I'm sure everybody is still confused as to what does and does not work when it comes to combining DJI's Lightbridge with a ZenMuse, DJI FC and your RC gear on something that is not a Phantom. I know I am. This is what I believe is a workable system as suggested by DJI It has a couple of...

Hi I just want to ask some advice and peoples experiences with FPV tray monitor combo's. I'm looking at getting a nice simple solution for an upcoming job, needs to be modular, robust & pack as flat as possible although i'm open to suggestions on this one. Using a DX18 & graupner MX20 with 7"...

Serious question, did your instructor tell you how to use it and interpret the results? If not, why did he suggest it? andy

You're spot on Dave. It will only give a picture in the area of takeoff at ground level. It will also only look at the 2.4GHz band. Our only experience with control being interfered with was not 2.4 related, it was cell phone frequencies from a set of masts at the far end of a flight. RF...

The real question I want an answer to is why DJI unilaterally introduced the use of 5.8GHz for RC control and not simply use 2.4GHz. Leaving 5.8 available for video downlink, like everyone else. Was it the lack of suitable chips, poor design decisions, attempting to lock people into the DJI eco...

Has anyone read the back of the Lightbridge units? They are FCC & CE approved so must neither cause or be susceptible to interference. If they are then they are illegal and cannot be offered for sale. The rules are pretty tough, personal experience recently getting a new scientific instrument...

Ahhh... Leisure Lakes ! Lec used to race there and built the dirt jumps for some competitions. Fond memories of that place. andy

Thanks for the replies guys. Feel more reassured now. andy

My quandary is a mismatch between magnetic and GPS true north and whether it will confuse the FC. I'm not sure a compass calibration dance will hold true once you are away from takeoff position and flying over the anomaly, even if its only a few hundred metres away. As far as I can discern the...

Dave, I'd suggest booking a flight test now with Resource for one of your craft as a taster. You can then see them in action. You will not be disappointed. Then cancel EuroUSC and claim a refund. A lot of your craft are similar so you may get multiple craft ticked off on that one flight test. andy

We have an upcoming shoot flying over mountains that are well known to badly affect compasses. Has anyone experience with flying in these type of locations? Should we avoid, take care or ignore the effect? andy

Dave, Similar frustration with EuroUSC to your's. We've totally given up with them, would not recommend them to anyone for any reason at all. No response from them over several issues, including renewal. They do absolutely nothing proactively, we were always ahving to remind them over things...

The RClogbook also uses barcodes for battery logging, also to identify craft. andy

Not the post but we've found this and it looks quite useful http://clevertangerine.com/RCLogbook/ andy

Thanks for posting that. CAA taking the sensible, cautious approach which is good. andy

On an NEX7 the only video output is via the mini HDMI connector on the side of the body. Video via the USB connector is used on some other makes of camera such as Canon and is a non standard use of that interface. So do check the NEX is outputting a good HDMI signal. If it does the fault is on...

Take the NEX off the gimbal, connect the HDMI output to a suitible TV and make sure the camera is actually outputting an HDMI signal.

This is what I saw on my screen .... I say no more!

One word to describe all this ..... fudge.
