    Help!, s800 problem, any ideas?

    Hey, Certainly got problems! Seems like a power connection problem with that arm. When you switched the arm the problem went away? If not then it's the arm mounting hub in the frame. You can hear the ESC rearming meaning the power is going off then on again. Try resoldering the connections and...

    This has to be the stupidest use of a quad yet!

    The most pointless use of a UAV so far! Have people forgotten about CCTV cameras?!

    Mixing different motors types on multicopter

    I wouldn't recommend mixing motors. They may have the same specs but could handle slightly differently. :02.47-tranquillity:

    Field Charging?

    I vote for a generator. You get a proper domestic voltage and you can boil water for your cup of tea. :)

    zenmuse gh3 pitch control

    I see what you mean now. Won't change the characteristic, just slows the turn rate down with end points. So yes, it will keep turning with a potentiometer until you center it again. I like this feature because many of my videos that look like I have a two man set-up are just one man as you can...

    zenmuse gh3 pitch control

    Try adjusting your end points on the transmitter. And check the operation of the potentiometer on the monitor screen to fine tune it.

    Naza-M V2 Fly away

    RTH is a last resort feature, hence the term failsafe. If you want to operate professionally the law (in the UK) states that failsafe must be working and you must be sure it works by testing it.

    HDMI GH3 No Video

    Don't thank me. I just asked a bunch of irrelevant questions as usual! You sorted that all by yourself! :)

    Zenmuse GH3 High Frequency Vibration

    There was a few posts on the forum when the Zenmuse GH3 first came out about noisy motors and vibration. I believe you have to send the Zenmuse back to your supplier for replacement. I would recommend contacting your dealer.

    Help!, s800 problem, any ideas?

    Hmmm. I had a motor stop and start a month ago. For me the problem was the arm wasn't snuggly attached to the frame mount as it had become loose from carrying it around for 8 months. In my case I replaced the arm and the problem stopped. Check the frame mount for the arm and that the contacts...

    THE first flight test of DJI A2 FC firmware upgrade V2.1

    I can't see the benefits of the A2...yet. WKM have been around a little while and I think most of us have tried them in our commercial rigs. They work well enough. The A2 seems like an upgrade rather than a replacement for the WKM. I don't own an A2 so have no informed comment but Droider has...

    HDMI GH3 No Video

    WooHoo! Sounds like you're narrowing down the problem. Can you not just leave the bypass in place? You're then ready to go out and start flying!

    DJI F450/NAZA Flyaway

    And you mentioned RTH activated at 2.4km. That happens to be the range of 2.4GHz systems. Check RTH is in fact activating correctly and you have bound the controller it RTH mode. And try to assign a switch for RTH, you won't have to turn off the controller then!

    DJI F450/NAZA Flyaway

    WooHoo! That is great news! Just structural damage by the looks of it. The electronics are the expensive part. PS - Lens cap! HA! :lemo:

    Just as you thought it was safe to buy that GH3, along comes the 4K version ...

    Looks lovely. Glad they kept the same basic design. Can't wait to hear about the specs. The article mentions an official release end of February so don't spend all your Christmas money yet!

    DJI F450/NAZA Flyaway

    Really feel for you mate! Hope you get it back. Which city was it? Might be someone on the forum who's in the area.

    DJI F450/NAZA Flyaway

    Hey mate, So you lost it? Damn that sucks :dejection:. The 20m is only the minimum altitude. If below that it goes up to it. If above that altitude it stays at current height and RTH. The fact it flew away in the first place probably means RTH wasn't going to work. Not having the aircraft back...

    HDMI GH3 No Video

    Hey Matt, I don't think the problem is your monitor. If it displays the live feed then it should display whilst recording. I just read this review and he mentions the 'Lumix Link' stops during recording (at the end of the second blog post, Thursday 3rd January): http://gh3tips.blogspot.co.uk/...

    British MR fliers UNITE

    Hey mate, Yeah, any licensed company can join Sub20. I think using a UAV for commercial filming comes under the CAA guidelines whether inside or out. Not sure though. Cheers!
