    Zenmuse / Futaba Rx connection

    I'll tell you what I did, whether that was the right or smart thing to do (I'm open to anybody scolding me, and/or telling me I should have handled it differently). But I had the same issue, and there is screw (or maybe two) on the vertical shaft that I had to loosen enough to tweak the forward...

    Zenmuse / Futaba Rx connection

    Steve, I'm doing the same thing as you for my single operator setup. I use 9-12 (roll, fwd/dn, tilt, mode) and DG1 (shutter) and DG2 (record) all through SBD-1. That way I only have two wires to move when I switch the setup to dual operator. However, the two that I gave up were HDMI On/Off...

    Newb to the hobby and need advice! :D

    If you are doing photography only, then any simple gimbal will do. In that case, all you are looking for is a way to tilt the camera down and frame the shot by positioning the MR, and click away. If you are doing video, then, yes, the smoother the gimbal the smoother the video. Note that even...

    Newb to the hobby and need advice! :D

    Jello is a when the video becomes slightly distorted due to vibration so that it looks like you are looking at or through jello. It is more predominant on cameras with a CMOS sensor, like the ones in GoPro Hero cameras, and makes it very susceptible to the aircraft vibration when in high light...

    WKM IMU position on the vibration absorber setup

    Hasta ahora me doy cuenta que eres de PR. You soy de Costa Rica (aunque vivo en Iowa ahorita) y voy a llevar mi S800 ahí en setiembre. Disfrute!

    S800 Retracts Moving on Powerup

    I thought I'd see if any gurus here would have an idea first. RCRUS has helped me several times to debug/fix stuff, so I was gonna try them tomorrow or Wednesday. Any answer I get I will post here. FYI, the landing gear did work for a few weeks, then this oddity started, so I haven't used them...

    S800 Retracts Moving on Powerup

    Update: I was wrong about it not doing it if I connected the servo wire after powering up the S800 and the Tx. Tonight I plugged it in after everything was powered up, and it still did it.

    S800 Retracts Moving on Powerup

    For the last month I have been fighting an issue and I've talked to some people about it, but no solution yet. Basically, when I powerup the S800 with the transmitter already powered on, the retract legs go partway up, hold, then come back down. If I powerup the S800 first, then turn on the...

    R7008SB S-Bus with NAZA?

    To answer #1... Yes, reading on this forum and on RCG, some people have got the 7008 to work with Naza and WKM, but others have had problems. As for #2... I am no expert on FRSky products, but I believe you are correct that the telemetry features of FRSky and Futaba are not compatible. I am...

    DJI Release 5.22 Firmware

    Gotcha! Next time maybe caveat that it isn't broken, but that when connected to WKM you loose tilt., which is different. Nonetheless, I understand the frustration for WKM owners when paired with the Hero Zen.

    DJI WKM Flip on motor start up, any ideas

    So you are saying the flip occurred even before you applied the throttle for takeoff? You just armed the MR by doing the CSZc and it flipped? Am I understanding correctly?

    Allowing complete novices to fly a QuadCopter...

    Please do not double post. It is against the forum guidelines. It prevents people from following a comprehensive thread and gather all the pertinent info.

    DJI Release 5.22 Firmware

    How is the Zen H3-2D broken? I have a friend flying it and loves it, and I'm getting mine in the air hopefully tomorrow. I'd like to know any surprises if you can fill me in.

    DJI WKM Flip on motor start up, any ideas

    Ouch! Sorry about that dude. I don't have answers for ya, but just a few questions that might help others as they think about it. - I'm guessing you were taking off in GPS mode based on what you are stating. Is that correct? - Was the WKM LED indicating GPS lock? - Did you remove power...

    WKM IMU position on the vibration absorber setup

    Fj, I'm not at home to confirm my numbers, but I'm quite sure my Z axis is about 20 or 21cm once I determined my vertical COG (which was about 2cm below the bottom plate for me). Which of the GPS mounts are you using? I believe I'm using the longest one. If I remember correclty, my my X (and...

    550 looking for 2 axis gimbal that will work with naza

    I have friends in Minneapolis area that do aerial photography and video. Besides an S800, they also have two F550s with stock motors, 1038 props, with a Sony NEX-7 mounted on a Photoship One MKTR Professional Gimbal. The love that setup, and do quite well with them.

    R7008SB S-Bus with NAZA?

    In my opinion, neither will be doing anything. DJI works with so many receivers and probably doesn't feel the need to support telemetry on this receiver; and Futaba works with so many systems that they probably don't feel they need to change this one receiver to support this one FC. The user...
