I'm a satisfied customer. Had no problem swapping out a defective early Zen H3-2D last year. Went on to purchase s800 EVO and numerous add-ons and spares and etc. even though I'm in CT, I've visited the shop in MD a couple of times. It's a first-rate operation in my experience. I would love it...

Don't do what? He would flatten the midpoint of the throttle curve to give a slightly wider center range of throttle stick positions that will keep altitude steady. This slight non-linearity in throttle response achieves an easier vertical hold, a result that has nothing to do with GPS. Steve

Yes, that's of great help! Just ordered one, in fact. Steve

NAZA v2 with current (or recent) firmware employs altimeter-based altitude hold only when the throttle is nearly perfectly centered, assuming DJI ESCs or properly calibrated 3rd party ESCs. You should be able to verify the range of throttle stick positions corresponding to 'centered' by looking...

I learned the hard way years ago when assembling high-end RC buggies and trucks with literally hundreds of hex screws, *never* use 'allen keys', brand new or otherwise. I think you will be much happier if you invest in high-quality hex drivers that use replaceable tips made of hardened steel...

The manual suggests placing the A2 IMU at a 'low vibration position', going on to say that 'Based on DJI's experience, there is less vibration near the aircraft's center of gravity.' Since the IMU software configuration includes specifying its position relative the CG in terms of X, Y, and Z...

I believe one of the distinguishing features of the so-called 'Premium' edition s1000 kits is that the arm locks are anodized aluminum. So using this material is not just a theoretical possibility. Presumably the first units used CNC aluminum parts before, the injection molded parts became...

Have you ever elected not to fly based upon an RFExplorer readout at a potential launch site? What does it show when you turn on your transmitter and a link is established with a receiver? What would it show at a flying field where there could be several 2.4 GHz radios active simultaneously...

Which frequency range(s) did you choose to monitor? Is 2.4 GHz 'enough' (assuming one isn't running a 900MHz data link)? Steve

Thanks CBS for putting all this info in one place! Have you flight-tested the ESCs configured in this manner yet? Steve

Using A2 for direct ESC calibration May want to check out this thread from elsewhere: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2126826&page=5 It contains the following exchange regarding ESC calibration using the A2 controller directly: ********************** CG Photo: "I was able to...

Well this may be a moot point now that you've sent the hardware back to DJI. But if I'm understanding the way you had things hooked up, the connections don't seem to match those from the current version (v 1.14 11-FEB-2014) of the A2 User Manual. Specifically see page 38 which illustrates DJI's...

If you do a little searching you can find descriptions of a couple of small parts that are available from Futaba/Hobbico that will add sprung self-centering to the throttle axis. About a month ago I filled out an online Futaba support email form requesting specific costs and part numbers for...

Very nice, thanks for sharing! Can't tell exactly but might it be possible to mount the screen to the inside of the case lid? Then maybe you could open & use with case bottom attached to a tripod. Would need to add method to hold the lid open too, I suppose. Finally thanks also for posting the...

Thanks for the earlier pics of your MRs! Your comments, below, reflect important factors for all of use would-be 3D printers to consider carefully. Can you share what printer(s) and CAD sw you would recommend? Steve

Just to set the record straight, the s800 has composite ('plastic') arms. The s1000 has cylindrical carbon fiber arms. Steve

Can't quite follow the logic here. Is this based on the fact that it's DJI equipment, regardless of material or construction? Is it based on the crafts themselves or the FCs or what?. While there is certainly some family resemblence between the s800 and the s1000, a primary concern with the...

For the record, Tahoe Ed and Bladestrike are actively responding on behalf of DJI here and are passing on info and concerns to their DJI contacts. Steve

"Right now, that is all that is available" suggests that 'more' might be available in future. Is this a possibility that is being evaluated or developed? Steve

The iOSD data overlay is added to the composite feed from the GoPro/Zen H3-2D which is then sent to the air end of the video transmitter link. The GoPro records only the original video, it does not even 'know' that the iOSD is there. The connection order you describe is consistent with the mini...
