    If you lose a prop whats better a quad or a hex?

    The manual says it will. "Y" or "iY" configuration.

    If you lose a prop whats better a quad or a hex?

    X8 Octo! :D Here are a couple of tests I did the other day because someone told me it wouldn't work. One prop off. Two props off. When it was a flat octo I had an ESC die and the front prop stopped and I only noticed it when the prop stopped turning. It was fully loaded with a...

    Triggering a camera automatically

    Yes, T is F1 and R is F2. The older manuals used to have a section on gimbal control but in the current one I can only see it mentioned in the "Port Description" section on page 19. http://download.dji-innovations.com/downloads/wkm/en/WooKong-M_Quick_Start_Guide_v1.10_en.pdf DJI could be...

    Triggering a camera automatically

    Ah, yes, I forgot about that. The F1 and F2 are motor outputs so you use the T and R inputs as outputs for the gimbal. Sorry about the confusion.

    Triggering a camera automatically

    Yes, if you use S bus then you only have one input wire from the RX so F1 and F2 are free and can be used for gimbal control. You can actually use spektrum and JR that way with an S Bus converter. I tried it on mine using spektrum and it worked fine. The gimbal control wasn't worth a crap so I...

    Triggering a camera automatically

    I don't know about triggering a camera but if you are using an S bus RX you can still use the F1 and F2 for gimbal control on an octocopter. I would assume it would work for triggering a camera as well.

    X8 owners - do not use Wookong firmware v5.26

    I've been using 5.26 since it came out with no issues on my X8. Used "Go Home" several times with no issues.

    Carbon Fiber Props Deteriorating ~ Failing

    I just got a set of APC 16" MR props for my X8. I wanted to test the motor and ESC temps and flight time before dark so I bolted them on without checking the balance. The video had absolutely no vibration at all so they can't be too far out. Of course I will take them off and check the balance...

    No audio alert when Wookong-M powers up

    Nope, it's the motors.

    brushlessgimbals.com Cinestar conversion - any good?

    Actually you can get the pitch and roll cages from Aliexpress (FamousHobby) and they are quite a bit cheaper. Just send them a message. I got mine there and they came in less than a week.

    DJI iOSD Mark II - Convert meters to feet

    I wish the display was in feet also. I can figure it out pretty close but I have to really think about it. Also, the artificial horizon on mine operates backwards. Instead of tilting with the horizon it tilts the direction I am tilting. Not really a big deal since I hardly look at it.

    brushlessgimbals.com Cinestar conversion - any good?

    Interesting...... i see the pan axis conversion on the Famoushobby site but not the tilt and roll. Am I just missing them?

    Offsetting front arm on an octo to keep it out of camera view

    Cool! That is exactly what I'm thinking of doing. I haven't gotten around to it yet though for one reason or another. Does anyone know of a place to get 90 degree clamps for 25mm booms that aren't ridiculously expensive?

    DJI Released New Firmware 5.24 for WKM

    I think my drifting problem was related to the smaller props I was using on my iron man octo somehow. I tried 14" props on my smaller sunnysky motors and the drifting was gone and it flew perfectly. The props were a little too big for them I think so I upgraded to TMotors 3515 400KV and it flies...

    DJI Released New Firmware 5.24 for WKM

    I tried 5.24 over the weekend and RTH works but I am having another problem that I had on 5.22 as well. I can adjust the compass to where it will fly straight ahead with no TBE flying one direction in GPS mode but when I turn it around and fly the other direction it pulls to the right and toilet...

    THIS IS REAL: Colorado town to consider drone hunting license, bounty

    Good grief! What a bunch of idiots! I know it is absolutely impossible but what do they think would happen if one of them actually did shoot down a government drone? Hmm, I do have a couple of old frames with cheap, worn out motors on them. Maybe I could throw them in the air and then shoot...

    Strange Behavior....Video

    It sounds to me like when a prop goes out of track or something, not the motor speeding up. What kind of props are you using? If your yard is like mine then if you killed the weeds there wouldn't be anything left. Lol

    Strange Behavior....Video

    All i can tell from the video is that you have some serious vibration issue going on. Does one of the motors have seriously bad bearings? Is one of the props going out of track?
