mix switch in both positions (on and off) before turning on the radio numerous times and no dice. On this last bind, I did it with the Mix switch on and the only thing I did differently was put some distance between the Tx and Rx and it just worked :black_eyed:

    Question about fail safe and signal loss

    OK, so everything is working fine on the bench, but all night I've been wondering WHY?? I've been through the manual and I don't see anything about putting distance between the Tx and Rx when binding :cold: From day one, I've always bound them right next to each other and it obviously worked...

    Question about fail safe and signal loss

    sochin, you tha man!! :cool: Before attempting to change the gear switch settings, I decided to try re-binding one last time and put some distance between the Tx and Rx (sumthin I haven't done before) :cold: With the Hex in one room an me with the Tx in another, I did a re-bind with the RTH...

    Question about fail safe and signal loss

    Sounds good I'm closing up shop right now, so I'll give it a shot tomorrow. Quick question on the receiver. I noticed today that after powering up, both the NAZA was flashing orange and the AR8000 was also flashing, but the satellite LED was constant. It took a good 40 seconds before the...

    Question about fail safe and signal loss

    OK, I'm a little confused (make that a lot) If I setup my 2-position gear switch to ATT and RTH Fail Safe, what do I use for GPS?

    Question about fail safe and signal loss

    Correct, it doesn't go into RTH mode when I turn off the transmitter. All it does is go to 50% throttle and hold whatever position the right stick was in when I turned the power off. I tried re-binding numerous times with the RTH switch on, but it still won't go into RTH mode when I turn the...

    Question about fail safe and signal loss

    When I turn off the power switch, the throttle stick goes to center as it should, however, the right stick holds whatever position it was at when the power switch was shut off. That's what I'm trying to do lol No, it doesn't go into the RTH fail safe. DX6i Tx w/AR8000 Rx I set both...

    Question about fail safe and signal loss

    OK, seems I've run into a little snag with the preset fail safe :cold: I tested the RTH switch and it worked fine. It did what it was supposed to and was about to land, but because of the windy conditions, I decided to take control before landing (pretty much how I usually use RTH) Next, I...

    Anyone here using a PhotoShip One gimbal mount for F550?

    Well, my order came in from EBay and instead of the Photoship One, they sent me a cheap universal landing gear set :dejection: Called their customer service number on their website and got a recording that said if it was an EBay issue to message them through EBay (great) :upset:

    Anyone here using a PhotoShip One gimbal mount for F550?

    Does your GoPro catch any of the props spinning when you pitch it forward?

    Anyone here using a PhotoShip One gimbal mount for F550?

    According to the website, the main tubes are CF, but I'm assuming the rest is plastic.

    Anyone here using a PhotoShip One gimbal mount for F550?

    Ordered one for my F550, but I'm not sure what to expect in terms of flight by hanging all the weight on the bottom. I usually fly with my flight pack on the top centered with a wire mount GoPro on the bottom, but now that I have a brushless gimbal, I wanted to be able to push the camera...

    Question about fail safe and signal loss

    I have yet to test the fail safe and RTH (waiting for a calm day), but after watching a few YouBoob videos, I see folks tend to do their calibration dance differently :o Here's one that stands in one spot and swings his Hex around in a circle. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pek6WmU7ZKk...

    Gimbal suggestion for Gopro HD/Hero 2?

    I assume they're the same grommets used in this video? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sILodjfYfGI I don't have a spare channel on my transmitter :( Would I be able to use the pot to just set the tilt pre-flight?

    Gimbal suggestion for Gopro HD/Hero 2?

    I just pulled the trigger on the Ebay one I posted above. With the controller cable, can I just plug in one of these pots for on-board tilt control?
