    Set of five S800 v1 booms with ESC's

    I was going to remove all the ESC's to install in EVO booms and messed up removing the first one. So decided to just buy a set of ESC's for the EVO's. That is why there are only five booms here. They function perfectly (as perfectly as V1 booms can) and could be useful either as complete spare...

    T-Motor 15x5 carbon props for S800 - risky.

    So I tried a set of these and yes, they do sound different to the stock DJI S800 props. They lack the aggressive buzz. But otherwise I saw nothing different with performance. What I didn't like, because the T-Motor props are slightly longer than the standard DJI props, was the really small...

    A big HURRAH for Secraft - a throughly honourable company

    This is a big HURRAH for Secraft and their positively glowing attitude towards customer satisfaction. I ordered the Secraft retracts when they first appeared at the beginning of this year. In response to an email I sent simply asking for clarification of the reports I had seen about...

    S800 Retracts problem

    Although this has been mentioned in the 'Rant' thread I want to cast the net again in my search for a solution, since the dïckjerks at DJI are prevaricating and wasting time over pennies. The issue is that, although they apparently worked normally when first installed (a few weeks ago) since...

    Squashing a GH3 into the GH2 Zenmuse with a Secraft conversion - will it balance?

    Like an idiot I went and sold my spare GH2 before the GH3 arrived. I have had the Secraft GH3 conversion kit sitting around for a while whilst I ummed and ahhed over whether to bother with the GH3 at all. There are only two reasons why I ordered the GH3: the ridiculous HDMI issue on the GH2 and...

    DJI S800 retracts don't function after IMUv2 upgrade ... WHAT ??

    AT the risk of double posting I decided to start a new thread on this because a) it might get seen by those who do not follow the IMUv2 thread and b) I want to find a quick solution to this rather baffling issue. First off the rig: S800/WKM w/ IMUv2/Z15G/DJI retracts/iOSD/bluetooth LED...

    The DJI rant thread

    There are one or two posts that credit a couple of DJI representatives with attempting to be helpful but these are lost in the swathe of posts of frustration or anger with DJI for their lack of customer concern, particularly with regard to their 'upgrade' policy where original equipment has...

    GoPro 3 ... and a half

    Do we know about this? The Aussies (& Kiwis) have come up with their own GoPro. Turned the sensor through 90° but otherwise appear to use pretty much the same case and fittings.

    S800 / WKM / Z15 : ideal WKM gains? Is FW5.20 reliable?

    There must be a whole load of bog standard S800/WKM/Z15 setups out there and I suspect that very few folks use the default gain values as they all seem a bit high and possibly too reactive for AP. How about those with this standard setup posting their gain settings so that we can get an idea of...

    S800 Anti-Vibration kit : reely scientific evaluation

    This was to have been a late entry for the "Why use a Multi-Rotor" competition - except that closed about six months ago - but, as it contains vital and useful information, I have decided to post it anyway. As any S800 operator knows, the DJI S800 with the Wookong M Flight Control...

    Backtracking WKM firmware

    I am told one can go backwards, i.e. from FWv5.18 to FWv5.16, but a) how to get the older firmware package and b) how to load it? The default firmware process is all geared towards upgrading via an internet connection, rather than from a local file. Anybody know where to get 5.16 and load it?

    DJI S800 prop pitch

    Does anyone know the pitch of the standard DJI S800 15" flat carbon props? Firstly, I would like to change them anyway and secondly, I also want to get some steeper pitched props to cope with higher altitudes, but I would prefer to know the 'starting point' pitch to avoid buying unnecessary...

    New Z15's woeful idea of horizontal

    How precise can one expect the Roll axis to be at its default horizontal setting - default as in 'FPV Mode'? Having finally shelled out for the whole S800/WKM/Z15 package I am severely less than impressed. After the initialisation dance the Z15 Pan axis settles in all sorts of places and then...

    SJ-800. Yes or No?

    I currently have a whole DJI system on order - SJ-800, WKM & Z-15. The Z-15 is holding the whole thing up coz it ain't in stock and that gives me a little time to consider the rest of the order. The SJ-800 Shangri'la Wings is only on the shopping list as an airframe to carry the bit I really...

    Panasonic HDC-SD9 HD video camcorder kit + extras

    The Panasonic HDC-SD9 remains one of the physically smallest 1920 x 1080p25 camcorders. It is also unusual in that it was one of the last Panasonic consumer camcorders to feature 3CDD's before all manufacturers changed to the cheaper CMOS sensor. The significant advantage that CCD's hold over...
