    Spectrum Analysers in UK

    Hi all, I use the same analyser as mentioned above (RF Explorer). I know next to nothing about this kind of thing but scan at every location nonetheless. I am just looking for strong interference that could swamp the transmitter signal. To date, I have not found anything that would stop me...

    Planning on Parallel Batteries

    Yes, it's very common to put two lipos in parallel. All you need is a parallel harness thingy. Can your aircraft handle the weight of lipos that heavy?

    Tethered MR Flights - does anyone use this technique

    I've been trying to find the video that was posted on here a few months back of just such a device. It was a truck mounted tethered multi. The airframe was like that military one that looks like a flying bucket, props enclosed. Looked pretty good for border patrol stuff.

    Nex7 or gh3

    Great choice! Me too. The GH3 Zenmuse needs a specific lens, the Olympus something something. It states it in the specs on the Zenmuse product page.

    Nex7 or gh3

    Nope. I use a 14mm panasonic. Depends on what gimbal you're planning on using.

    Nex7 or gh3

    Yes of course. They are both the same for photos but video is better on a GH3.

    GH3 for video. :nevreness:

    Generally speaking, 2-axis vs. 3-axis camera mounts

    Hey mate, No expo. I use dual rates on a proportional slider. Real slow in the beginning and end. I wish I could show some of the broadcast TV stuff I've been doing recently. It's nothing but pan and yaw whilst moving in complicated flight paths....one-man!

    Generally speaking, 2-axis vs. 3-axis camera mounts

    Hey, I do things a little differently and get great results. I use the 'non-orientation lock' and control the yaw and tilt via the gimbal as I find the gimbal yaws much smoother than the MR. I also don't have retracts so just yaw the MR to keep the skids out of the way. The skids are really...

    NAZA MC and Zenmuse GCU vibration mounting

    Ditto. I use that stuff too. Lasts forever and re-usable. The Zenmuse GCU is just a wiring hub. What do you mean by unwanted movements?

    colin guinn booted from DJI

    How come you posted in this thread? If you don't do the correct setup procedure then flyaways will always be an issue. There does seem to be quite a few reports of flyaways. I've been flying DJI for a few years and have not had any problems.

    Massive range problem

    WooHoo! :nevreness:

    Recommend a charging station for me!

    Great choice! Thanks the charger I want/need :nevreness:. I don't really know what an acceptable IR is, but my 6S 5000mah lipos read between 1.3-2.1mΩ per cell after 1 year of use if that helps.

    Editing Software ??

    I have to totally agree there. Warp stabilizer is just amazing! I've stabilized a few clips for colleagues and they all went out and bought Premier Pro afterwards. :nevreness:

    Tethered MR Flights - does anyone use this technique

    I think the tethered approach does negate many of the safety issues of untethered flight. The chap I saw demonstrating his system had it literally on a retractable dog lead. To bring it down he just pushes the switch and down it comes. He still used a transmitter on the ground to...

    Left stick - down decent...

    Yes, it will. If the cut-off is set to immediate the motors will stop if the throttle is below 10%. If set to intelligent you will have three seconds before the motors cut-out. Solution: Don't drop your throttle below 10%.

    is my LiPo toast already?

    A cell at 1.5v is bad. Have you checked it with another lipo checker in case the charger is being strange? I would put that lipo somewhere safe, like outside! What brand lipo is it?
