    Naza v2 malfunction [open ocean crash vid]

    Hey Corgi, After replacing my motors and ESCs, everything works fine! I put it in a solution of vinegar and then thoroughly dried everything (the day it happened). I just flew it a week ago, amazed that everything works fine. And mine was very deep for over 15 min.

    I should mention yeehaanow, that it was a bare gopro, no housing. (re: wind noise)

    Naza v2 malfunction [open ocean crash vid]

    Yeah it was a stationary rig. The quad isn't flipped by wind, but by catching on a cable, it slowly drifts back and hits the cable. Yeah if the met reports 10, it could be higher 60ft off the ground at sea, they measure on mabul island. It not only spins but completely stops compensation. I had...

    Naza v2 malfunction [open ocean crash vid]

    >>People like you give us serious guys a bad name, PILOT ERROR and nothing else. I don't understand why you keep trolling this thread repeating the same stuff, we get it: it's poor judgement to fly a computer controlled aircraft in the middle of the ocean. I am a terrible person who gives the...

    Naza v2 malfunction [open ocean crash vid]

    To anyone really looking at the video, you should know that at the moment the compass dies, and the last second before hitting the water, I am vvpeeding the footage down 3x slow. I wanted you to read the text and see the moment the compass stops, and see the water splash, so I slowed it down.

    Naza v2 malfunction [open ocean crash vid]

    You guys make a lot of assumptions. >>The GPS went out of calibration The GPS was calibrated on the deck, it reported it was working fine with no ferro-magnetic disturbance. It then flew fine for 5 full minutes, compass was fine, wind was fine, and I was much closer to the structure than when...

    Naza v2 malfunction [open ocean crash vid]

    Hi guys, I wasn't in manual, I was using GPS atti that's why the wind wasn't blowing me all over. The light indicated compass failure (COMPASS ERROR in manual), so let's not discuss whether or not the thing had an error. I stated it could be my fault for flying near a ferro-magnetic structure...

    Naza v2 malfunction [open ocean crash vid]

    18m or ~60ft for maybe 20 mins (I got my gear on as fast as I could, when I found it the lipo was still bubbling). I will def put floats into my frame in the future. At 18m, the pressure got salt water into everything. Under 1M I think it would have been better. I had to take everything apart...

    Smallest folding quad w/ decent stabilization

    Cross posted from Aerial photography: I would like to have a quad I can toss in with my camera gear on the top of my pelican case, or take out on my bike, or when hiking. What's a good small folding quad? I was looking at this, but see no reviews online...

    First flight video: Frankfurt

    What would you recommend? I would like to make a folding quad, was looking at the Tarot 650, but then I need a gimbal that I can snap on/off rather easily. I would like to take it hiking and walking.

    Frankfurt, I posted a video in another thread.
