    Review of "Build Your Own Drone" and customer service

    I often order from them. Next day service in the UK, every time!

    First and hopefully last FLY AWAY with Naza v2

    True. It would cause less accuracy in GPS hold, so instead of the +/-2m accuracy it may be 3m. Not a big deal. GPS doesn't have full control over the aircraft anyway so it does seem silly when people are scared of GPS modes or blame them for flips of death or what ever. It's the IMU that is...

    Easy(ish). Just unscrew the four little screws underneath and slide the camera back a bit until the gimbal holds position (unpowered) in any direction. You should be able to get it perfect. You can move other little bits around too I think. Just do a little at a time and remember what you've...

    Shame, I liked the guy. Headstrong and pushy. Isn't that what you want in a CEO of a new(ish) company?

    Yeah, you need to rebalance. Even a Zenmuse can produce crap images if it's unbalanced. I used the S800 for the dressage shoot. Horses didn't even blink. Very well trained. Was really noisey flying inside though, I didn't like it. I'm gonna stick one of those shots in my showreel, I can't...

    Such a great thread this turned out to be! I'm slightly jealous of people with the GH3, I would love some 50p action! It seems that I use the same settings as you Quinton, which gives me hope. I tend to stick with ISO160, above 400 you notice the noise and over 800 it sucks. Continuous auto...

    What batteries to buy - Total Noob

    Hi mate. The issue would be that the LIPO wouldn't be able to deliver the necessary current to power the S800. This could either over stress the lipos, causing damage, or the S800 could drop out of the sky. Running two in parallel wouldn't help if they were both 12C, it would only double the...

    Phantom never leaves warm up mode

    Is this your first time trying to get it started? If so, you need to do a CSC (Controlled Stick Command, something like that). You move both sticks down and out to start the motors. It's all in the manual. Any help?

    TBS New York City Round 2!!!

    Well, they say it's for fun yet sell the things they fly. Seems like advertising to me?! The earlier vids, like the ones flying down mountains in between trees, now they were fun and where definitely only with enjoyment in mind!

    It doesn't revert to default settings. You just can't record in 720p. High Bit Rate mode still records at 100MB/s unlike the stock settings which is 24MB/s. You can't render a hack useless because its the core settings that have been hacked.

    Yeah, I have that problem with the 14mm lens, no bloody markings on it. It just spins around and around! I'll have a go with the field tools app, it's about time I broadened my horizons a bit. Not sure why I said infinity, I don't even see the focus it's using on the ground! Just point and...

    DX8 issues with NAZA IOC & Gimbal tilt

    Don't put the blades on! Get it working on the assistant first. Learn about the DX8. We all went through this stage. Read and wait for it to sink in.

    The bicycle video was filmed with a RED Epic. Couldn't say what settings they were using. I love the look of it. Kind of hyper real, like that Judge Dredd movie. I know people like to just use the settings that everybody has been using for many years but settings are there to be experimented...

    GH2 settings

    I personally don't want motion blur for aerial stuff. Your aircraft is moving whilst panning and tilting and the subject is often moving too. It is of course a personal preference. You don't focus in air and hope everything is in focus, you focus on the subject. 99% of the time you'll be using...

    That gear was so big he couldn't turn left more than a few degrees, he called it the Zoolander effect. This was the final video:

    DX8 issues with NAZA IOC & Gimbal tilt

    It is the travel you need to adjust for the Aux 1 channel. Try again. Make sure the servo setup selects that switch as the control for aux 1. For the gimbal tilt, connect the gimbals tilt channel straight to a free channel on your receiver and again select the correct channel/switch selection...
