Here's a recent video I did with this rig. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5WtzkDd-XE&feature=plcp

Got it!! Manual resetThe connection is fine but the automatic update does not work anyway? If after "Connecting (try to reset hardware and start bootloader)..." is not an "OK" coming up after ~3 to 4 dots than you can do as follows: connect the PCB (i.e. FC) over the ribbon cable direct to...

I think my Navi is froze up! Is there a way to re-flash the firmware? I can't get it to connect to MK-Tool

Bump, I'm also interested!! I personally haven't tried yet as I'm just starting to update my firmware to .88

Probably has been asked, but do you have to re-calibrate your FC board after the update? I haven't read this anywhere. I'm having issues with my Navi not connecting following the update. Trying to figure that out now.

Indeed a lot of great video's with this mount... HOWEVER, if those roller tracks are loose at all and do not HUG the rail, it will jump up and down. When he says his problem was more noticeable than high frequency vibrations - something is seriously wrong in my opinion. He's got something way...

Big movements - do you have a video? One thing I noticed with the AV200, the way they mounted the tracks could have been done better, If the bolt that keeps them in place loosens, then you will experience that problem. I had to position and re-tighten those bolts to ensure there was no wiggle room.

Good point Jes. I'd like to find one that is threaded and not stud'ed. I could then build a two-tier platform that mount under the copter in between the skids.

Ground Resonance - this is a term that I knew when I flew rotary. I know that the impact isn't as severe with our type of machines. However, I guess I'm a little paranoid. When on the ground, there is no way for the vibration energy to escape the frame, and I believe things like the nuts and...

I'm using a 5DMII. My booms and the motor mounts have pre-cut holes to ensure they are parallel. However I can double check but I think I'm fine there. The props are balanced very well. I understand the importance of stopping it at it's source. I want to go further and make sure that I am...

Hey guys, I'm just trying to tweak out some vibrations that I get. Anyone here with a AD8 have a route that they went? I was thinking about under the copter, making another circle that is attached to the underside with something along the lines of http://at.rs-online.com/web/p/products/474-773/...

Is this for sale?

Yes I want to make this a two man effort. So I need another FC and TX/RX. So would I only attach the roll servo to the main FC and have the pan and tilt attached to the second FC? Are guys adding gyros for the tilt? I don't think that it would be that need ESP if the camera man is paying...

The av200 360 has it's own power supply?? Are you using two gyros for vertical and horizontal stabilization?
