I use spektrum radios with my aircraft and zenmuse gimbals… what do you need to know?

Flydigital: I have encountered similar problems while trying to setup an APM 2.6 board. Here is what I have figured out... First off, there are two software packages. One is "Mission Planner" and the other is "APM 2.0". I think the link that PhillNZ posted applies primarily to "Mission...

To those who have used thermal cameras (IR)... which camera did you use and how did you mount it? And what do you get from it (stills/video)? I have been looking at a number of systems. It would seem that if I used a handheld FLIR type of cam, it might be best to remove it from the handheld...

Thanks Dave. That seems to have done the trick. I did read the posts, but clearly I missed the upgrade of the rx. Guess I have to read them twice!

It appears that I have 1.0. But when I click to check for updates, it tells me that there are no newer versions (DJI website says 1.0 also). How did you get 1.1? Thanks.

Could you guys post the bind/link procedure that you are using? I am using a dx18 also, and all of my sats are dsmx. I cannot get the A2 to bind to my dx18. I tried all of the rx settings in the assistant software with no luck. One specific question: Since Futaba and Spektrum have different...

Could you guys post some more info about the companies that provide insurance? I imagine that there are many of us that would be interested. Thanks!

I might recommend being very cautious flying your aircraft before finding the problem. I had a similar experience happen last year. My quad (over 100 flights) began to drift away from me, pulling back on the stick I had no control and the copter began to descend slowly (thankfully) and came...

BTW, do you actually have the Z15G? If I am not mistaken, the G model of the Z15 is for the panasonic GH-2 camera. The N model(s) of the Z15 are for the sony nex cameras. I would be very curious if the G model could be used with a sony camera as this relates to a question I posted in another...

I'm not sure if this will help as I mainly shoot video and don't have my system set up to fire the shutter remotely. In order to get the nex5 to work with a remote control, you must change the settings. Under the Camera menu, choose "Drive Mode" and select "Remote Commander" to allow the camera...

I had the same problem, here was the solution that worked for me. On the nex5, go into the setup menu. Under HDMI Resolution, choose 1080i (not 1080p). This seems to be the requirement for the zenmuse to send out the video. It will not affect the recording of the video on the nex5. That is, it...

Has anyone put a nex 7 camera on a nex 5 zenmuse gimbal? I have compared the two gimbals (nex 5 and nex 7 version) and the two appear to be the same, with the exception of the positioning of the components. The part that triggers the shutter (I'm not sure what it is called) looks like it also...

Kloner makes a very good point. Different modes may respond differently to trim adjustment. I might also say that our flying preferences play a part also. I have a buddy that flys like his a$$ is on fire all the time. He almost always flys in manual mode. His copters are setup to be very quick...

This is another thing that I would like to hear from DJI about. From what I can tell, the calibration window is just a monitor of the sensors, and only calibrates when you click the button. I have worked with a number of DJI systems and a few others, and if your calibration was off by a large...
