I cannot thank all of you enough for taking the time to provide so much good information. REALLY says so much about this forum. I will definitely pay it forward as best I am able.

Hey, any comments/help on ANY of my queries would be greatly appreciated. ... No responses at all makes me think I've done something wrong by asking these questions here or in the way I've done it. I apologize humbly if I've committed some sort of faux pas....

I'm a relative novice to the field and I do try to pay attention to what you experienced pilots say here on this forum. I've learned a great deal but I find myself with a few areas of information that I really would appreciate getting up to speed. Hopefully, your answers will also help other...

Just got my Z15 for my GH2 and there is no cable for connecting the shutter control or the HDMI port included in my box. The manual does not refer to either cable in the "what's in the box" section and the diagram seems to imply that the shutter cable at least should be pre-connected. Am I...

I've heard the custom case made for the S800 was part of a promotion for early adopters and that DJI doesn't plan to sell it independently. That seems strange to me as there would seem to be a demand for the product. I'm interested in getting an S800 with a case. Anybody know of any dealers who...

Thanks for all the good input. I remembered that my little battery tester (Extreme Power Analyzer) has a cell balancing function on it that I've never used. It took an hour to balance but it finally did and then I topped it off with the charger and it fully charged with all cells perfectly...

I've got a 4S 6200 battery that has one cell that won't fully charge. I've re-charged it a couple of times and the questionable cell only tops up to 86% while the others seem fine. Question: how poor must a cell be to consider the battery not worth using? Also, is it possible to rehabilitate a...

I also am curious about how you mount batteries on the S800. Also, is there a consensus on what batteries (without regard to cost) have the most power/weight ratio for heavy lifters like this?

Glad to know I got to the right place. I looked quite a bit and really didn't find much so I figured I was just not clued in. This is an awesome forum and I've gotten so much great info from a number of threads, but I really appreciate this concentration of DJI users. Also, it looks like its a...

Being new to this field, I am very grateful to find this forum and especially the DJI sub-forum. However, I'm wondering if any of you can give me the major boards that you frequent that also discuss WKM and other DJI products. I want to learn as much as I can from other users. THANKS

Well, my stars and little comets. Turns out that I had, indeed, flipped my motors over without realizing it. I reversed them and replaced the props properly and it fles perfectly. I count myself lucky that it flew at all with the motors upside down. Obviously, the yaw was being produced because...

I really appreciate that suggestion. .... Say, let me ask something that may be stupid. You see, this is a Y configuration with one motor above the other upside down. I've got my props labeled so I know which ones go underneath and which ones go on top but I must confess I wasn't as careful with...

I am a newbie here but have some experience with rc. I built a droidworx Y6 with WKM and it flew very well for the first week. However, I had a mishap on landing and broke a boom. After replacing it and re-soldering the motors I took it out for a test. As I lifted off the bird immediately began...
