So today I was doing a test with new batteries to gauge max flight time and I was just bobbing up and down checking thrust and it did the horrible weirdness again. No yawing at all this time, just quick up/down 10' or so with camera and gimbal on. This is a real worry and makes me not so...

Wow!

OK, newbie question... How do I do this. I have been on that page in the assistant but I have always just pressed "calibrate" when I have a full charge. Cancel that.... Just read the sidebar and did what it says to do. Will test and report back.

I actually do have 2 X 5400 lipos on there. Will try 16X5 props and possibly 8-10,000 lipos and see what happens. The U5-400's might be worth considering too...

Sorry for any confusion - it only happens WITH the gimbal and camera on...

Here is a video I did this afternoon showing what I am talking about here. https://vimeo.com/87130325 The issue is clearly visible at 00:24 and again at 00:39. This issue does not seem to take place without the camera and gimbal on.

I am using these props: http://www.rc-drones.com/gemfan-rcd15x5.php I will start to track voltage at the end of each flight and report back. This is what I get in eCalc...

I have a new Carboncore Hex (specs in sig) but in this cold (-5 to -10C) I am only getting around 2.5 minutes with camera and gimbal before first level voltage protection LEDs kick in. Very frustrating as I hope to get far more flight time. I am going to add telemetry to monitor on board power...

Thanks for the input. Everything is good and secure. I updated my sig to be a little more specific about my rig. Still very much a work in progress. Apart from this scary little glitch my biggest problem right now is flight time. It is terrible. With my AUW of 17.5lbs I am getting 2.5...

Nope. Totally different radio. The only thing that the gimbal and hex share is S-bus cable connection from flight controller and power...

I have seen this a couple of times now where all my motors appear to "stutter" and my Hex rocks violently back and forth for a few seconds while my Z15 5D gimbal is on (never without). The first time I noticed this was when I was yawing one way (with Hex) and then went the other way immediatly...

I have been having a hard time getting that part of it to work. I can roll/stop video which is the main thing but I can not snap a picture. I find the 5D desktop assistant really limited.

I don't know but I have a MKIII and a MKII and they both fit into the zen use fine. I did order specifically for the MKIII and that balances better is all I can tell so far. Only 6 flights into it though...

Not sure if it is just my unit like this but he DJI video downlink is wired in such a way that red is negative and black positive. A little counter intuitive. Thought folks might want to know.

Got it working. It wouldn't bind because I had the "pilot" transmitter on at the same time. Duh...

And one more thing... Now when I take the whole rig to another room for flight test I can not seem to bind the RX to the TX. I made no changes. Weird. It took a while to bind the first time and now not at all. Bummer!

Doing my first test flights of my Carboncore H6 with Z15-5D Gimbal and 5D MKIII (24mm lens). Flight tests without gimbal and camera have gone great. Had about 20 so far. Also flew with lead weight and ran all the numbers in eCalc and all seemed good (...

So I have my Z15-5D linked and receiving basic control from my second TX (Futaba T8FG). I am using the Futaba R6208SB RX via Sbus. Roll, Tilt, Pan and Mode are all successfully mapped and working correctly but I just can't seem to get the Shut and Aux 1-3 mapped. Shut (values 606-969) and Aux...

I actually just figured that part out. I am a little slow with this stuff having NOT come from an RC background... Now I need to get gimbal control for the Z15-5D... I am presently using the onboard A2 RX for flight control and hope to use my Futaba R7008SB for Gimbal control. For the first...

Anyone know if I can use the A2 CanBus to get power for my Futaba RX? When I meter the two outermost pins I get 6VDC. Abviously the CanBus is supplying the FC and other items with their power already. Is this wise?
