Yes sounds like it does support 4s voltage. I just found this on the HK site while researching your unit: "Be very careful if using with the GOPRO. First of all the main supply is incorrect, red is negative and vice versa. When connecting the gopro I found that ground was outputting 12v which...

I have a similar setup, (f450 with a gopro & tarot gimbal) One of the easiest options is to just run it from the gopro battery as this will outlast any flying time anyway, carry spares & just change over after every couple of LiPo changes. Alternatively, if you don't want to take off the...

This is really useful, thanks! Would love to see a similar thread (or part of this one) with the names of different electrical connections & maybe example images... If I need something, I often know what it looks like but have no idea what it's called so finding them can be difficult! Thanks

I'm about to face similar issues, I'm in the process of adding FPV to my quad, is one Antenna type compatible with another, (can you transmit from cloverleaf & receive on patch, or do they have to match?) what have people found to be the best combo or matched type?

Thanks guys, that's really helpful info. Nigel, can you tell me what kinds of setup you tried & problems you had, just so I can get an idea of what sort of things I should avoid? Is the trick finding the right motor & prop combo? or is there more to it than that?

Hi All I want to put together a Hex for carrying my Sony NEX & Gimbal, I'm currently looking at the Tarot 680 Ironman frame but could do with some advise on what motors/ESC's I'll need to use for some steady Aerial Filming. I'm currently flying a DJI 450 flamewheel carrying a GoPro but want...

Can anyone offer advise on this thread? perhaps I posted in the wrong place... http://www.multirotorforums.com/showthread.php?16779-DYS-Gimbal-BGC-2-0-controller Thanks

Has anyone used/tested this gimbal & controller? (DYS gimbal, BGC controller). failing that, if anyone has any good recommendations for a 3-axis gimbal that won't blow the bank, I'd be pleased to hear about it. Thanks

Thanks for the info, I'll take a look tonight.

That sounds fixable? so I just need a c clip... although from memory (i don't have it in front of me) I believe there is still a c clip on the bottom end, should there be another somewhere?

Last flight, the quad (a DJI F450) came down a little heavy, when I tried to fire it up again, one motor wouldn't turn. On closer inspection, the centre shaft had dropped most of the way out the bottom of the motor, if I push it back up the motor turns & I can take off, however don't want to...

Mine does exactly the same, I assumed it was an error until I realised that I already had the latest firmware! It should display which you have & you can check online which the latest version is.

Thanks Maverick. I hadn't realised that. The instructions I got were just assembly, not set-up. That's very helpful!

Thanks, why the split? does that mean it can't be driven from one rx channel? what about the end that plugs into the tarot board, sorry I don't even know the name of the connector, where did that come from? appologies if these are really basic questions!

I'm looking for a little help connecting my rx to the gimbal pitch adjustment. I don't seem to have a cable in the box that fits the rx and the tiny connector on the Tarot board. does anyone know where I can get hold of one of these? Thanks
