XPFTP, when you say GP2, you are meaning GoPro Hero2, right? Not the Panasonic GP2? As for video transmitter, if your going with DJI equipment (like the NAZA V2 Bowley recommended), you can also use their video transmitter. I have my DJI VTx hooked up to my Hero3. And if you do go with...

Or does anybody have similar concepts for the S800+Z15?

Agreed. However, we are talking about two separate subjects when it comes to the FAA's future plans. One is certification of the operator and/or aircraft, which is currently occurring and being granted to government agencies and educational institutions, with certification for commercial...

Don't know if you have a Naza or WKM, but I know that if you have a WKM with iOSD, you can look at the logged data is see if one motor is being commanded more than the others. As for your motors revving until you got up there, did you do your CSC to shut the copter down? Or did the receiver...

Just to add further clarity... This FAA position is supposedly temporary until they start granting commercial licenses which is supposed to start in 2014. They aren't even accepting applications either, so it isn't like you can get in the queue either.

I'm just curious what type of connectors people use for connecting video on their MR. I was thinking of using servo connector (Futaba / 'J' type) and using the (-) and signal pins (the two outside ones). Obviously I could go with the usual RCA and/or 1/8" plugs, but was thinking of using the J...

For those interested, I wrote up this detailed procedure for replacing the S800 arms, though the same procedure would be used to replace the ESC for an S800 arm. I want to thank Tony (www.rcrus.com) and Lawrence (www.aerialtechnologies.com) for their help in learning how to do this and all the...

Confirmed! I took my hub in to my job, borrowed a T6, and it worked wonderfully. I guess I'm learning I should post my questions on this forum before I get to a point of frustration. I've been fighting these for 5 days, and on this forum within 5 hours I got the answer that would have saved...

Good! That's consistent with was others had told me. I wasn't planning on switching... I've already built up my collection of 3S nano-techs, so I'm good. Thanks for clarifying!

Ah! That would explain my frustration. (Maybe I need glasses so I can see that small. lol) I think that might explain why the screw part number is "T2X9" instead of the other screws which start with "M". I guess I'll order those now. Thanks Chris! Tim

I am trying to replace the top plate on my S800, and I am having a terrible time removing the 6 anchors for the arms. Each of those anchor points has two silver screws with a smaller than usual hex head (from what I can tell). My personal tool kit goes down to 1.5mm and that was too big. I...

The way I read the new iOSD documentation (page 17, http://download.dji-innovations.com/downloads/iosd/en/iOSD_user_manual_v2.04_en.pdf), the V2 PMU can be connected to the Naza V1. In fact, in implies you need to use the PMU when hooking up the iOSD to the Naza (V1 or V2). Am I reading that...

I could be wrong, but I think the reason the battery charger turns green faster than before on the charger is because the copter is not being flown long enough to use the battery. If the Assistant Software has the wrong battery type (i.e. set to 4S or something), then the voltage protection...

With the gimbal and video Tx, I get about 6 minutes with the 3s 2700mah, and 12 minutes with the 4s 4000mah, and 15 minutes with the 3s 6000mah. If I take off the gimbal and vTx, I can make the 2700mah batteries last 12+ minutes. Eyeball, glad to hear that you're doing well with 4s and 10"...

I have two 4S 4000mah, but that is not recommended for 10" props which I switched to in March. So now I have two 3S 2700mah for simple flying and no camera or gimbal, but then use 3S 6000mah for when I want longer flying time and with camera and gimbal attached.

What jjboy is referring to is in the Assistant Software, not your charger. On the voltage protection page there is a setting for what type of battery is connected to the Naza (sorry, I don't have a Phatnom, but I understand the software is the same as the Naza software). This needs to be set...

A 3s battery at near full charge is 12.6V; charging at 1C for a 4000mah battery is 4A, that means charging one battery requires 50.4watts to charge a 3s 4000mah at 1C. If you want to charge, say a nano-tech, at 5C, then you'd need a 250 watts supply for just one battery. Then doing 2 batteries...

I'll let some of the more experienced guys reply at more length. But from what I understand, if you are loosing altitude just as you are cruising (left, right, forward, back), it is more than likely not related to gains. The gains control the responsiveness of the system to the pilot's...

I saw that uavproducts.com is accepting preorders for the vibration kit and the new arms. They state they would be shipped by mid-May. Though I am sure rcrus.com (where I get most my stuff) and others will be taking orders likewise. I already have my preorder in with rcrus.com for the new...

My only recommendation is be very careful with the HDMI connector, especially. It's about 20 microscopic wires. Otherwise the swapout was pretty simple. You'll want to tuck the wires under the metal plate cover neatly so that you don't have excess wire hanging out. The first time I put it...
