Thank you for the reply. I've acquired 2 nVidia Shelid tablets.

I don't want an Apple tablet. I want an android tablet that people know works well with the Inspire 1 Pro X5. I have heard the NVidia Shield is a strong performer. Other options I was looking at are Samsung. I don't want an under powered one that will lock up during flights. Thanks in advance.

Hi, I first joined this forum in 2012 asking for advice. I'm thankful for the tips and guidance members gave me. The only MR I've had is a DJI F550, first flew in late Sept 2012. For the first year or more I only flew a goPro Hero 2 under it, no gimbal. Early in 2014 I acquired a used Sony...

I'm considering buying a DJI S900 kit which includes the flight controller and Zenmuse gimbal. I currently have a Sony Sony NEX 6 w 16MM 2.8 lens but DJI offers a gimbal only for the NEX 7. Does anyone know if The Zenmuse for the NEX 7 will adapt to an NEX 6. Does the Zenmuse for NEX require a...

Thanks for your help John Thorn

THanks for all the help Johthorn. So are you saying the Gentled IR shutter I have will not trigger video start/stop at all.... or the DX8 switch will not?

Thanks again for all the help. Aux 3 was tied up with something else. I was able to figure out how to program a 3 pos switch in this case FN, to fire the gentLED shutter trigger on Aux 2. Moving it one way starts the NEX 6 shotting stills, about 1 every 4 seconds. I had hoped that moving the...

Thanks for all the tips. I stay moving one direction or another now while descending and avoid the wobbles. I think I'll avoid adjusting the gains as my F550 is sluggish already when flying the Sony NEX6 underneath. Loving the photos from the NEX after flying a gopro for over a year. Here is...

DJI F550 Wobbles in place (not toilet bowl) while descending unless I descend slowly. This happens both with and without the load of a camera. Any ideas what I should adjust with the NAZA assistant? At one line below the central hover line on my DX 8 throttle I get the wobbly descent. Any...

Thanks for the tips John Thorn. I'll see what I can do. No sure I know how to program the DX8 to "assign a 3 pos switch to aux3"

Thanks for the tip W. I've made a bracket and will upload pics of it ASAP for others who might need a similar solution.

Trouble is the connector on the GentLED IR trigger has a ridge on one side, preventing my from plugging into the received for my DX8. (AR8000)

GentLED shutter trigger hook up w NAZA and DX8 HELP ! I've bought an GentLED IR shutter trigger for my Sony NEX I'm looking to fire the shutter via my a switch on my Spectrum DX8. The wire connector on the end of the IR shutter trigger has a raised edge preventing my from plugging it...

Expecting UPS to drop of my NEX 6 w 16MM 2.9 lens. Looking to mount this under my DJI F550. I have no gimbal and don't really want one at this point. Besides the F550 is probably maxed out on weight with just the camera and rigid mount. I plan on fashioning my own camera mount out of...

Thanks Colin. I've ordered a product made by that company. Thanks for your help. This is what I ordered: http://www.quadrocopter.com/gentLED-IR-Shutter-Cable-for-Sony_p_446.html
