    DJI S1000 1st service... what did we find?

    I hadn't noticed the difference between S800 and S1000 diameters. The ones replaced a couple of weeks ago were S800 and the ones replaced yesterday were S1000 ones which had arrived in the meantime. So I'll have to check things over again and see if it's an issue. One thing I forgot to mention...

    DJI S1000 1st service... what did we find?

    We've been piling on the hours since the beginning of March so its time for a service. Generally most things have stood up well to being travelled from the sub tropics to the arctic circle, from sea level off a boat to being trundled up ( and down) several mountains. We've had to repair a...

    Police are starting to fear model planes.

    The UK police are definitely becoming more savvy over UAVs. We had a call from the police a day after doing a job in what will soon be a sensitive area. They were obviously seeking someone flying on the day they called. What was curious is that the call came through to a personal mobile number...

    Freefly Movi M5 Brushless Gimbal, Official Users' Thread

    Hi Guys. Thanks for the details about the movi, I do have access to one so will probably work out a mounting system and give it a go. Lec. I was also flying around Oxford today and didn't have any odd GPS issues.

    LANC & video for Sony Cx cameras has been discussed before, this link may be interesting.... http://www.multirotorforums.com/showthread.php?5491-Sony-Lanc-AV-cables&highlight=Sony+LANc+video We got a right angled bare wire cable and made our own connections. The straight out cable was fouling...

    Lightbridge + S1000/800 + ZenMuse- what combinations work?

    Yes, real disappointment. Had the Tx turned off for both pilot (DX18) and gimbal op(MX20). Only the Lightbridge was turned on. I believe a standard Phantom setup would be really good.

    Lightbridge + S1000/800 + ZenMuse- what combinations work?

    Well, this configuration no longer works after installing the latest DJI updates. I assume it's because the frequency range has been reduced, eliminating illegal frequencies. This forces users in to the crowded,narrow legal range very close to other control frequencies. Video image pixelates...

    Flying near magnetic mountains

    Well, the job's done and dusted. Lec has some truly spectacular footage but we'll have to wait for the video release date before any can be posted. He did have a couple of compass lockouts due to nearby magnet rocks that prevented motor start up. Moving a few feet away cleared the problem in...

    Freefly Movi M5 Brushless Gimbal, Official Users' Thread

    Hi Has anyone mounted A M5 under a S1000 yet? Just curious. As mentioned in a previous post it looks like it will work on paper but just interested if there are real test to see if it is viable. Lec

    Does DJI AVL58 work with Diversity monitor

    We've been using the 7 inch version on a GH3/ZenMuse setup and its been fine. Lacking a bit in range but workable. You do hear horror stories of GH4s and HDMI converters but Kopterworx swear their converter will work if substituted for the Zen's built in one. So one could assume it will work...

    DJI has released new firmware for DJI Lightbridge!

    Blade Strike.. Thank's for getting back. I do look forward to DJI's response, I really hope it's positive. It's been so frustrating having to find the limitation of DJI kit by having to spend first, in the case of the Lightbridge that's quite a wad of cash. We've started on a shoot with what...

    DJI has released new firmware for DJI Lightbridge!

    BladeStrike ... Your image is not from a GH3 is it? Our GH3 HDMI out to the ZM HDMI/composite converter thru the slip rings to the ZenMuse GCU to a normal analog 5.8GHz video downlink Tx to a 16:9 monitor delivers an undistorted 16:9 image. It is an SD image not an HD image. SD is capable of...

    DJI has released new firmware for DJI Lightbridge!

    Ed .... You may have heard about a good SD feed from an NEX but DJI are economical with the truth when it comes to using a GH3 on a non HD gimbal. Look at the little video on the DJI Lightbridge web page detailing how it is possible to run a GH3 thru the slip rings, then look at the part of the...

    We went out tonight to fly the S1000/Lightbridge/ZenMuse/GH3/A2/Nexus7 tablet combination as above less the pilot's lightbridge, fingers tightly crossed.... It linked...it flew out to 250m 70m up...it transmitted an image.... we received it... it landed. Observations... The signal pixalated a...
