    Am I doing the right thing?

    Who did you go with for insurance? I went with John Heath and they are very good. Cover everything from training period to crashes caused by firmware updates. And you can add on things for specific jobs.

    wookong: i can't calibrate the compass!!!

    Nope. Just remember your transmitter settings (which ever value you change to activate FS and MAN). For instance I know that my transmitter is 42 for FS and 82 for manual. Cool?

    I thought many people were flying them already? Check out the Droidworx section.

    wookong: i can't calibrate the compass!!!

    Once you've calibrated your compass (well done by the way) just switch it back to the GPS/ATTI/FS configuration. That's also how I have mine.

    Am I doing the right thing?

    I didn't fly in Manual as I don't use it in real life on a big rig. I fly mostly GPS when outside in normal circumstances.

    wookong: i can't calibrate the compass!!!

    I switch from GPS to ATTI to Manual exactly 7 times. Try 6 then 7 then 8 etc. Don't just keep flicking upto 10/15 times, do a set number each time methodically then start again.

    DIY camera mount on skids of S800...

    I also think vibration will be an issue. But give it a go and see what happens. Maybe you'll be lucky. It's not just vibration but as AboveAllAP mentioned the movement of the aircraft as it will be making constant corrections to stay in one place, unless there is no wind. Good luck.

    End of a two day shoot and had a motor failure.

    That's the same video I saw. His ESC was also arming and disarming each time. Mine isn't. I'm actually quite sure it is where the arm meets the hub. The locking pin is loose compared to the others. I have more lateral movement in that one arm than the others. The movements are entirely normal...

    Am I doing the right thing?

    Sounds like you're doing the right thing to me! I did the RPQ-S qualification and found it brilliant. Don't worry about the flight test, it is quite straightforward. There's two parts to it. First, manual dexterity where you fly to four points (with your camera pointing down) tail-in and read...

    How would I share the IOSD data with you guys? File size is too large for normal forum upload (32Mb).

    Here's some clips from the shoot, not graded or anything, just cut and paste: Cheers!

    S800EVO+wookong+GH3: recomended VOLTAGE setup?

    I have 21.8v for first level and a volt less for second level. New lipos also drop faster during the first ten flights till they're broken in a bit.

    End of a two day shoot and had a motor failure.

    PS - Does anyone know where I can get a complete CW Green LED S800 arm in the UK. All the usual suppliers are out. I think it would easier to make a claim in the event of an accident if the manufacturers done all the soldering and not me. They can't use the 'user modified' get out clause I've...

    End of a two day shoot and had a motor failure.

    I'm still looking into the problem. Really can't replicate it on the bench. I'm using firmware 5.22. The only difference with this last shoot was we carried it around by the arms all over the place and in the back of small cars. I really thought it might be the frame arm mounting points but they...

    End of a two day shoot and had a motor failure.

    Hi everybody, So I was in the last minute of a two day shoot and one of my motors failed on my S800 at about 50m. Well, it kind of failed. Stopped for two seconds, came on again, then off for two seconds, then on etc. I was quite surprised when a prop just stopped, especially since the S800...

    DJI Zenmuse GH3 - Startup issues - Video

    There's known problems with the GH3 Zen. Apparently they'll release an update in the future. There's a few posts on here about it somewhere.

    Question about fail safe and signal loss

    Yeah, gains look good.

    5.8Ghz power levels in the UK

    That's what I also read. Shame.

    Question about fail safe and signal loss

    I admit my NAZA-M is solid and doesn't drift or drop at all. It just sits there so I don't know what's going on with yours. Something has changed but I don't know what. Hope you figure it out mate. What gains are you using?

    Take free flying lessons from this guy!

    No, it's not :nevreness:. You can't set different expos for the NAZA or WKM. Expo is all done via your transmitter. If your transmitter has different expo functions for flight modes then you can. Let's not confuse people here.:02.47-tranquillity:
