    Aeroxcraft Camera gimbal DJI F550

    Does anyone know if it is ok to put something like the Sony NEX-5 on the DJI F550 Naza+GPS. I'm thinking of getting the Aeroxcraft camera gimbal and landing gear so I can haul the NEX-5. Is this camera too big for the F550 or would it haul it? I know Aeroxcraft makes a gimbal for the GoPro, but...

    Is there a real advantage to using the SimonK ESCs on the Naza? Or is the Opto just as fast?

    IMU Calibration

    Hi all, I'm calibrating my IMUs and I'm using a bubble level on the top of my F550 to make sure it's level when calibrating. But even after calibration I'm still getting a slight drift to the right. So I added even a little more wedge under the right side of the hex to lift the right side. I...

    GPS pirouette

    Has anyone been able to get the DJI F550 to stay in the same spot while doing a pirouette when in GPS mode? My F550 hold quite will in GPS mode but wonders halfway through a pirouette. I carefully measured the GPS placement in regards to the CG and I think I got it right on. Will

    Latest vid with new Sunex lens on GoPro

    I just modded my GoPro with the Sunex Lens DSL355A-650-F2.8. Well, I like the lack of fish-eye, but now it really seems to be susceptible to any movement. My problems my be: The new lens. Making the earplug vid dampeners too long. Gains too high in the gimbal. Not sure; but here's the vid...

    pirouette in loiter mode = some drift

    Hey guys, Anyone finding that when you are in loiter mode and you do a pirouette you find that craft drifts a little? I thought that I could stick in loiter and it would stay at the single spot and not move at all when I pirouette. Could I have missed something in the setup?

    Hobby partz won't ship my battery order.

    Guess what! We in Canada can no longer get LiPo batteries from the U.S. That is really frustrating. Anyone know where one can buy Lipo batteries outside of the U.S. and won't charge an arm and leg for shipping like Hobby King does?

    My FPV video just crapped out

    My video just crapped out. I think my VTx 800mW 1.3mHz died. I think this because my GoPro doesn't show video on the Transmitter either. My GoPro does work on the TV and when hooked up directly my Fat Shark. Funny thing is, When I hook my Gopro up to my Fat Shark directly it works as expected...

    Attitude and GPS sudden ascent

    Whenever I flick into attitude or GPS lock my DJI F550 suddenly ascends, I have to pull the stick down to stop the raise, but when I go back to manual the Hex will suddenly drop and descend and I have to give throttle to stop the plummet. Why can I get my Hex to just stay at the same altitude...

    Graupner 10x5 on stock DJI motor issue

    I have an issue with the Graupners. While they fit right onto the DJIs, the threads on the DJI motor's prop adapter/shaft don't run deep enough to hold the Graupners tight. The hub on the graupner is shorter than the hub on the DJI props. How do you guys get around this? Do you use a washer or...
