    S800 does great in windy conditions!

    Here is a video from a demo day at a RC field in VT. I am a member of the club. I fly a lot of RC planes and copters and I have 3 DJI video MRs. And I have over 2000 hrs of full scale flying a lot of it instrument time. This one is a 6 month old S800 and Z15, with over 100 flights on it all...

    Client demo flight with S800 and Zenmuse

    This is the raw footage of a demo flight for a client that signed on to have us shoot aerials this summer of their "attraction" we already do a lot of video to promote them TV spots and web video and Kiosks for tradeshows and visitors centers. They were blown away (no pun intended) by the...

    I just got the new S800 vibe dampening kit to try!

    I just got a package from China. I had not ordered anything so I was a bit surprised. Well it was straight from DJI. And it contains the new vibe dampening system. I had replied to their request for testing the kit. And I had emailed them as well as talked to Patrick at ArealMediaPros about...

    Launching S800/Zenmuse WKM from a moving boat???

    I would like to know if anyone here has recommendations for the best way to do this. Is it OK to plug the battery in while moving and thus have the WKM initialize while being tossed around? Or is it safest to at least be on shore for startup so initialization is on stable ground and then carry...

    Good News on DJI warranty...

    About 6 weeks ago I had an unexplained gimbal issue and stability problem with my NAZA that I wrote about here. I sent the NAZA unit back to my dealer and he sent it back to DJI (Empire I believe). I was i a rush to get flying again, so I bought a new NAZA and it works perfectly with the gimbal...

    Zenmuse V2 HDMI board installation caution...

    First the good news. The on off rec video works as well as take photo. At least in my initial trial hooked to the assitant sw. This is great news. I have the NEX-5n version. The bad news for me, I broke the HDMI cable removing it from the V1 board, so the video signal is no longer getting...

    Soldering S800 ESC and Motor to new DJI arms HARD landing...

    I have to replace 2 arms I cracked landing hard. I was stupid, I switched to manual close to the ground and at 50% throttle the 800 drops like a rock in Manual. Only switch to manual before takeoff or with lots of altitude and be ready to throttle up. This was on my third flight with the 800...

    S800 WKM Zenmuse test

    Not a lot of wind but enough to knock the S800 around a bit. 3-4mph gusting maybe 12-15mph a few times. You could see the 800 get kicked about a bit. I was real happy to see how well the Zenmuse handled it. This is raw footage no post stabilization. Flying with 2 6000 30-70c in parallel...

    POI problems

    Maybe I just can't interpret the manual. But I can't seem to get POI working on my WKM, latest FW installed 2 days ago. I set it to control 2. Assigned a 3 position switch, and it shows correctly in the Assistant SW when switching modes. However when flying the course lock works fine. But I...

    Really impressed by WooKong and Z15

    Wow, I just made my maiden flight with the new S800 and Z15 with DJI 5.8ghz video link and iOSD (not markII), but i will down load the upgrade as soon as it is available. It took about 8 hrs to put it all together and program 2 Futaba T8FG supers to control the ship and Zenmuse. I have a F450...

    Weight and handling of F550 with gimbal and FPV

    I am flying a stock ESC and Motor 550 with Naza GPS and a 2 axis gimbal and a FPV cam. This is what I am getting for flight times and the weight of rig. These are 3cel Onyx Lipos Now the max rated takeoff weight is 2400g, but I must say flying a little heavy handles pretty much the same as...
