    Thoughts, Opinions on upgrading to a decent DSLR platform

    Trying to decide to up my game. Doing mostly local event and real estate work. Using pretty common DJI P2 platform now with Hero3 Black, H3-3D gimbal, Immersion VTX, Fatshark Attitude and sometimes Black Pearl 7" LCD. Have both DJI TX and Futaba T8J. Would like a more professional camera and...

    Which way to go - GoPro w/hh stabilizer or just get a camcorder

    I'm getting requests from realtors to do complete jobs - inside as well as out. Already have a P2 with Zenmuse H3-3D and GoPro Black for aerial work. Wondering what would be the better approach to the inside work: Get a handheld stabilizing gimbal and use my GoPro (would likely need to buy a...

    Very Short Flight times - P2 and good batteries

    I have begun to experience very short flight times when hover suddenly cannot be sustained. Started happening just about 4 flights ago and is getting worse. I always fly on fully charged batteries and these batteries and my P2 are fairly new - maybe 25 total flights on both batteries. I...

    No tilt on my Zenmuse H3-3D gimbal on my P2

    Just installed a new Zenmuse H3-3D gimbal on my Phantom 2. All seems to work except it will not tilt down or up. No reaction when moving the lever on the back of the DJI transmitter. This is a replacement gimbal for one damaged in a crash. The other one was identical and the tilt worked fine...

    At the risk of looking totally lame, I want to make sure I don't goof this installation. I have flown my Phantom 2 several times - naked, so to speak. Now that I have finally gotten the new gimbal, I am ready to install everything else and get after learning aerial video. Here's what I have...

    First Flight with F450 - Thanks to many

    Finally at last got it airborne. A few hard landings when I went outside my planned flight envelope. :shame: But, it was cool and now I can concentrate on skills and stick time. I left the gains at 100%. Should I consider adding some values to them? Many thanks to Bart, Grant, and quite a...

    Switch setting on DX8 - cannot seem to communicate in Assistant

    Sorry, this question has probably been answered somewhere, but I can't find it. My receiver is using Gear channel to output to X1 on the NAZA Lite GPS. I'm using a DX8. I have the Gear channel mixed to Aux 2 so I can use a 3 position switch for Attitude, GPS, and Manual modes. I cannot seem...

    DX8 Transmitter for use with F450 and NAZA Lite with GPS

    I have just purchased a low-time F450 with NAZA Lite and GPS. The seller has it set up with a DX6. I fly with a DX8. Can I use his DX6 program file? Does anyone have a current setup for this combination for the DX8? All this is very new to me and I realize there are threads, but they just...

    FAA is blocking commercial use of quads?

    OK, I'm brand new to all this. A person who is selling his rig posted this comment, This craft has been professionally built by me and has been flown for about total 1 hour time. Never crashed as I am a experienced RC freak and have been flying for over 30 years. I am selling because I...
