I zapped a LiPo and need to dispose of one. I left it hooked up to an auto bulb overnight and each cell is down to about 0.10v I've read that I need to get them down to 0 before connecting the + - wires together before throwing away. How can I get the cells down to 0? They won't seem to go...

Yesterday, I toasted a brand new 4S 5000 mah 35-70 while setting up the naza (not flying). Something sucked out voltage FAST. Not sure how to troubleshoot so looking for some advice. I'll layout as much of the situation as possible, maybe someone can help me track down the issue: Putting...

I have a 4s nanotech 5000mah 35-70c battery. It was at 3.7 per cell and I was using it to calibrate in the assistant software. I did this with my 450 with similar voltage per cell but saw it was drawing next to nothing and was fine. What I didn't realize is my 550 is chock full of stuff...

simple one, but can't figure it out. How are you guys getting the LED strips (the ones with the 3M adhesive strip) on the back to stick to the arms? Mine keep popping off. I thought about using a glue gun or a little superglue, but don't want to make a mess of anything, especially if it's...

I've successfully set up a 450 naza 2 using a taranis frsky, so I'm not totally brain dead. Just stuck with some basic understanding on my next project, which is a 550 Naza2, using: 1. iOSD mini 2. TS832 transmitter 3. H3-2D gimble So a few really basic questions: 1. How do I ultimately get...

Trying to figure out the DJI fpv stuff and wondering if i need a "CAN HUB" seems i am one connection short of putting all the following items to use: 1. iosd mini 2. zenmuse h3-2d cgu 3. BTU 4. Naza PMU am I one can bus port shy here? does it matter which one is connected to the naza pmu first?

I'd like to hardwire some LED's on my 550, but not sure it's a great idea. If mounted on the arms, do they mess with video footage?

Ok, so brand new to FPV. Have no idea what i'm doing with FPV. Just finished a successful 450 build (thanks bart) and trying the next challenge. This is going on my 550 (transmitting video signal back to a monitor with a built in receiver) Question, do I solder the positive and negative...

Anyone have a good plan for a full menu of electronics? Seems like all here and would love to see how everyone places everything and the logic behind it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I purchased a 550 heavy lift kit from Aerial Media Pros last week. Started my build as soon as the items showed up. Kinda bummed at the hardware included with the heavy lift kit. Three big problems: 1. bullet connectors too long -- they stick out 1.5mm in the stock 550 dji esc. Stock bullets...

I'm currently using my Taranis frsky and xr8 receiver on a dji 450 quad with a Naza V2 gps. I'm using the sbus port to connect to the Naza. I just purchased a set of retractable legs: two servos with a "Y" harness going into one connector. So my question: If I'm using my sbus port now & want...

$85 shipped. Paid 100 plus ship/tax - and put it together. Going with a retractable system instead. Never flown. Complete kit Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sorry mate, one more question, but think it will be helpful to more than just me. What battery specs are you using for your personal 550 heavy lift multirotor? I'll be flying mine with a zenmuse H3-2d/gopro setup. I'd like to buy a battery specifically for this project. Thanks Patrick.

Went to a baseball field to fly. Got super confident and started buzzing all around and I heard someone yell out: "watch out for the fishing lines!!!" So glad they said somethin' -- I looked really close and there was fishing lines strung up like 30 feet up in the air to keep the geese and...

Hi Patrick, I just bought the 7" monitor with the built in receiver (along with my naza/gps/heavy lift kit. Can you please tell me what i need to power this with a LiPo? I assume a 3 cell lipo (11.1V) but not sure what mah/size/etc to go with. Also, can you please explain which...

It's strange to me that there isn't a dedicated discharger for Lipo's on the market. I know some chargers have a discharge mode, but they seem limited and all need to be connected to a power source in order to discharge. I've read several posts where, people hook up bulbs/resistors and other...

Thinking of getting a set of wood props: LINK How do you go about getting them on the stock dji motors? The plastic ones have a "notch" for the part of the shaft that has been machined flat. Anybody know?

so my beach is empty in the winter, I'd like to do some flying here, but the evil here is the sand and salt, neither good for electronics. I'm definitely going to fly the beach, no getting around that. Just curious to some methods people use for take off and landing to minimize any sand...

Hi guys, I want to set up my 550 for FPV. Want to use my gopro hero 3+ (for fpv and to record what it sees) You guys were great and would like to give you the business. Going to buy the naza 2 gps iosd package but need help with other products I'll have to buy to achieve the FPV. I need...

I would like to add LED strips to my 450. should I just solder the voltage regulator directly to the power pads and run off of that? is anybody doing it differently? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
